An easy to use, amazing product

  • April 07, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and add information. The platform is very intuitive and searches are lightning fast. The documentation is pretty easy to follow and is very extensive. They offer tiers which offer easy entry for any size of a business.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the documentation could be easier to navigate. Other than that I couldn't be happier using Algolia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small project Algolia has enabled me to setup searching within my app with minimal effort. The response is super quick and the customization/configuration that it allow is a big plus.

Best search as a service solution for Laravel

  • April 03, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia can help my services to find the data faster than in a second, even if it's written wrong.
Good documentation and nice Laravel/Vue.js plugins out of the box — means very simple and straightforward integration with almost any product.
You can integrate their search less than one hour!
What do you dislike about the product?
Only problem I found was in the Hebrew (and probably Arabic) language search. Also pricing could be too big than self managing a elastic search for big projects. But for small projects would be enough even free tier!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used algolia in my customers’ web-sites: multilingual search, multiple entity search, full-text search for products and categories for ecommerce, and even show products by category and filters directly from their API without my backend. It was easy to integrate, fast
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No doubt, it could save a lot of hours

I wrote some documentation for a personal open source projet. Thanks to algolia users can now easily find the documentation they need

A great search engine that requires minimal setup

  • April 03, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great search engine that requires minimal setup to get going.
I found the ReactJS sdk easy to use and enabled me to have a poc ready in 1h.
They have a comprehensive rest api that allowed us to easily ingest new data.
The response time of under 200ms was one of the factors that helped improve our conversion rates
What do you dislike about the product?
the need to create separate indexes to be able to do sorting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
algolia enabled me to to create a fast product grid with blazing fast filters and search.
As you type search with misspells helped our customers in the region as most people in dubai are expats and their first language is not english.
Managed to considerably improve our pages load time which helped improve our conversion rates
Recommendations to others considering the product:
give their free trial a chance. You’ll soon realise it was the right choice

Algolia has completely enhanced the search experience for our users.

  • April 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia was easy to integrate, and their platform makes it easy to customize the search experience based on our product and customer needs. We had originally built our own search experience but found that transitioning over to Algolia gave us the ability to constantly be delivering an excellent experience to users without needing to maintain the search technology on our own.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a business owner, I haven't run into any downsides yet but admittedly the engineers on my team would be more prepared to comment on any details of the integration or maintenance process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are allowing media buyers to discover and browse their purchase options much faster.

As a frontend dev, Algolia is an absolute delight to work with.

  • April 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Having a predefined library of frontend components was key to choosing Algolia for our main search functionality. Having example components to work from or extend for my use was incredibly helpful for building a search interface fast. We managed to build a series of pages without Algolia... and the day before launch we decided to add instant search. We were able to integrate + launch it within a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping real time data in sync is quite difficult/expensive with Algolia as a solution. Where we have a large list of items in our Algolia, they also have data points that update in near real time. The combination of needing to update data in algolia, and constantly refresh the algolia cache in browser results in either high costs, or out of sync data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia has been fantastic for using real time fuzzy search across a broad spectrum of data. Combinging 3-4 data sets that we display as separate pages into one search result is a breeze.

Being able to take the same complex data set, and provide predefined sorting options has added a lot of functionality to our product rapidly. Without the need for backend to create custom endpoints for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is incredible for creating real time search interfaces, but difficult to work with real time data updates. If you're sending updates in mass, it will be difficult to keep users already browsing the site in sync.

We opted to delay some of our updates to algolia, and use web sockets to update users browsing the site just in case to combat this.

Fast and Easy to Implement

  • April 01, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The speed at which search results are returned.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get expensive if you have a large number of records, regardless of the search volume.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary goal was enabling a search experience where the customer could search for products using natural language queries and one that could handle typos. Algolia allowed us to implement this without having to hire out for that expertise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep the amount of data you store for each record as small as possible -- limiting it to only what will be searched on and displayed. To minimize costs, avoid using multiple indexes like you would multiple tables in a database. A search that uses 2 indexes will use 2 operations for every keystroke (for typeahead search).
