How to choose a Sinequa alternative
- Look at zero-result analytics during the trial. What your users search for and do not find is the most valuable output of any search tool.
- For enterprise search, permission awareness is non-negotiable: results must respect the access rules of the source system, not a copied snapshot.
- Model the pricing unit against growth — per-record pricing behaves very differently from per-query once your catalogue or traffic grows.
