Algolia is great
What do you like best about the product?
The libraries and SDKs are awesome. It's wonderful to use. The free tier is generous. Documentation is terrific.
What do you dislike about the product?
The indices are too tied to the organization, but it's easy to work around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for fast search for a open source documentation site.
Since we use Firebase as a backend Algolia instant search have been really a great asset.
What do you like best about the product?
The search experience is amazing.. no crash related to that.. the weekly insights
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing to be honnest.. being billed to the greatest number between search requests and records is a little bit too much.. we use algolia to search users by name.. we aim for millions of users so the price keeps scaling
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because we use firebase.. which doesn't support full text search algolia has helped by allowing typo tolerance.. case insensitivity..
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I say if you can afford it go for it
The best search system for firestore
What do you like best about the product?
The best of all is the ease of integration with your project, both to the back and front, and how easy it is to build the queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it does not have a pay per use as firebase does, you only have 2 options, the free account or the payment commitment, use or do not use all your operations for which you are going to pay
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Algolia, I integrated a search system in my project made with Angular / Fire. Now I am thinking of integrating its geo-search. Hopefully, it will be as good as your search with firestore.
Extremely easy setup with default settings
What do you like best about the product?
Easier to setup than Algolia and more better search results with default settings. Intuitive backend with rank-boosting and promoted search results. All you have to do is enter your domain name.
What do you dislike about the product?
While being a bit more expensive than Algolia, it more than covers it in implementation costs, due to it's easy setup. Also, I have still have not found out how to remove the Sajari-logo from our search results page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We sell banners on the search-result-page, so we need a solution that, like Google, displays a select-box with search key-words, and not the actual results page. Then when the search-result-page will always have the right search-keyword for the banners (and not half of it)
Amazing Team
What do you like best about the product?
Their main product works perfectly. But what I especially like about the company is their transparency to their customers and their engineering blogs helping others build amazing products. Reading their blog posts how they solved a complicated technical issue is a really good learning experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little confusing what everything does, but you grasp it quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We haven't actually deployed Algolia just yet, but it is being implemented for our SaaS platform.
Algolia - the future of free text search
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed that I can implamnt a complex test search at a low price and high performance and accuracy. The fast ramp-up and implementation are very impressive, which is my go-to solution for this kind of task. I like the framework and the React components that they provide to connect the search in your application, such as the backend implementation that was for most of my clients just writing two firebase cloud functions that reflect the changes in the database and move it to Alolia.
The indexing speed for extensive scale data was super fast, and the search yield accurate results almost right away.
Also, the tutorials on the web were helpful, and I understood that a large community uses this product, and I am in the right way. Also, the firebase official docs recommend using this tool for this specific problem that I was facing.
All of that - but the best part is the low amount of code you need to deploy and maintain to get this result.

What do you dislike about the product?
The free tier is very generous, but some clients needed more time and large-scale opportunities to see the system in action on live production data.
Also, sometimes the customer raised concern about having two sets of databases, one for search and one for operations, as to migrate the existing one to Aloliga was a big task.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Algolia to solve a problem., I use Alogolia as a database for open text search that in some databases don't have this capability in the desired standards and perfonce. Many of my clients use Firebase firestore that doesn't have free text search (some as other limitations). In many apps, this is a critical feature of the system. I hooked up Algolia to the firestore via Firebase could function, and now I can offer a free text search to my clients
Just a easy and fast way of improving my web and get great feedback from customers
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to understand how everything works and you see the results right away on the web. Plus the support team answers really fast so i have all the answers back right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess it just would be nicer as a big company that we would have 1 of our own people from Algolia that will answer the questions we have and maybe give some advice as a person who knows what algolia can make with our web
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The top products in categories, synonyms for easier results, and little personalisation on web.
Algolia makes it easier to implement a full AI powered smart search into any form of applications.
What do you like best about the product?
Great documentation and the features provided by the algolia. specially how it intergrates with framworks such as laravel, flask etc . . . and most impotantly the incredible search it provides. also amount of customization it has it incredible. i was able to fine tune the search engine to provide the best solution and search results that my customers expected. ai ranking is very good. custom ranking was easy to use. from php/laravel i was able to customize the data models uploaded to the algolia. also happy with the speed it works.
What do you dislike about the product?
the web ui is bit slow and sometimes does not update data displayed. it uses react so its bit heavy. also php documentaion support is not updated in some time. its still showing old php documentaions. documentation is veavily fragmented to the point some times its very hard to undestand or make sence of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
used algolia in a project to improve search of thar application suite. using algolia we could tune the algorithem to our liking and was able to hit the standars we were expecting. by using cutome rankings we tuned the search algorithem to do out biding. results was withing out expectation and beyond. overtime we saw a increase in site traffic and algolia usage. we also were able to utilize the algolia provided analytics to further improve the search rankings to our liking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you need a search engine that works almost out of the box and easier to setup, algolia will serve you the best!
Must-have for a good search experience
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is a must-have when it comes to search and faceted navigation.
I deployed it on some project, and all my clients were amazed about how fast and relevant it is.
I used it for global autocomplete search, global search experience, and faceted search.
It's always a WOW effect.
It brings so many features that you don't need to develop that the price is almost a detail.
