Algolia is fast and it works!
What do you like best about the product?
Search results are incredibly fast. Setup was fairly straight forward and didn't take very long. The re-indexing speed is also very good. Pricing is fair, overall its a pretty damn impressive service and I'm looking forward to implementing it on other projects in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with anything new there's terminology which can be a little bit confusing at first. The documentation took a few reads until the information and processes stuck with me. Other than that there's nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast e-commerce product search with rich data results.
Algolia is the end-all be-all for search
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia gives me a far better search product than one I could engineer myself, and I had it up and running in a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
The terminology they use in the dashboard can be confusing at first. Luckily, I spend very little time in the dashboard, so it isn't a major issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Algolia for product and user searches on our app and website, as well as for several internal tools. It's great for pretty much any search use-case that I've encountered so far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering building your own custom in-house search solution, don't even bother unless you're enterprise scale. Even then, you should weigh the pros and cons of having an internal team build and maintain a project. Algolia is so easy, I will be hard-pressed to ever walk away from it, even if it starts costing a lot of money.
Needed a search fro static Jekyll site
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is easy to set up and customize for your individual needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was a little disappointed that they are no longer supporting the Jekyll plugin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to build a search that displays results from our marketing site, blog, and documentation site.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bring back the Jekyll plugin!
There are endless possibilities of integrations, there are no limits with Algolia for integration.
What do you like best about the product?
Java, JavaScript, Ktlin and Zendesk are just some of the solutions with which I have an excellent integration with Algolia, there are many more integration options that I am currently working with and I can continue adding many more integrations without problems, I just need to send a message to the support of Algolia and they kindly provide me with the tools to integrate them. By requesting support help I can complete the most complex tasks in just a few minutes or depending on the complexity of the integration in a few hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
They must add many more customization features and they must modernize their platform, sometimes I dislike their outdated look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The positive since we started using Algolia in the company are summarized in two things, the search patterns and the customer experience. It is very simple when the client is satisfied, all the members of my team are also satisfied, Algolia allows us to improve and automate our search engine in a few days.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The configurations of integrations can be a bit complex if you do not have the necessary experience, for this reason I recommend you to configure the integrations with the help of Algolia support so that you can achieve the work in a relatively short time, I have to repeat it, not make your own, ask for help. Algolia allows you to improve and having algolia is what I love most.
Our clients use it and find what they are looking for because everything is centralized.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is very easy to use and add information, in addition the platform is very intuitive and the searches are very fast. The technical support service responds to us very quickly and resolves problems immediately, the truth is very responsible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia developers thought of everything, because so far we have not seen errors. They may exist, but we are very happy with this software and we would like it to continue that way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that we are better known every day, because our reputation increases as we enter new products and our customers find their specifications without many complications, because the search engine is very fast and the interface builds confidence, I think it is perfectly made for the user .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have doubts, you should only use the free trial version and the doubts will dissipate, because the integration of our products with our clientele is excellent and I can assure you that after using it, you will want to buy a full service package.

Could not have started our startup without Algolia

Simply put, it saved us a heap of development time and budget. We could focus on other components knowing the search was sorted.

Customizing it to run some api operations requires some skills; still working out how we can do that better.

We had to get to market quickly and it saved us development time and money.

Setup & configuration was accomplished in an afternoon
You get instant feedback / results

What do you dislike about the product?
It requires some thought and/or additional dev work to work around how the pricing model is defined in operations (i.e. when we need to refresh the index data).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia makes it dead-simple, quick and fun for our users to perform the mundane task of searching across the hundreds of thousands of athletes so that they can then get to the juicy part of checking out their race-performance analytics!
Best managed search service we've found
What do you like best about the product?
Performance! It's where Algolia shines, they can deliver p99 < 10ms response times, the search experience feels instant, making a huge difference for our customers.
They have many available SDKs for all sorts of clients which makes it very easy to integrate with web and mobile apps.
Another great feature is the geo-replication where you can deploy your data to more datacenters and make the search faster all over the world, be aware that this cost extra though.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. For an early stage and growing startup it can be challenging to pay their price. We have to constantly purge old records and optimize our systems to decrease the number of operations which causes some extra development overhead for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Algolia to power all of our search: from sports events calendar to digital asset management. With Algolia our customers can have a centralized view of their assets and it becomes searchable instantly, streamlining their content distribution.
Powerful, simple to setup, and lightning fast
What do you like best about the product?
I have used various search systems including Sphinx, Solr, direct DB integrations etc. but nothing has been as robust and performant as Algolia. It just works very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time we have nothing to critique as it's perfect for our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A portion of our infrastructure was used for search which we were able to swap out with Algolia.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a trial. Mess around with the core features and write a bit of code to see what this can do for you.
