What differentiates HawkSearch from other similar products?

The first and most important thing that set HawkSearch from the competition is that it can be made to suit special needs. I can personally edit the results providing my company with the necessary data and information.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The biggest strength that I have found with using HawkSearch is that it does not take a lot to set up and use and it even has very detailed reporting for analysis of how well the search is working. Also, the customer support option has also been impressive. They are always willing to help me with my questions and assist in case of the occurrences of any problems.

What do you dislike most about this product?

A downside I have noticed is the cost of implementing HawkSearch as I noted earlier this may manifest as costly for a number of small businesses. Yet, there is a lot of value in the sense of what it provides in terms of quality and utility.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In conclusion, I would like to suggest HawkSearch for usage to any businessman who has a necessity to improve the search on their site and acquire a straightforward, yet powerful tool for this purpose. Having adopted HawkSearch, I can attest of an improvement in customers satisfaction as well as increased conversion rates.
