IBM Watson: never lose a document again
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
IBM Watson is in use by several of my clients as a text crawling and indexing system. The software does a superb job at indexing a large data set and providing those results in a very easily accessible format for end users. No document is lost or misplaced as it scans and indexes even within the body or file.
Pros
- Impressive and efficient indexing system.
- Rarely does the indexing have issues that need to rebuild/reindex.
- Searches are almost instantaneous and end users can move on to the next task.
Cons
- The software is semi-limited to indexing and searching.
- Software does not force a specific "structure" as some document management systems do.
Likelihood to Recommend
If one is looking for a content crawling search engine (think "Google" but on your own private system), IBM Watson does a great job. It is also very good for locating duplicate files/folders and lost items. If document organization and searching is the goal, IBM Watson hits the nail on the head.
