Super awesome and simple search for documentation

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it was to integrate into our companies documentation site. Also being able to see the most searched works and which search results don't land any results is very helpful for updating our documentation site in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
It did take longer than expected to receive the API key, but when we finally did, we were really happy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None, everything is running great so far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it, Algolia makes search easy and analytical

A great product, easy to integrate, powerful to use

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The easy of integration and the speed of getting the responses. The documentation is also great.

I have added a search feature to my personal blog, which is based on Jekyll. There is a Jekyll package that does all the heavy lifting, and for the parts to customize there is plenty of documentation.

From the creation of the account to be up and running it took me less than one hour.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. Everything was smooth and clean. I can't really say that there are downsides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to add a search feature to my personal blog. I managed to do that in less than one hour, including the time necessary to create the account.

One of the best parts of the Jekyll SDK I have used is that it automatically indexes all the posts in the blog, so I don't have to add anything. It integrated wonderfully with github, so it was really zero effort (and zero cost!) to have it up and running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give a try. It is very easy to use and it is clear that Algolia team took a lot of effort to deliver a great experience.

One of the blazing fast Search Provider Platform

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The speed at which a search operation executes, along with all the linked aspects that broadens the concept of universal unified search in order to provide great User Experience! The product's landing page is one of the best I have seen to date since it clearly explains the search powers when clicked on the search bar on the homepage to get on the demo search portal in order to get hands-on experience with it. Simply put, Algolia is one of the best search experience providers that totally builds on and aims to provides one of the best user experiences out there when it come to search platforms/ tools or APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess they should also have a WordPress plugin since WP is one of the most widely used CMS platforms. Adding a plugin to Wordpress library will help Algolia and most global users to expand the search experience using Algolia for any one's platform/ website or their product. Also, the product should provide an in-built search bar generator tool that can then be embedded on to any website at any section of the page which will be very helpful for non-coder or new users who aren't very friendly with the development environment. WYSIWYG editor or search bar generator and styling tool can help a lot in integrating to small scale static websites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personalized search experiences that converts, and provides unique experiences to drive engagement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A fantastic search experience everyone must try at least once.

Algolia has added speed and ease of use to our documentation

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It was very quick and easy to install Algolia, and now our end users can quickly search our documentation to find the answers they seek. Praise has been expressions like "Algolia is incredible!", so we're very happy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately the open-source account doesn't always link things up correctly in Algolia's dashboard, which makes it slightly difficult to research specifics.
I wish we could purge data before our official release date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We added search to end-user documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try! We're happy with the choice we made.

Easy to Use Search SaaS

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the easiest way to add search functionalities to your software, without having to worry about managing Solr or ES clusters. Their API is really well documented and easy to use. Pricing model is also easy and you should not have problems calculating how much you will end up paying. Other advantage is the low and consistent latency to all end users, with servers on every major continent, no user will have a bad experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a lot more expensive than self managing a elastic search or other search software cluster by yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for searching pages on a blog, the main benefit is, as I mentioned, the ease of using the API, without having to worry about anything else. We also save a lot of time by not having to manage anything related to search.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check if using their SaaS is worth it in the end considering their pricing model.

Wonderful to use

  • March 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity of this product and the way it uses recommended design patterns underneath the hood. Plus the control you have on your dashboard is simply amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some issues with error handling. I think it can be done without the developer having to write extra code for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I just wanted to give my users a better search experience. No ones wants to search something and not get data back simply because of a single typo.

Awesome and easy to use api

  • October 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use API, with Algolia we are able to delegate all our resources to be indexed, which makes the performance of our application faster. This not only provides for developer experience but also the overall user experience of our end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, till now I am yet to run into something I don't enjoy with the Algolia API. The basic/free trial limits could be extended though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building a fashion marketplace for emerging brands in Ghana, We were looking for a scalable and easy to use solution to provide a much more robust search for better user experience. Algolia checks all our boxes by providing an API very friendly for our engineers and also the performance of our product.

Algolia allows us to work fast and clean.

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using algolia for our internal pilot admin. It allows us to search quickly between clients and partners and make effective actions thanks to the search algolia is powering.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that Algolia doesn't support old frameworks, like angularJS, the one we are using. We still have legacy javascript available, but still, it's not the same :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved our filtering problems on our clients and partners. It was somehow slow when we developed it in-house, but using Algolia, it made our life easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia can help you build fast search using any tools or technology. It could be for e-commerce or maybe something else. But Algolia is definitely one of the best if not the best solution for quick search and filtering through millions of results.

Fast and intuitive search

  • October 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The search is so fast and is able to return results as you type. The experience that I can create with Algolia is leagues above other search providers and super easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure is a bit confusing at first. When you ask for help it puts you into one of their sales funnels
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowed us to greatly improve our blog search functionality and performance. We can now also send URLs which preload the filters we've selected. This is great for our marketing team!
