Algolia Reviews & Product Details

Product suggestions and autocorrect are great

Index are redundant sometimes if you are new to the app and not very tech savy

Product suggestions, auto-complete, and autocorrect functionalities are amazing, most of the issues on websites that I have managed are from the user misspelling, not knowing the name or want some suggestions, this UX is amazing

Algolia is extremely easy to integrate and the search results are surfaced amazingly fast

lack of a "null" search capability, while I understand it, is sort of a bummer

We're trying to search through thousands of records with varying degrees of "completeness". Searches can be on any combination of the attributes of the records in the index. Algolia allows us to perform these sorts of searches and integrate them directly into our platform with very little lift.

Ease of use; incredible visual merchandising tools allow for a ton of flexibility; the speed and site performance is impeccable!

The pricing model is based on search traffic, so it's hard to give an off-the-cuff pricing estimate.

No-code daily operations for headless e-commerce.

It's straightforward to configure and is super customizable. Very feature-rich for a free offering to Open Source projects. The javascript package makes integration easy as well.

From my experience, there is nothing that I dislike.

Providing search capabilities on the Vuetify documentation. Significantly improved user experience.

I like the amount of simple integration allowing me to worry about my application logic without needing to worry about how to integrate complex search. We used an integration with Laravel that was backed by Algolia making a lot of the implementation simple and seamless. We went this route multiple times to build different types of solutions for multiple customers. We did a lot of work with Laravel and it being somewhat first-class supported and Algolia seems to care about making it work well with our framework made it really a perfect fit.

I can get lost a little in the UI especially when switching indexes. With search being a complex type of use case it may just be how it is. I find the helpful documentation and integrations make up for the issues I find in the Algolia UI

I have used it to do multiple types of searches. Such as a simple document search, filtered searches, keyword searches across many complex models/content types. In all cases, it has been fairly easy to use with great documentation to help me along. We could've done a lot of work in the database to get the same result but it was nice to offload some of this work so we do not have to worry about scaling the search as time goes one. I much rather have someone who knows what they are doing handle that part instead of having to handle that on my own

Usually something easy isn't that powerful but Algolia is great at it. We use Algolia manually as a replacement for Zendesk help center search which is extremely limited in functionality. Through their YouTube channel and help docs I was able to get up and running without having to talk to their support team at all. It's also a nice modern interface. Search usually isn't that way and it's very technical. You can tell Algolia spent a lot of time making the front-end as user friendly as possible while still being able to dive deep into technical aspects. Pricing is great too for what you get.

The shortest interval for extracting articles from Zendesk is 6 hours, which is fine, but when you are in go mode making a ton of changes, it sucks to have to wait. Overall though that is extremely minor and I can't think of anything else to dislike.

We've completely replaced Zendesk help center search with the speedy algolia and have been able to use common industry term replacements to ensure articles are served correctly in case someone searches a less common industry term.

Performance is top of the line! Same with DX.

Nothing yet. If you want great search experience and willing to pay for that - algolia is no brainer.

Got a great search experience and fast implementation.

Algolia's solution was simple to implement and start supplying our products. The available customization options allowed us to provide customers with accurate results more often.

There is very little that I don't like about this solution. My biggest complaint would be that some significant changes require significant work to upgrade, but the continued support for existing workflows makes that a minor issue for us.

Writing custom search is a difficult task. It takes a lot of development hours and, even then, covering edge cases can be difficult. Algolia allows us to be responsive to the needs of our customers and our staff.

It is very easy to Integration, and the APIs are FAST with good customization options.

A sandbox for work in a local/dev environment that would not affect the production usage quota would be great if available. Currently, all usages get added up in the same quota.

I am getting super fast search Results for an e-commerce site. The over developing time for implementing a search

it's swift, robust and equipped with intelligent tools

It becomes a bit costy if I integrate a real-time search suggestions as the user typing

Many problems, but Algolia shines with the full-text search in a Non-SQL databases; however, I realized that the service has some excellent tools that made me think to use it with all my future projects.
