RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SearchBlox, a trusted provider of AI-powered enterprise search and knowledge discovery solutions, today announced that it has been named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide General-Purpose Knowledge Discovery Software 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US53011225, November 2025).
We believe the recognition underscores SearchBlox's differentiated strategy in helping organizations unlock value from unstructured data through hybrid multimodal search, private LLM deployment, integrated RAG pipelines, and automated content intelligence — all delivered through a predictable, fixed-cost pricing model.
Strengths highlighted for SearchBlox
The IDC MarketScape recognized SearchBlox for the following strengths:
- Fully integrated search and RAG platform: Search AI is an inclusive, feature-rich platform with a hybrid, multimodal search architecture that combines vector and keyword search for accurate and contextual outcomes. With integrated RAG and a private LLM, customers can quickly build and deploy internal or customer-facing GenAI applications such as document comparisons and summarizations, assistants, chatbots, and agents. The private LLM runs on a customer's own infrastructure, ensuring data residency and privacy.
- Straightforward pricing model: SearchBlox offers a straightforward, fixed, annual pricing. The self-managed tiers — single server and high availability cluster —come with standard support, including all platform features such as GenAI capabilities, prebuilt connectors, and integrated RAG. Its transparent model is designed to eliminate hidden costs and make budgeting predictable. The fixed cost model eliminates ambiguity that can come with token-based pricing and allows customers to scale as the content/document volumes grow.
- Private LLM deployment: SearchBlox's private LLM is a key feature of its enterprise AI platform for secure on-premises or private cloud solutions. The private LLM is natively integrated with RAG. In addition to data security, it has cost and scale implications, as SearchBlox offers a fixed cost and customers do not have to manage embedding or token spend.
"We believe being named a Major Player in the 2025 IDC MarketScape reflects our commitment to providing secure, explainable, and cost-predictable AI search at enterprise scale," said Robert Selvaraj, CEO at SearchBlox. "Enterprises want AI that is reliable, private, and affordable — not a black box with unpredictable costs. SearchAI delivers the control, governance, and transparency needed to build trustworthy GenAI applications with confidence."
