Search insights have reduced no-result queries and guide visitors quickly to relevant content
In my opinion, the best features Coveo offers are that it's quick, it's easy to navigate, and if you have something you want to know, Coveo is very helpful in helping you find out how to get the information that you need and sort the information that you need. Of those features, the main thing I find myself appreciating the most in my day-to-day work is being able to find what I need without spending a huge amount of time. The speed and easy navigation are important; there are other tools that do the same thing, but finding what I need quickly really matters.

Automation has accelerated agent workflows and now needs broader connections for enterprise data
In the current function calling, if Fireworks AI could be added as part of our RAG system not only with the function calling we are using now but also with a variety of other connections, then an even better situation would be possible. Fireworks is based on tool calling, so it needs to add more different kinds of connections to enable faster data retention and optimization. Although multiple optimal optimization or measurement methodologies for using LLMs are being discussed, when using them inside enterprises, the main thing is actually measuring work handling capability or work processing speed. Based on that, and also through what might be called interviews with business-side staff, we measured the speed improvements in a somewhat indirect manner.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Coveo has positively impacted my organization by cutting down the number of no result searches from something like 15% to about 5%, which is huge, saving calls to call center people and probably preventing people from seeking out products from our competitors, so we get people to pages that they want more quickly and more effectively."
"Coveo already has a very good e-learning platform with multiple courses to learn and certifications to achieve, so it is very good in terms of the learning curve for new users or developers working with it."
"One of the standout features of Coveo is its AI-powered search relevance, which helps users find the right content quickly."
"Before moving to Coveo, we had metrics of user clicks around two million, but after we went live with Coveo, user clicks and all view analytics jumped up over 3.5 million, which was a significant upgrade after implementing Coveo."
"Coveo is scalable and I have not seen any latency issue."
"Coveo provides a search engine experience that is superior when compared to the other search engines available in the market as of now."
"What we are seeing is that our sales have significantly increased by twenty to thirty percent just within one year of using Coveo."
"I would highly recommend Coveo as it is smart, fast, relevant, and especially suitable for big sites and large e-commerce setups."
"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by making our AI features feel more production-ready instead of experimental."
"After introducing Fireworks AI's high-speed inference engine, I found that communication speed between agents was about twice as fast as before."
"Fireworks AI has impacted us positively as it helps in offering us access to the open-source models by advancing fine-tuning options, a massive library where we can get information from the database that we can use in line with our company policy."
"Fireworks AI has helped our organization by enabling us to create a platform for artists to sell their art styles."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by increasing our AI response time by twenty to fifty percent, as we now have AI agents and AI features that return answers twenty to fifty percent faster."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted my organization by helping my productivity go up."
"The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology."
 

Cons

"Coveo can improve by supporting a few more languages."
"The main area I would improve is the learning curve because there are many concepts and configuration options, and understanding how indexing, query pipelines, security, and all those pieces work together requires experience."
"I faced some challenges regarding the accuracy of the search results with Coveo."
"I chose eight out of ten because we have some limitations, such as when we share heavy data, where a large number of data takes more time for Coveo to process; that is one area where Coveo needs to improve, but apart from that, it is good."
"The learning curve can be steep for new developers, especially when working with relevance tuning, query pipelines, and advanced configurations."
"One other suggestion is that as of now, the sync between our Salesforce and Coveo is one hour."
"I think Coveo can be improved by providing a sandbox for developers, even if you are not part of an organization, and the API configurations can be made a bit easier because there are a lot of options right now which confuses users."
"While Coveo is overall very fast, I find the development integration somewhat challenging."
"Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience."
"The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp."
"Fireworks AI can be improved by addressing that costs can rise at scale."
"The customer support for Fireworks AI is average."
"One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase."
"In the current function calling of Fireworks AI, I am using it as one part of my RAG system. If Fireworks AI could be enhanced not only with the function calling I currently use, but also by adding a variety of other connections, then I think it would lead to an even better situation."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
