Frequently asked questions
How is Bazaarvoice priced?
Bazaarvoice publishes packages rather than prices. Its portfolio is split into Source, Display and Amplify, and within the Display ratings and reviews line there are Essentials, Advanced and Enterprise tiers. Each package is paired with a recommended implementation service. You need to talk to sales to get a quote.
How long does implementation take?
No specific timeline is published. Bazaarvoice states that each package is paired with a recommended implementation service, and the platform exposes ratings and reviews APIs and iOS/Android SDKs on the Enterprise tier, so plan for a phased rollout rather than a same-day widget drop-in.
Which compliance certifications does Bazaarvoice hold?
The Bazaarvoice trust page states ISO/IEC 27001 certification as its latest certification and describes dedicated security and privacy teams. No SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP or ISO 42001 claims appear on the trust page, so treat those as unverified until the vendor confirms them.
What support is included?
Support plans run Standard, Priority and Enterprise. Critical tickets are answered within one hour, coverage is business hours on Standard and Priority and 24/5 on Enterprise. Inbound phone support is reserved for critical issues, and a Technical Success Manager is shared on lower plans and assigned on Enterprise.
Does Bazaarvoice offer AI features or an MCP server?
The trust page describes AI-driven moderation of user-generated content, and the pricing page lists AI-powered insights and recommendations as rolling out around August 2026. No Model Context Protocol server is named anywhere in the published material, so buyers should confirm any AI or agent integration directly.
