Excellent support, good personalization, and helps simplify search

We'd like to see the following adjustments: * A focus on the client's products * Luigi's Box should gradually apply manual input to automation * Not all e-shops are the same, and they should differentiate more Our products are really diverse. Not everything can be done automatically, and manual intervention is required. However, support will solve everything. I'm looking forward to the product's AI implementation. Luigi's Box should also focus on the possibility of finding out more information about the user before he comes to the website. Otherwise, it's a nice product as it is, and I probably wouldn't make any major changes.

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.
