Using Algolia for search throughout our system

  • April 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use. it took us no time to integrate our entities to algolia and use the api for search everywhere we needed to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't point at anything that we don't like with the system.
one small thing is that you can't dispose a search while it's running (client side)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed and rich solution for search, doing it ourselves would have taken much more time with reduced functionality

Working as expected: incredibly easy integration, relevant results, quick searches.

What do you like best about the product?
The amount of work that goes into maintaining and publishing Developer-focus documentation is great. Integrating was super simple because of how well they know how to speak to technical people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maintaining configuration sync amongst indices is not easy. I have many indices that all need to work in the same way (prioritization, synonyms, etc), and they each need to be configured and updated individually. Having common index configuration that can be shared is something that you can only do programatically, but this means you can no longer use the web interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ecomm search in a luxury retail startup was not our first concern. We spend time on curating vintage products, photography, and focusing on brick-and-mortar stores. Sync'ing our product catalog up with Algolia and implementing their front-end JS helper meant we got up and running with instant search across our entire catalog in a matter of hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the Free Trial, you have nothing to lose. You can probably get an MVP up and running in a matter of hours.

Extremely simple integration for unimaginable features

  • April 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Typo tolerance
Blazing fast http calls answers (faster than our very own api)
Very simple integration
What do you dislike about the product?
Can become a bit expensive when too many records or to many querries (important to build the index not too often, batch calls//)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instant search for entry point features (quick find document to edit it, quick find user to invite him to a team..)
Instant search plugged to our Zendesk FAQ inside our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before creating your own search and invest dev time to re-invent the wheel (index, typo, mobile, cluster, facetting...) give at least a try to free version

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing plans can be tough when moving between tiers.

Algolia provides search for our website and allows us to quickly provide a great experience. Other search providers can't match the Algolia experience.

Works fast and right

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is that it gives our students and other clients the most accurate version of the results basically immediately! It has an amazing search platform which helps our students learn more about all the details of different courses offered. The settings are well customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is more focused on the developer side, which I personally am not complaining about; just putting it out there. For that, it does not really have much of the documentation features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have seen great progress in the number of students using it, and it has made the search and management process for a lot of students. It is very easy to set up and link your accounts with as well! We have greatly enjoyed using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would absolutely recommend using this for managing your works, and for processing huge chunks of data quickly. It continues to improve when it comes to progress, and is very easy to use.

Amazing searching service

  • April 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We wanted to change the search experience of our users which was a success thanks to the API of Algolia, very easy to integrate. In contrast to the traditional approaches of question answering, we opted for Algolia which makes the research interactive and intuitive by proposing relevant results in the course of seizure. The good points also notable are the support for several languages, the ability to establish a geolocation searches,the typo tolerance, the synonym support ... The dashboard is very modern, like the brand, and offers a fairly thorough analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Indexing can be complicated to set up without the help of support.
The price that can very quickly go up if one exceeds the subscription of departure.
The main problem we encounter is the documentation, it is incomplete, it would be better to focus on documentation rather than adaptation in terms of language .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia has allowed us to index for each user their respective data so they can get fast results from what they are looking for. The addition of filters also allowed the customization of the pages of our website, thus reinforcing the quick search.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are still not sure how to implement Algolia in your website or application, do not wait any longer and go for it, a 14-day trial version is available on their site to fully test Algolia and take good care of it. indexing and setting up the relevant search. On top of that, Algolia has thought of all while instilling a tutorial allowing the implementation of this one in your website.

What do you like best about the product?
It's very fast and reliable. I love that their product is very simple with a very transparent pricing structure. It is easy to tune and is has friendly APIs and SDKs. Also works great on different platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is a transparent pricing structure, it can be pretty expensive. it does not support too many advanced abilities either. However, I absolutely do love using it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have found its platform building tools very easy to use especially for developers. It has great customization features and that greatly helps the advisers on the board to be able to manage accounts and make class registration platform easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend educational management fields along with corporate fields to have this in their work environments for platform development and management.

Good search tool that is very fast.

  • March 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Admin tool is well equipped and highly functional. It's fairly easy to use and understand quickly. It is easy to debug inside the admin tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some API documentation and react instant search documentation is a bit lacking. Particularly with connectors for react instant search, you have to read the github repo code to understand how to really implement it. Pricing has increased a lot since we first used it. We are lucky to be on a legacy plan but if we ever need to update it, as a startup company, we are unlikely to be able to afford the same level of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a fast search tool for catalogue of products. Great for customizing your own catalogue page but at the same time utilizing their search capabilities with filters.

Good Search tool for the price, but poor service

  • March 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The search function is quick, not the fastest, but quick enough.
The reporting is ok, but tough to drill down to specifics like other search vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting needs help. Requires support to dig in deeper.
Support is difficult and slow to make contact. Submitted support ticket and didn't receive response for 3 business days.
Company started double billing us for 5 months and when asked to stop double billing and credit our account, they did not respond after several attempts. Had to get credit card company involved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content search that isn't avaiable with OOTB MAGE.
