That is some powerful search

  • September 01, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is amazingly simple for devs to implement. We roll it out to nearly all the websites we build. Once deployed we never have to worry about search. It's crazy fast, crazy accurate and a real pleasure to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia needs to work a bit on their customer support. They can somewhat a bit slow or hard to reach. But luckily when they solve your issue, they do it right. Also they use to have a great WP plugin but they discontinued it. It was a great solution but they favor dev's to build their own solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use to roll out solutions like Apache Solr for search and while it is powerful, it requires so much work to put in place and customize to your needs. Now we can roll out powerful search in 1/10th of the time it use to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want something powerful and fast without the complication of lengthy research to find the right product then look at Algolia. Remember the saying "nobody gets fired for buying IBM"? Same should go for picking Algolia for product search.

Ideal web search platform

  • August 31, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is what I was looking for, it provides some pretty good search experience terms. I like that it is very easy to use and add information, the interface is easy to use, and the documentation is clear. It represents a major advance over the original search tool, it is hosted, flexible, and scales very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few details present, it is a good tool. The cost is a bit high, plus there are customization issues without development help. Size limitations are a big problem and splitting larger objects into a single entity seems like something that should be managed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This great tool that helps to improve the search capabilities of your website. Easy to use, easy to customize and with excellent support, the advantage of using algolia is that my website users can enjoy a quick search, we use search as the main navigation on our agency's landing page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We use it to search for products and users, with an incredible response, searches are fast and that makes people who use it happy.

With Algolia we can highlight in this regard that very little infrastructure is needed to exercise the software in its most splendid totality, which is useful from smaller companies to those with greater economic development, as well as in productivity, which are the Larger, this software can be used directly from the client or from different services, in other outstanding aspects, it should be noted that it is very reliable, since it takes very little time for inactivity, including that the responses are totally fast and good.

The api that contains this design, based on searches, is somewhat confusing, in some aspects that are relevant to the software, mentioning that the user interface does not do a good job according to, to help you define your most prevalent queries to the system, which is not an effective tool to resolve doubts, this is when we go to the support that Algolia contains on its main page, previously highlighting that the system is expensive.

Algolia is a very important resource for us, for which we use it in the vast majority of the entire organization, more than all in the departments that are based on development, they use it as an API to search for different entities of some system in particular, including that we also use it to promote the search of all our users, in the fundamental platform that we have at our disposal, taking advantage of the speed and efficiency that this system offers, highlighting that it greatly improves the experience of the operators of our website.

Don't build your own search and use Algolia instead

  • July 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia has been a great alternative to building our own search solution. It has taken care of everything we need in a search tool and it is well documented and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very expensive, especially if you need search for all your non production environments (qa, staging). You end up building your own search or disabling search to avoid going over your limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem was having a fast and easy search functionality without having to maintain it all the time. We've realized that more functionality like search can be delegated to a third party service.

Very nice documentation, easy to integrate

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of integration and nicely organized documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't find a resource to maybe design it by myself, but not necessarily a bad thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having a dedicated endpoint and logic for searching our docs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need easy to integrate solution for making your docs searchable, algolia is the thing.

Easy to get started quickly

  • April 07, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy integration with existing Firebase app. The documentation was very easy to read and fortunately, there were good stack overflow answers that helped with fine details integrating the app with our backend . The docs are a great way to explore some features of Algolia search. Of course, the app's speed was far superior to the search feature in Firebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the API is difficult to use with Java applications. It's easier to use the project if you use Node or Javascript. I would prefer having more documentation and user support/examples for Java programs. Also, it was difficult to tell whether the app's speed was only because of the relatively small datasets we used for our app's prototypes. If there was an easier way to measure the metric and intelligently improve our overall speed, that would help as we scale up our user-base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making our app's search functionality faster. We were able to add a fine grained search capability to the app easily with Algolia. We had to use more Node to implement full integration with our app and this ended up making our development easier.

Algolia Search is a Game Changer

  • April 07, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the speed of search, especially the ability to run performant queries on each keystroke. This is the type of feature you expect when you use a search service like Google, so delivering a similar, intuitive experience to users is a major boost to a website's User Experience.

I first discovered Algolia via the GatsbyJS ecosystem and React documentation websites, so I was pleased to discover that there are well documented / widely adopted plugins available for easy integration with my existing projects.

It's also extremely easy to create a search index both at build time in the project's code or through the Algolia dashboard. I used to struggle with this process when I tried other local search solutions. Algolia is every developer's dream for interactive site search.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the documentation for React in particular to be very challenging. I think the team at Algolia could do a better job explaining each component and showing relevant examples. It took me much longer than it should have to troubleshoot basic API challenges.

I have also experienced problems with the API querying more times than my search component renders. It would be great if Algolia offered more insight on optimizing usage to prevent behavior like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Algolia to index a medium sized content website so users can pinpoint the exact page or content they are looking for. I have found that performant, easy-to-use search really changes the way users approach an application. I currently run it on a website that will soon become 22 additional websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that users try to roll out Algolia search for a trial period to determine how much search volume they receive. This would help users project their budgets.

Great service!

What do you like best about the product?
How easy it was to integrate to our docs. Docusaurus supports algolia and many other services support algolia out of the box for indexing. It's also free so it saved a lot of time for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
For free there wasn't a way to make algolia work offline out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It made finding the right docs much easier and improved our use of development docs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to integrate and get setup with, it makes getting indices up and running much quicker.
