Overall Satisfaction with Apache Solr

Apache Solr helps us create a dynamic and engaging search engine interface for our customers. It addresses the challenge of delivering accurate and fast search results to the users of our website. It allows our development teams to customize the search experience to our unique needs.
  • Provide an organized search platform that is easily customizable.
  • Provides easy-to-use documentation.
  • Offers several different methods of indexing and parsing search data.
  • The admin UI is good, but could be a bit more user-friendly. The field names are not very intuitive and require a learning curve.
  • Apache Solr has helped increase our conversion by directing our customers to more accurate and predictive product results.
Before using Solr, we used a self-made search engine. Solr has helped us increase our capacity to serve our customers the results they are looking for easily without breaking down. Our previous platform was not dynamic enough to accommodate our growing traffic or smart enough to handle such a wide range of products. Solr solves both these problems.
Solr is great if you are interested in customizing and configuring a search experience for your users. Without configuration, the search experience is fairly basic and would not be suitable for a large website, but if you are willing to put in the time and development, it can become a very powerful tool that will engage your consumers.
