Algolia Reviews & Product Details

The easy-to-go API and the Synonyms Dictionary changed everything. Our product became much more powerful after these two features.

The documentation can't be a paradise. We lost some time trying to implement the widgets with out application.

We have a database with many levels of data. With Algolia, we solve the problem of returning the right match in minutes, providing to our users the best results, in real time.

Very easy to setup and personalize. From the start, all you've got to do is setup algolia with the keys from your project and configure the index to use from your app (We use Algolia with PHP - Laravel). One of the most useful settings available are the synonyms, that enable you to configure similar words to show relevant user the correct results. This helps our customers to find: Tegucigalpa, as Tegu, or TGU or tegusigalpa.

After using Algolia after 6 months we haven't found anything wrong with it.

We are using Algolia to help our customers find exactly what they need, with ease. The response is incredible fast and the analytics is amazing.

The product is very powerful and well documented for integrating into our platform. We have been really happy with how well their APIs are documented. Our users are distributed globally so it is amazing to have the power to quickly and easily distribute our search resources to many regions for faster latency.

We haven't found anything big enough to warrant dislike of the product.

We need fast, accurate search results for use in our content apps and filtering capabilities. We have quickly solved many problems we were trying to custom write code for by moving to Algolia.

Relevancy out of the box, fast response times, easy administration.

Planning billing based on index ops, some extra work required to minimize spend while keeping lots of data up to date.

Searching a large product catalog based on text relevancy and other factors. From loading data to getting results is very fast. Using instantsearch.js makes front-end dev as easy as it could be.

I have built searches on lucene/solr/elasticsearch myself, but algolia has simplified everything for me and saved time for other stuff.

Nothing ate this moment. The price is a little bit high if you consider the exchange rate for brazil, but the service worth it.

I needed a very fast search for a youtuber marketplace. So the instant search page/feature worked like a charm.

We had search up on our site within 48 hours and most of that time was figuring out what we wanted to make searchable and how to then sync it to Algolia. The search functionality is super fast and shows similar results when search parameters are a few characters off.

Analytics data is limited to 7 days on the base plan.

Basic search on our website. It's helped us see content that our users are looking for which we do not have on our site. We added an entire new type of content based on "not found" analytics data from Algolia.

Blazing fast speed and highly reliable. We out performed our competition with exceptional search. No exaggeration.

Pricing model can be a bit better. They should try to use AWS model.

Offering the customers to search thousands of grocery products.

Algolia is one of the fastest searches out there. It's better than any defaults that come in a CMS. I've replaced our search defaults on Zendesk, Shopify, and Wordpress with Algolia. Generally, the search accurately delivers the results indexed for the queries without much effort from our dev team. The instant search is a wonderful user experience for customers on our site that involved minimal development work on our side. The system keeps search records up to date without our team having to spend a lot of time maintaining or managing the service. Honestly, it's one of those softwares that just work and you don't have to think much about. Their team does a great job of offering the best search software out there.

It's easy for non-developer team members to add synonyms but the query rules/parameters require a bit more development knowledge which limits our team a bit in implementing customizations on the search.

We originally had a search vendor that delivered accurate results but was expensive and did not deliver results quickly to the user. Algolia delivers results accurately and quickly to users at a lower cost than we were paying with our old provider.

The ease of use and the whole developer experience (API, Documentation, ...)

Nothing! Just keep up the brilliant work!

We are using Algolia mainly because we needed to improve our search experience. We do salary comparisons and the core of our website is around salary reports. It is very important for us that users find exactly the reports they want in the quickest and easiest way possible. With algolia we were able to improve our UX, and the best part is it couldn't have been any easier!

Algolia has easy implementation and easy data management. The searching is fast and it allows your users to find things quickly.

I have not found anything that I dislike yet. Pricing is good and worth it.

We allow users to search for careers, skills, open jobs, and projects internally at their company that they work at. We needed an easy search api so that employees could find opportunity. Algolia enables users to quickly find what they need. Additionally, the analytics gives us insight on what and how people search so that we can constantly improve our searching. Also, there are so many packages offered in terms of replication to make sure that data isn't lost. There is a huge community too around using their plugins like instantsearch that will help you really get started.
