Microsoft FAST is quite robust. Our clients are quite happy with it. For other users who already have a solution in place, we recommend Microsoft FAST because it is more compatible and you can organize the solution with Microsoft components. If you are with any other third party, there could be a chance that the required output is not what you would expect. But with Microsoft, it will work better. It is compatible with the older generation systems, so you can offer it. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Microsoft FAST an eight because I'm quite comfortable with it.
