Simple to implement and as fast as advertised
What do you like best about the product?
It has a good developer experience and performs well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The client-side library size can be cumbersome for smaller apps. This can be circumvented by using server-side scripting, but it would nice to have an even lighter-weight library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Algolia for a conference and want to provide instant search through all the events for our users.

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.
Awesome search engine solution but a bit pricey
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to integrate with Algolia. The documentation and the libraries are excellent, and tweaking the search rules to handle typos and ranking can be quickly done from their website. The search speed is better than with Elasticsearch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia changed its pricing around two years ago, and the new pricing is more expensive for our job portal because we have a lot of GET requests and few POST requests and records. We have planned to mitigate this by adding caching with Redis so that retrieving a single object will be done with Redis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a job portal, and search speed and accuracy are essential for us. Using Algolia saved us development time compared to building an Elasticsearch cluster, and the "search as you type" feature was a nice bonus.
Best full text search service
What do you like best about the product?
The latency allows us to not worry about optimization and allows us to build actual applications, this was evident when we went from our custom solution which was very bulky and complex, hard to maintain, to algolia and the results were clearly in favor of algolia
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can at times be daunting, especially in the beginning, maybe a product tour would help.
Also would love to get tips and tricks, maybe a newsletter would be nice to have

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to make a property search with geolocations, initially solved with postgis and Postgres, soon turned to be very complicated and slow
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Full text search? Geolocation search? Algolia is the answer
Extremely powerful, but pricey at scale
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is extremely easy to set up, manage and configure.
Excellent documentation and plenty of SDK tools to help in development.
It also has a generous free tier for hobby projects and similar

What do you dislike about the product?
It gets very pricey at scale (when you either have lots of traffic (more unlikely) or need to index a lot of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am getting a highly tailored and fast search that matches much better than other options I have tried.
Search UI also helps me by me not needing to write much JS to implement Algolia.

Algolia makes it easy to include modern search on your static site
What do you like best about the product?
Incorporating algolia into my netlify site, while not as straightforward as it can be, was not too difficult. The developers are responsive on github issues.
Algolia improved search functionality on my site: instant search, has option to take users to relevant section.

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: instant search with few work and best results
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard is very easy to use in all its functionalities. There is a complete set of function to manage every aspect without writing a single line of code.
You need to do things programmatically? Algolia offers easy to use libraries written in many languages (javascript, php, java, etc...) to have full control of every aspect of index/crawler configuration / interrogation.
Also everything is well documented in their docs.
You need any help? Support team replies fast and with accuracy.
How service works? They accomplish their promises: index queries resolves very fast in every scenario, even with thousands of objects in a single index. Your customer will have a very instant search experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Crawler part is a little bit a black box, even if configuration is well explained. You cannot make ajax calls in it's execution (even if, to be honest, it is not recommended at all).
There is no xls/csv export of crawler logs and so they are not so easy to analyze through the dashboard.
Query suggestion part maybe is lacking of some custom configurations and docs are not so clear as other functionalities.

Provide an ecommerce with a instant search user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read theirs docs.
Avoid crawler part if not needed. Use their API in server-side to update your indexes.
Having 1 index per country/language will easy query suggestion part.

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.

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!
