isango! tried multiple solutions on SaaS and PaaS models. They tried to run Solr on their own VMs as well. After multiple POCs and even some R&D investment, isango! discovered SearchStax. isango! tested other platforms and found them lacking compared to SearchStax: not as stable and needed too much attention or required too much effort to configure.
“SearchStax fulfilled all our criteria,” said isango! isango! chose SearchStax PaaS technology for its Solr needs. The Solr instances SearchStax delivers are finely tuned and battle-tested over hundreds of deployments, many connected to Sitecore. Because SearchStax is PaaS, each Solr instance is fully independent from other clients.
With SearchStax, isango! now enjoys high-performance, high-availability Solr. isango! can deploy complex Solr instances with a few minutes’ work and perform DevOps operations that are notoriously complex in Solr with just a few clicks. Now isango! leaves the mundane operations and maintenance of its Solr infrastructure to SearchStax and can call on Solr engineers from SearchStax if the need arises.
Here’s the bottom line according to isango! “SearchStax is a key component of our technology stack.”
