Command E is a free tool, suitable for small businesses or individual use. Although this price is more than competitive, this search engine has some limitations in its use. Indeed, this competitive price comes at the expense of the quality of the search. Commande E is limited to searching in the title of the document, which makes it very difficult if you do not remember the exact title of the document.
If you're looking for an alternative that offers an optimal search experience that will search your entire document collection, and the entire company, then a solution like Outmind is the right choice for you.
Outmind offers more advanced functionality at a price that any business can afford. Here is a comparison of Command E vs Outmind features to better judge the value for money.
As the price of Command E is not the most important point, here is a comparison of the features offered against those of Outmind.

Collaboration
Safety and Compliance

Synchronisable data
Although Command E is an interesting product, it is still rather limited in its search capabilities.
This is precisely what we expect from a search engine. If we already know where the information is, the value provided is not there.
Another important point for companies: improving the sharing of information between employees. But Command E does not offer management by company, only user by user.
So although it is free, the offer is still a little short of an optimal product for companies.
Company data is particularly important for confidentiality reasons.
In this context, using a French tool rather than an American one is reassuring.
Indeed, Outmind is based in Paris, and hosts all of its services on French territory, in servers that meet the highest security requirements and are ISO 27001 certified. And Outmind is of course RGPD compliant.
Furthermore, it is always important to ask yourself what the consideration is when using a free product.
