Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Content Analytics
IBM Watson is in use by several of my clients as a text crawling and indexing system. The software does a superb job at indexing a large data set and providing those results in a very easily accessible format for end users. No document is lost or misplaced as it scans and indexes even within the body or file.
- Impressive and efficient indexing system.
- Rarely does the indexing have issues that need to rebuild/reindex.
- Searches are almost instantaneous and end users can move on to the next task.
- The software is semi-limited to indexing and searching.
- Software does not force a specific "structure" as some document management systems do.
- Organized, easy to produce search results.
- Never lose a document again.
IBM Watson is not quite in the same category as Worldox or NetDocuments as both are full-fledged document management. However, both vendors provide a similar searching and indexing product. Worldox provides searching and indexing but the Indexer is somewhat prone to issues. IBM Watson does not have the stability/consistency issues. NetDocuments is cloud-hosted document management and its index does not seem to have issues. That being said, there is a large premium as the data is all stored in a cloud container with the management system.
