The biggest SearchStax competitor is Do-It-Yourself or DIY. Our Managed Solr Search solution combines the ease of buying a solution with the power, flexibility and control benefits of DIY.
Your developers’ time is a very valuable commodity. They should spend their time focused on value-added activities such as building better search experiences instead of dealing with the mundane operational details of deploying, managing and scaling Solr infrastructure.
The SearchStax Solr-as-a-Service solution gives developers their time back and automates a huge chunk of this operational work without making them cede any flexibility or give up any control over their Solr infrastructure.
SearchStax can save days of time and thousands of dollars over a Do-It-Yourself approach.
