Solr as a Service
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating new indexes was unparalleled. It really made our implementations easier. And the auto-fallback was great.
What do you dislike about the product?
There weren't really any downsides. I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We frequently use Solr on premise, which incurs quite a bit of overhead in maintenance.
Good Product with excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
Searchstax has very good and flexible customer support. They are pro customer in most cases and go out of their way to do what is needed. So far i have had good experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing should be looked at, more tier and flexibility to choose for customers. I understand the challenges but steep price increases annually is not good for customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searchstax is used as search for websites, managed by searchstax team. With less effort spent for managing & hosting search , development team can focus on other features and functionalities. Scalability of instances is good benefit we have seen.
Sitecore Searchstax implementation

Great pro-active support. Configuration is well documented and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
(Azure based) authentication options were limited.

Sitecore search engine indexing.
Simple, straighforward Solr integration
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome team. Responsive. Helpful. Simple intergration. I have contacted SearchStax to get a quote for a Solr Search integration in AEM for an RFP. Even though the bid was awarded to another agency, I would not hesitate to recommend SearchStax. Building a Solr indexing ourselves would have taken a great amount of effort and therefore cost. SolarStax made it extremly simple and have taken all the hard work out of the equation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't say anything bad about you guys, but maybe provide better infographics for those that aren't developers. IE stakeholders, PO,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost. Solr search is a very niche field and finding qualified resources to help in the implementation would be next to impossible. Keep it up.
One less thing to worry about
What do you like best about the product?
Simple set-up and maintenance. After having implemented Solr Cloud cluster myself, knowing I can relay on SearchStax to set it up and keep it running 24*7, has become a no-brainer, stright forward decision.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have seen a couple of scenarios when performance has been degraded, instead of suggesting improvements in the way Solr is used, an up scale was suggested. I could understand some level of consultancy could require a paid service, but in our case, simple basic changes, already documented, were enough to avoid the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we need Solr for Sitecore, SearchStax takes care of 1/3 or the architecure/hosting, meaning 1/3 of the problems
Search details, control of stopwords and custom directory filters
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the Searches Dashboard. I like how it is set up by popular searches, no result searches and searches with no clicks. I like to see the search count and percentages. I like control of the stopwords. I like how we were able to incorporate a better filter system for our directory. I like the great customer support we have been given with directory features. I use it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I need to have warnings on certain aspects, that when I try to change something that it could break somethings. I know there are some things I cannot touch or it will break other aspects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I get to see what people are searching for on my website on a daily basis. I use that to proritize my webpage updates to create better customer service.

Straightforward search tool
