Malte Landwehr - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President, Seo at idealo Internet GmbH
Experience frequent delays and privacy concerns with current research tool
I advise not to use the web interface or the mobile app. If you think you should use it, use the self-hosted version. I gave DeepSeek a rating of 3 out of 10 because the core product, when it works, is actually good. But so often it's not working that I just can't give it a higher score.
Malte Landwehr - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President, Seo at idealo Internet GmbH
Staying updated with pop culture is easier, but voice feature needs refinement
On Twitter, or X itself, the option that on any post, I can just access Grok functionality with one click is valuable. In general, I appreciate the ability to discuss very current trends and developments. Because I cannot follow all Internet subculture all day every day, Grok makes it easy to get accurate information on these up-to-date pop cultural phenomena.

Pros

"DeepSeek makes its reasoning traces public."
"I previously tried to do the same with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, but none of them have the ability for this up-to-date, real-time, niche, pop culture knowledge that Grok possesses."

Cons

"The product is often extremely slow, and queries frequently fail due to system overload."
"Grok is already pretty good, but I don't like the voice mode. It doesn't work very well, giving very long answers and explanations and repeating certain greetings."
