I can search my Microsoft Outlook emails and my desktop files at the same time.
I can search my Microsoft Outlook emails and my desktop files at the same time. I also love the preview function in the search pane We're using a shared index for our company, so everyone in the company is able to search from a single index. That means that each computer has more resources…

Robust solution with good value
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.
