Get 100% involved with the details and functions of Algolia ... try it.
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of details that allow me to configure the search filter amazes me. The documentation is extensive and precise at the same time, it has very relevant details such as those of the configuration that help me to have a better search system. Algolia is what I was looking for, I can reach my goals in just a few months after implementing it, we are in constant communication with the technical service and I can say that they respond in a short time and with solutions, this is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
My doubts with Algolia were due to the price, I had a negative opinion regarding the price and with the short free trial of only 14 days. The 14-day test is too short to determine the most relevant functions with a lot of criteria, we take many risks and this is a disadvantage. Although I think we made a good decision, it is necessary that the free trial be much longer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the lack of interest of users in our company by implementing this advanced search system, they are much more involved with the company and this increases revenue, it is the main thing. Algolia adds faster and faster functions, this is fantastic for companies that wish to continue updating their platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will have many doubts with the 14-day test, of course it is very short, for this reason you should read the documentation and be always constant communication with the support so that they solve all the difficulties that are within your reach, it will not to be an easy path, but in the same way you have to travel to be able to implement this innovative solution to advanced search problems.
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.
Don't build your own search until you've outgrown Algolia
What do you like best about the product?
Up and running with advanced search capabilities in minutes. Hook up your data model, plug in the JavaScript widget and your users get a great search experience. It is very fast from anywhere in the world and the flexible customisation features allow for advanced and nearly bespoke search solutions. You should try Algolia before you try to build your own search.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Some of the terminology used when you get into customising the experience can take awhile to make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing our users to search and find meaning in large datasets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it before you build your own search.
Search happiness
What do you like best about the product?
The developer tools and easy integration w Heroku allowed us the ability to launch quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial testing plans were I believe a little pricey but I believe they have new plans now that accommodate for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searching through ecommerce products can be intense and finding the best related product helps us generate revenue quickly.
Could not have started our startup without Algolia
What do you like best about the product?
Simply put, it saved us a heap of development time and budget. We could focus on other components knowing the search was sorted.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customizing it to run some api operations requires some skills; still working out how we can do that better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to get to market quickly and it saved us development time and money.
Just works... and fast
What do you like best about the product?
Setup & configuration was accomplished in an afternoon
You get instant feedback / results
No need to hire resources & spend time on infra to support lighting quick searches
The extra analytics about what was searched on is also great

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.
Best vendor experience we've had in a long time.
What do you like best about the product?
Vendor relationships always tend to promise more than they deliver. This is one of the first one that has delivered as much (or more!) than was promised. I'm amazed at the performance of the Algolia system. Blazing fast, accurate, relevant, immediately updated, elegant, easy to implement, a breeze to customize. It really couldn't be much better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. There were a few small gaps in the documentation, but that has been the extent so far of anything negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The motivator for switching to Algolia was the expiration of our Google Search Appliance. However, now that we've switched, I'm wishing we'd made the jump a lot sooner. What a great platform! Our users are experiencing DRAMATIC improvements in search speed and relevance, and we're looking at all sorts of ways to leverage Algolia for other business needs, from personalization to content categorization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! You'll love it.
Very easy to start and implement
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy of use. We (2 developers) had no experience with search indexes before, but got up and running in 2 hours, backend and frontend.
- Performance. We still have few users, but searching 15k records takes 4ms on average. 40ms max.
- Pricing is OK. Other search platforms like Elastic Search will cost you less per number of records indexed, but you have to manage more stuff by yourself to keep everything in good shape.

What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation lack some real world examples and best practices, like how to keep a Postgres DB in sync with Algolia.
Free as starter tiers have low records limit (10k and 50k).
We have a few concerns about securing data. Some real case scenarios in the Docs would also help us. Like, what are the guidelines to implement Algolia to index sensitive information?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a SaaS and Algolia is currently being used for searching people records. Performance is great.
We intend to use it in more places in the future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a good search and don't have the time or expertise to try Elastic Search, give Algolia a try. It's a lot better than alternatives like SQL search and very easy to implement.
