Can anyone compare Solr with Autonomy?

["scott chu (朱炎詹)" <sc...@udngroup.com>]

Hi all,
    Does anyone know about these 2 systems & make a siginificant comparison? 
My compnay has intention to purchase Autonomy but it's very very expensive?

Best regards,

Scott

Hi Scott,
I can say that in my experience I've seen a company dropping the Autonomy
solution in favour of Apache Solr :-)
It's not a comparison and nor a matter of better/worse but it can count when
evaluating how market is behaving regarding that.

Scott,

I doubt anyone (here or elsewhere) can give you a thorough and unbiased 
comparison.

My suggestion is:
1) Figure out what functionality you need and what matters to you
2) Evaluate Solr with those requirements in mind.  Check with the list or an 
expert if you see/think that Solr can't do something from 1) or doesn't do it 
well
3) Move onto an evaluation of a commercial search solution if you are unhappy 
with the results you see in 2)

Of course, we know 3) won't be needed - welcome to Solr! ;)
