Watch out." — 4.0/5 > **José Javier** | *24 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact that It multiplies your processing power, not only in searches, but also in helping you organise and prioritise everyday activities > > **Cons**: Lack of consistency. I feel that I do not always get the same level of "intelligence". Sometimes you feel the agent is totally aligned with your intentions. Some other times It seems sluggish. > > Very positive on the whole. Very useful tool. Specially performing internet searches which always come with accurate sources. ----- ### "Designing experiments with AI models" — 4.0/5 > **Waheed Ahmad** | *9 December 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am a researcher and this app has helped me organise my literature and experiments in a great way. In addition, I am using the app daily for generating emails and refining them so that it gives consistency to my email. I like the way it reasons scientifically and can give one actual research papers. > > **Cons**: I feel with the advent of new AI model like ChatGPT 5.1 and Grok4.1, it is somehow lagging behind. In addition to this, the feature of not being able to generate word or pdf files is something that I do not like. > > My overall experience is great. I am using this daily in my life for organising my experiments, designing new experiments and take a hold of literature in my field. I also use it for analysis of my scientific data like growth curves, PCR, genomics and proteomics. ----- ### "Terrible customer support" — 1.0/5 > **Melad** | *6 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can change models mid chat, fast q\&a experience, and overall decent app for getting quick answers to questions or doing research-type work > > **Cons**: Their customer support is terrible. I joined a friend's enterprise plan for a couple months to try it out and then left, then all my chats and spaces disappeared as if I started a fresh account. My previously pro account also is no longer working for some reason even though I still have another 7 months left on my plan. I email their enterprise support, get a chatbot response with a canned message to follow certain instructions which I did, and then complete silence for 2 weeks. I follow up, get the same chatbot answering saying I'll get a response when I can, and then more silence. After another week, I email their other support (non enterprise) saying the situation and how I've gotten no response for weeks and the same AI said that it escalated that request and I'll hear back in 2 days. It's now been over a week. First I didn't know if it was just me or if their customer support sucks, but then I searched online and it turns out that their support actually does suck because I'm far from being the only one. tldr is that this is the worst customer support I have experienced in a really long time. I'd be embarrassed if this were my company. Safe to say that I won't be using perplexity anymore which is a shame because I was looking forward to using the new computer feature, but I'm going to use manus instead ----- ### "Like having my personal assistant who knows where to find and how to fix everything" — 5.0/5 > **M. Cristina** | *25 May 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works more like a search engine than an AI and give you all the links to the fonts from where the info comes, so that you can check first hand if the source is reliable. > > **Cons**: It is just more psychological than anything else, I feel very ambivalent towards AI, I do not like the way they use artists' work to train AI, so I am a bit against, but Perplexity uses AI to find stuff, rather than to rip artists off. Or this is at least my impression. > > I started using Perplexity to experiment with AI but I soon realised that it was a great search tool, much better than Google: it doesn't flood you with advertisement or paid ads and gives you always relevant results, but the best feature is the direct link to the sources, so that you can judge yourself whether they are reliable, and so far, they always were. And it really helps with finding obscure stuff on the web, stuff that would have taken me 30 minutes, Perplexity takes a few seconds. And another great function is that I can upload pictures, for example, it happened that I had an issue with my computer, I uploaded the screenshot and Perplexity delivered the solution, explaining me exactly how to fix the error. ----- ### "Perplexity - Great search/LLM combo tool" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *12 May 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how it searches the web for results as opposed to other LLMs that don't (I know now that many do). The user interface is also great and the fact that I can choose different models is a huge differentiator > > **Cons**: The desktop app is pretty buggy over the course of using it for a few months. I also think they are losing ground on the next-gen models but I don't have much of a basis of saying that besides other tech people not citing Perplexity as pushing the envelope. > > Overall it is an incredible daily research tool and it has replaced Google search for me. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1058833/perplexity?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1058833/perplexity) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
