Great SaaS solution for rapidly implementing a powerful Search Feature in your App
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to implement complex search features, including faceting, performant autocompletion, and suggestions. The implementation is quickly done using their Instantsearch SDK. The best thing about this is that their Instantsearch SDK lets you easily override the whole Search UI to fit your brand and Components.
In my past experiences, I also used Elasticsearch, which is a great Open Source Search Solution. Although ES is very flexible, achieving the same Search Experience as Algolia is a tough road with Elasticsearch, especially for optimizing the queries and the ES architecture. It is also heavier on the maintenance side.
Algolia provides a straightforward experience and can even be easily configured by non-technical people (e.g. Synonyms configuration, ranking algorithm, etc.)

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing of Algolia can be a bit steep, especially if you want autocomplete or query suggestions as you type, as each "Search Query" counts towards your quota. For this reason, several clients of my company prefer to start with "Search on Enter" instead of "Search as you type" with Algolia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly using Algolia for Searching through normalized models such as web pages, recipes, user content, etc. Algolia is used on the Frontend for achieving a great Search Experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't currently edit existing synonyms and search promotions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before switching to Sajari, our users had to work in the confines of how the search operated, resulting in less or unwanted results. With Sajari we're able to fully customise our search results to conform with how our users search.

Simple but effective cloud based search as a service
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is easy to set up and the auto-indexing integration with Netlify works really well. I was able to install Algolia on my Gatsby.js static site and get the search up and running within an hour.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Algolia's free tier is very generous, if you exceed the free tier limit, it can get quite expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a real-time search solution for a static site. A static site doesn't have a backend server, so I needed a cloud-based search service and Algolia fit the bill.
Awesome features, super intuitive documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I really love how easy it is to implement Algolia, their documentation is really intuitive. Also, I've never seen a search tool with such advanced analytics data and features, as a marketer I find Algolia an absolute necessity for growing and bringing results to business that relies on search.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, I can't really think of anything that I dislike about Algolia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia helps me create delightful experiences for my customers, and its analytics tools gives me valuable insights on how I can improve the search experience and bring more results.
I'm using Algolia Search and Beta Answers
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia has always been a product to use for better search results, i.e. search applications that required NLP-assisted search.
Now, with Algolia Answers, one has access to ML/NLP search results i.e. cognitive search.
Additionally, Algolia offers a turnkey cloud search solution, with one's indices stored across three or more geographically distributed cloud instances.
I would definitely recommend Algolia.

Excellent Customer Support, pricing, and flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia’s customer support responds quickly. They would do their best to remedy the issue or find a workaround.
They would even create simulations for you to demonstrate before implementing the custom change.
The pricing works for start up like our that have low resources. We are not an eCommerce site. We just needed Aloglia for users to search from our list of universities.
Their dashboard is easy to navigate. Their custom features and documentation is easy to understand.

What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was support for more languages and support for features that caters to searching in a foreign language.
For example some Taiwanese users uses phonetics characters Algolia can't understand this language leading to no search results.
It doesn't let you test based on the geo location of hypothetical user. Our search is optimized for geo location. So a user in China enters "University" then "University of china" would appear instead of "university of england" where I am based. It would be great if we can enter the hypothetical geo location

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't have to build our own search engine. The service is affordable and the performance is good enough for our users.
We currently have no research result of 3% this use to be 7% . There Analytics reports provided by Algolia helped me minimize no search outcomes.
