More focused search results, faster
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia represents a huge advance compared to our Ecommerce site's original search tool. It delivers much more refined and relevant search results nearly instantaneously, making the shopper's experience much more productive and enjoyable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's so highly technical that I must involve our web developer to implement almost any tweak to search logic, other than some basic stuff I can accomplish on my own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our original site search tool was based on simple word-search, so it would display any product whose description contained the searched word, rendering search results almost useless. In contrast, Algolia returns search results that are way more useful. Our next step will be to index our blog and FAQ pages, in addition to our products, since oftentimes our visitors are searching for help on a topic, not just for a product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to invest time to ensure search results are appropriate and satisfactory.

Product perfectly designed and awesome support team - very reactive and so efficient.

Product is still quite technical to implement, but is very well made.

Easy tool to build search engines

Incredibly fast search with great enterprise options
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly fast search; fantastic developer support and documentation; some really great out of the box options as well
What do you dislike about the product?
Non tech users may have trouble customizing themselves without dev help beyond basic settings if they use a plug and play app (of which there are many for Algolia -- they work great and are well documented, but someone wanting to do a lot of customizations themselves without technical know how may require a developer).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have universal search experiences for our clients that pull in from multiple platforms like Zendesk, Shopify, WordPress, and more and work on both web and native mobile apps. Algolia delivers results insanely fast and makes developing all of these elements out easy and reliable.
Great Site Search technology!

API's are flexible and easy to implement. Service is excellent!

It'd be nice to be able to setup multiple personalization strategies.

Decreasing no result searches and helping customers find products more easily.
Open source prject using Algolia, its decent but limited
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you guys support open source projects for free, very cool. was extrememly easy to integrate to docusaurus build, hence why we started using it. it works pretty good
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that i can only see the top couple of results. We have hundreds of documents and references. Users sometimes need to search google to get what they need out of our website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping users find what documents to read based on keywords
Recommendations to others considering the product:
very easy to set up. limited search functinoality for large project
Best search system out there
What do you like best about the product?
It's hosted, flexible, and scales very well. It's what ElasticSearch should have been. You can throw pretty much whatever data you'd want to at it, and figure out the indexing later. Facets make searching very slick, and the fact that it's hosted means I simply don't need to worry about Indexing.
Anyone who doesn't use Algolia is just living in the past.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can get expensive, but still not as expensive as running OS software on AWS. The only *feature* issues we've had is that it doesn't let you perform cross-index searches. In our specific use-case, we have to duplicate data into multiple indexes because we want customer-specific data (restricted to specific customers of ours) along with our specified data in the same search.
It also requires a separate index for each sort order. That means no ad-hoc sorting (you can't specify to return results in a specific order at search time).

I've used this now for 3 separate production projects across 2 completely different companies. It gives us blazingly fast search and faceting across millions of records. We use this to generate statistics, as well as provide our customers with results based on their specific searches. We have an entire CRM platform build on top of Algolia.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan things out before you start indexing data, it can be expensive and time-consuming to make a lot of indexing changes after you have millions of records in a single Index. Also consider search patterns and usage examples, don't index data that's completely unnecessary. Keep your items as small as possible to keep searching fast.
Remember each index can only have one sort order.
Also remember that you don't want to include API keys in a front-end client directly, instead use the generateSecuredAPIKey function to create expiring tokens from a backend.

Grea tsolution for faceted search
What do you like best about the product?
Granular search results and filtering and the ability to search within a polygon is great for real estate.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most difficult part of getting my algolia workflow setup was creating batch writes for daily updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for real estate searches, where there are many data points to filter. I can take user input and get fast results/
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great solution that is hyper-focused on search
