Legacy Search Insights modules retired, removal December 2026
Affects Bloomreach Search (Discovery) customers who use legacy Insights reports. Those modules stopped receiving new data on 31 July 2026 and are due to leave the UI in December 2026 (Bloomreach calls the dates tentative). The new Performance dashboard replaces them, and users must export historical data before removal.
The following modules will stop receiving new data from July 31, 2026, onwards, but will remain accessible for historical data until they are removed from the UI.

What Bloomreach is, in short
Bloomreach is a commerce experience platform, competing with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Dynamic Yield, and Braze in the e-commerce personalization and engagement space. It combines three products: Discovery (AI-powered site search and merchandising), Engagement (CDP and marketing automation), and Content (headless CMS) — all purpose-built for commerce. Bloomreach's strength is its deep commerce focus — its Loomi AI understands product catalogs, shopping behavior, and commercial intent in ways that horizontal platforms cannot match. Engagement (formerly Exponea) provides a full CDP with real-time segmentation, email, push, SMS, and web personalization. Compared to Braze (broader CEP, not commerce-specific), Bloomreach offers integrated merchandising and search.
Versus Dynamic Yield (personalization focused), Bloomreach provides a more complete stack including CMS and marketing automation. Buyers should evaluate Bloomreach if they're an e-commerce business (DTC, marketplace, or omnichannel retail) needing integrated search + personalization + engagement. Each module can be purchased separately, but the value compounds when combined. Consider Braze if cross-channel engagement is the priority without commerce-specific needs, or Algolia + a separate CEP if you want best-of-breed search.
Bloomreach alternatives compared
Ranked by relationship first — a tool approved as a direct replacement outranks one that merely shares capabilities. Tools judged to be complements to Bloomreach are excluded, because running both is not the same as replacing it. Direct-replacement verdicts were checked by hand; the one-line verdicts were drafted by an AI model, and most partial-overlap verdicts were accepted on its confidence.
