What it does

Sinequa is an enterprise search and AI platform that large organizations use to build search, AI assistants, and automated agents grounded in their internal data. IT teams deploy it to index content across many systems using more than 200 pre-built connectors, and configure hybrid search, which blends keyword matching with meaning-based retrieval. Employees then use the search and chat interface to find documents and get answers cited back to the source. Access follows role-based permissions carried over from the source systems, with encryption and audit logging built in. Sinequa holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA-related certifications and is part of the ChapsVision group.

Where it can help

This fits a large, complex company, such as a bank, drug company, or government contractor, with content spread across many old systems and real rules around access and audits; it is generally not a simple self-serve tool. A realistic starting point is a small pilot on two or three of your top data sources, run with Sinequa's setup team rather than as a broad rollout. Sinequa does not publish pricing, and projects typically involve extra paid services, so budget for both software and setup time. Check the timeline and staff needed to keep 200-plus connectors working as source systems change, and confirm its certifications match your specific rules rather than assuming general compliance is enough.

How the number is calculated

The score converts the baseline ELO rating onto the TriVista scale. The headline badge rounds to a whole number. Scores are not silently clipped or capped.

TriVista Score = 50 + (ELO − 1350) / 6

Before you choose
  • Customer feedback is not yet strong enough to change the starting rating.
  • The starting rating includes a product-specific comparison.
  • Check the current price before you decide.
  • We recorded rollout time, how it runs, and when it does not fit.
How company details affect the score

The model adjusts the starting rating using the company details you select. Use these estimates to prioritize your review, then test the tool against your own requirements.

Get started

What you need first

What you need firstSet up the basics

Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.

Recommended next action

Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.

Risk profile

Required controls

Security and safe use

Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.

Exit and rollback

Export retrieval and ranking configuration, plus connector configuration, ACL mappings, index scopes, synonyms, ranking rules, source citations, query logs, feedback, and action definitions from Sinequa. Keep authoritative source records in CRM. Source content should remain in its repositories, but indexes, embeddings, relevance tuning, and learned behavior will require rebuilding; test reindexing and permission fidelity before cutover. The catalog status is “Active | acquired by ChapsVision”; confirm renewal, support, successor-product, and migration rights before further commitment.

Recommended next step

Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
