    Computer Software

Fast, customizable and rich yet simple

  • July 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is undoubtedly blazing fast and allows for fine-tuning and many customizations.
Getting started is simple, and thanks to their well-written documentation, the learning curve is relatively shallow.
We also appreciated their "Inside the Algolia Engine" engineering blog series, which helped me grasp some more information about how they can do what they do and why some limitations exist.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had an hard time working around the records length limitation.
We do understand and share the opionion of Algolia engineers that indexing very long documents would worsen the relevance at search time.
However, some use cases require them and we think users should be allowed - at their own risk and cost - to index long documents.
For example, we found faceted search very limited when documents are splitted, and this prevented us from implementing few requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are implementing instant search on a newspaper-like service.
Algolia helped us creating a great user experience, mainly thanks to its Vue components.
Our most important requirements were typo tolerance and faceted search.
Typo tolerance is excellent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We found Algolia to be best suited to specialized search domains.
Take your time figuring out how to best structure records.
Algolia is very powerful and customizable. However, faceting is still a bit immature in our opinion, so it's not suited for too complex search requirements.

Quick, out-of-the-box search and easy API integration for WordPress

  • July 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm using Algolia to index my blog post (both Hebrew and English)
I was amazed at how quickly everything word, starting from indexing to on-site integration.
The search results are quick, relevant, and support many types of Typos

Easy to seperate between indices
Analytics and query reports are really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing could be a bit heavy for non-professional users. If you need to cross to the more advanced payments tiers, it could get quite expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
quick search, typo correction, no-code and no-infra solution for search.
Wordpress default search is quite bad and doesn't support any form of modern search.
I wanted a solution with no additional infra costs, and without setting up my own Elasticsearch cluster.
Algolia solved it perfectly.

Best in class tool to optimize site search, on site merchandising and user experience

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can categorize Algolia's strengths in two primary areas:

1. Algolia's engaged account management and product support are above and beyond other players in the space. This is absolutely integral in being able to implement, manage and optimize the use of their platform.
2. Algolia's commitment to ongoing product enhancements and innovation ensure our organization that we are partnered with a company that is positioned to support our continual growth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Your team will need to have an understanding of coding as their platform does not fully support management by the business, digital marketing, or merchandising teams with some level of support from a developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved onsite merchandising and optimization on product listing pages, within site search and menus driving improved KPIs, (CTA, Bounce, CR), and better user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to consider all aspects relating to your on-site merchandising before selecting just any next-generation solution to support your site search. Algolia is exceptionally well set up to not only provide all tools and functionality needed to support and optimize your customer experience, but they are also committed to ensuring that your team is well versed in using their platform to drive performance. Algolia is best in class in this area.

Blazingly fast and easy to use search-engine

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Extremely fast - the results come in with a minimal latency after searching thousands of records. For small projects, this is ideal to use as data storage. The Free tier is very generous.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of data export from UI (although very quickly done via code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seamless integration with existing tools. I can import searchable data from other data sources via simple SDK. I loved that I spent very little time learning the SDK and instead focused on my requirements only. The management UI is fantastic! Everything just works, very smoothly and responsivley.

Algolia is great

  • July 15, 2021

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.

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

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

Magical search with a friendly interface and strong API

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast search results with all the filtering we've ever needed. Faceting allows us to organize our product around the site and then lets users drill down into the products that are relevant to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a moderate amount of development time to integrate database records into Algolia. Building a system to manage changes to the index took us a few attempts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ecommerce faceted search. Excellent developer experience for building new pages. Wonderful experience for our front end users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the docs and ask questions on the forums. Someone somewhere is likely to have already overcome any problems you might find.

The best search system for firestore

  • May 18, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

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.
