Recombee

Quite easy to integrate into your system and the customer support is gold

Kommentare: This becomes one of the selling points of the project I was working on.

Vorteile:

Even if the free version, you can do nearly whatever the hell you wanna do with the system. With small-size business, 100,000 requests per month is enough to give you life. There are a ton of library that you can integrate into, though I'm using NextJs and run into some troubles at first. The technical lead was basically always there to give me direction lol even though I was on my free plan.

Nachteile:

May take you a little bit of coding experience if you want to integrate in react or nextjs. Also sometimes the connection is slow, it throws timeout exception (you have to manually set it)

I would recommend Recombee

Kommentare: It has been a great experience both from a product standpoint but also a customer service standpoint. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been extremely helpful in helping tonebase get set up.

Vorteile:

1. The price point is unbeatable compared to other services 2. Its extremely easy to implement from a software engineering perspective 3. It has a robust set of features but they do not crowd the interface, the core concepts are very clear 4. The documentation was very clear as to how to implement the actual integration

Nachteile:

Only would love a button to promote the data from staging db to production db. If recombee can add that to their product roadmap that would be extremely helpful imo.

Easy but expensive

Kommentare: Yeah, we have personal recommendations! (But we don't see any significant slift-ups in our orders.)

Vorteile:

- It's very easy to use - Fast an good results - Very flexible

Nachteile:

- No match score available - Expensive, if you use all features. Caused by per request pricing. - Client-Caching required to control costs

Underdog in Recommender Engines

Vorteile:

The very powerful full-text multi entity search engine was the first feature we used in beta state for our customers but in my opinion the best feature is the more or less classic recommender engine service that drives 90% of the pages at some of our customers e-commerce solutions.

Nachteile:

Like mentioned above the search engine is at Standard level(at the moment). But I don’t think that really is a „con“. They improve it and give more and more options by the time we are running our systems on that. So It stays stable and we and recombee can focus on new features.

A great purchase

Vorteile:

The accuracy is what sets this recommendation engine apart. Recombee team also ensures that customer support is better than any other company.

Nachteile:

None that come to my mind. We still need to test it with other languages though.
