Easy Integration
What do you like best about the product?
We switched from default Drupal solr search to Swiftype for one of my clients a few years ago. The thing that stood out the most to me was how easy it was to set up and integrate on my site. It worked with very little effort. I also like the weekly status emails that gives me an overview of searches.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was confused a few times while logging into the site. I clicked a different product and somehow signed up for a trial. That should be separated better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a good way to index our content and show relevant results. Swiftype allowed for that and also allowed for us eliminate duplicate results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and see if it helps you.

First experience was a good one

I like that it provides an easy way to integrate into various content management systems. It provides a business user friendly (easy) way to add weight to search results and other customizations.

I dislike the limited ability to modify the search results display. It's doable but I feel like it could probably be improved. Overall, pretty easy to implement.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Click around on the UI. Swiftype offers a lot of customization options that you likely should be using but aren't.
wonderful replacement of google, should have done sooner

Could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Auto complete search feature is great for user experience. Easy to implement
What do you dislike about the product?
The search result doesn't use meta tag or info from Yoast SEO(wordpress site). Google search result does. Especially for landing pages, archive pages, the description could become a mess with copy from the body.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stop using google search embed. Able to search for different sites or combine sites
Great search for customers to find what they need.
What do you like best about the product?
The relevancy and the immediacy of results via the dropdown on the front end.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to exclude people from within the company in the analytics renders this near useless as a small company. Also, it is not possible to open multiple results from a search in different tabs, however, this may be down to the way the developer installed it. Installation and set-up was fairly buggy, but again it might have more to do with the developer's process and customization on our site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We carry a large variety of products and it can be difficult to find items in the various categories, so good quality search is vital.
Great data driven insights
What do you like best about the product?
You have metrics and dashboards out of the box! Mining data and taking decisions is easier
What do you dislike about the product?
Components integration for certain front end technologies are out of date, it`s easy to use but not so flexible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got closer to how users interact with our documentation
Excellent onsite search - out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
Swiftype supports frontend-indexing. No matter the system behind your sites, the Swiftype crawler will find the content and add it to your desired index. This is a huge advantage compared to other enterprise onsite search solution where you need to implement API oder Database connectors.
You can also define the content and the content weight that gets crawled. It is possible to send metadata so that search results can be enriched with data like price and availability.
This is a very good concept for most small/mid size companies like us.

What do you dislike about the product?
Because of the frontend indexing new content is not added in realtime. However you are able to manually reindex your sites if you don't want to wait for the regular period to do so. Depending on the plan you have choosen this can be done multiple times or once.
We disliked the fact that pricing raised in the past. But it is still worth the money.
