Technical Specialist at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I find Microsoft FAST robust, user-friendly, and good value, with a straightforward setup. While generally stable, updates can cause issues, and documentation for support is sometimes lacking. Customer service response is also slow.
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees5.0I find Microsoft FAST an amazing search application, competitive with Google and consistent. However, Google's age and reliability mean it's still preferred. I love Microsoft products for their simplicity and security.
