Algolia for class collection and standard pagination

  • November 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is an extremely fast tool that can manage styles pretty well by using a scoring productive formula that's very easy to adjust. If our customers misspelled a query, it lets us handled these misspelled questions and work with HTML customer search orders by Javascript. Also, Algolia embraces web-based services, which improve the accessibility of Windows Phone devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia lacks of instructional videos, something necessary as it's a bit complicated, especially with the arrangement of the records and the increase of specialized features. Also, the latest price increases have made Algolia much more costly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia is the question tool we use for our iOS software and our future web app. Algolia is used every day by every individual within our Marketing department and for each of our customers. It is especially useful for class collection and standard pagination we are using to get an instant response. This solves certain important search optimization questions that are normally addressed by complex algorithms. It makes marketing simple without design interference to adjust search terms when it's appropriate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The system from Algolia is incredibly powerful as it supplies users with immediate search engine results at break-neck levels. It's incredibly useful when information is necessary at your disposal in a high-speed setting. However, Algolia can be somewhat hard to implement and run without all the support of a third party, especially for smaller businesses or organizations without many IT assets.

Amazingly fast searching that requires some configuration to get the best from it

  • November 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What impressed me most is how simple it is to get up and running with Algolia. This was made easier as I was using Laravel Scout that did a lot of the integration with me.

Algolia’s interface is simple to use and the documentation is clear. They also have some super components already build for major JavaScript libraries.

And of course the speed - it’s so fast to search with!
What do you dislike about the product?
By default the JavaScript components will run a search on load, this caused every page view to hit their API. We were not aware of this behaviour and quickly hit our plan quota. It wasn’t hard to fix but did catch us out.

We had to double up our set up - once for staging and once for live. This was a little but fiddly and meant we had to be careful with any changes we made and ensure they were replicated. I do think we can store this in a configuration file and import this into various instances using their API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It offers a powerful search with minimal set up, but can be highly configured with ease. There are many options to enhance the search and tailor it to your needs such as typo correction and custom synonyms helping drive search results in the correct direction.

The stats and analytics provide further insight into how people are using the search / your website and allow more tailoring and focus to be applied based on what users want / expect to find.

The UI demos were very helpful in testing changes to the settings quickly. We could make changes then trying them with real data directly within Algolia, no need to edit any code our end.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use their free trial to extensively test and if you have your search on every page don’t get caught by the API request that gets fired.

I really like Algolia, it is a search engine that gives you results in an incredible way and shows you the possible products you are looking for, according to the configurations you make and thus be able to offer the best user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing bad to add from this tool, but taking into account other programs I think its price is very high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is suitable for searching products in an e-commerce, at high speed, just by adding the product information you want, with Algolia we get immediate information about what we are looking for, easily and simply.
We really loved how fast the search for Algolia is loaded.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Users can have a better search experience, you can find the products you want quickly, without much effort, which generates more revenue, commitment and retention.
Algolia is fantastic for the business, that's why I recommend it, you won't regret it.

Get answers in a few nanoseconds

  • November 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is pretty simple to set up as no work is required from our end and it provides some pretty good search terms. In almost all cases, very little modification is required in Algolia to work with the quest and output monitor. It has great functions and handles incorrect requests, which are the major reasons we have selected this service instead of using another one.
What do you dislike about the product?
A greater degree of personalization is necessary in Algolia. When it comes to pricing, this is a very costly option in comparison to other tools. I know company plans are always evolving, but my project nearly doubled overnight in cost. Instead of independently evaluating every factor, the rating is limited to priority factors. Also, Algolia does not support iOS or Android.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our search features can be found through Algolia on our app or toolbar across the web. Algolia helped us to give our customers only the answers they searched for in a few nanoseconds as the search rate was a glaring problem and is one of the main weaknesses on our website. Algolia is also used for our quest for auto feedback and feedback.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is suitable for platforms like e-commerce, where the buyers have a great variety of products, but it may also be beneficial for browsing and information bases. If you've got a committed developer with the technical expertise to delve deeply into the documents of Algolia, then you will get the best out of it.

Efficiency and speed

  • November 19, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia has good tech assistance, lots of documentation and plugins of excellent quality. Network channels and several data centers have been installed in our business to make Algolia even more power. It is difficult to believe that it operates so quickly even when it's working with large amounts of data on a web server. Also, the authentication and set up process is pretty simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
In Algolia, it can be challenging to customize the reaction packages and to send requests. The first time I've tried to adjust an index I was a bit frustrated as Algolia's characteristics took way too much time to load. But the main obstacle with Algolia is to develop the look of the UI, which I think should be improved soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Algolia in our company to scan all our customers. In our quest for various types of information, we used the efficiency and speed provided by Algolia to significantly improve the customer experience of our page. It allows users to scan for other applications and also predefined position filters we developed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is ideal for teams with no architectural understanding to develop their own browse solutions, as it concentrates on API and SSL Hardware encryption. Also, it is well adapted for the absence of quest network management and for the advantage of your productivity in expending your operational cycles. Algolia can optimize its quality while keeping your budget thorough understanding of documents and frameworks.

As powerful as your data

  • October 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is really powerful and has made site search far easier, since using Algolia we are have been able to implement very fast on site filters that work with extremely high accuracy.

Within the algolia platform you are able to configure the site to your customer behaviour, for example if you are seeing customers misspelling a word you are able to implement a tolerance to make sure they still see the results they are looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia uses indexes to call all of your data from, which makes algolia very quick but this mean that it's only ever as good as you make it.
If you don't already have a good structure then you will need to have a very big clean out and restructure which is time consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primary use has been on site filters for product listings and on site searching.

Since implementing Algoia we are now able to return relevant product results to our customers, now customers can find exactly what they are looking for, conversion is higher

Awesome and easy to use api

  • October 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use API, with Algolia we are able to delegate all our resources to be indexed, which makes the performance of our application faster. This not only provides for developer experience but also the overall user experience of our end users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, till now I am yet to run into something I don't enjoy with the Algolia API. The basic/free trial limits could be extended though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building a fashion marketplace for emerging brands in Ghana, We were looking for a scalable and easy to use solution to provide a much more robust search for better user experience. Algolia checks all our boxes by providing an API very friendly for our engineers and also the performance of our product.

Remarkable experience with some issues in the learning process

  • October 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software fulfill all the requirements for web searching purposes, has an optimal use of digital resources who helps a lot in the performance during the use of the software in the computer. The results for the searching process were outstanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'll prefer a cleaner user interface, the current one is useful but it can be more friendly with the end-user. Also the learning curve for the software it's quite rude, it can be easier to use with a friendly interface and tutorials or hints. Also the cost/benefit it's quite low due the prices for the service
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Algolia search engine app to provide search solutions to our clients in real estate market, increase the amount of properties in our clients radar range
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. If you are looking for an advance web search tool, this product can ease your efforts and will fulfill your requirements.

Taking into account the cost/benefit related with this product, we think this is a good investment for any research project (which is the one we did) but also requires a high budget for implementation.

Algolia allows us to work fast and clean.

  • October 22, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using algolia for our internal pilot admin. It allows us to search quickly between clients and partners and make effective actions thanks to the search algolia is powering.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that Algolia doesn't support old frameworks, like angularJS, the one we are using. We still have legacy javascript available, but still, it's not the same :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved our filtering problems on our clients and partners. It was somehow slow when we developed it in-house, but using Algolia, it made our life easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia can help you build fast search using any tools or technology. It could be for e-commerce or maybe something else. But Algolia is definitely one of the best if not the best solution for quick search and filtering through millions of results.
