Algolia Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Good search engine, integrates nicely with react. Awesome dashboard.

Algolia logo on free version. Limits are exchausted pretty quickly.

I use it for my personal blog, benefits - I see what users are looking for, also search is pretty good compared to lunr search.

It is one of the best search providers I have used, it is very well documented and easy to use, the docs are a great way to explore some features, it is an extremely fast tool, the platform is very intuitive, and searches are very fast. , it also has optimal use of digital resources, the speed of reindexing is also very good, you can also configure the site according to the behavior of your customers, flexible customization functions allow advanced search solutions, it is also very easy to navigate your website.

My experience with Algolia has been very positive and productive, I only have good comments about this incredible platform.

It is a great tool that can help improve the search capabilities of your website, Algolia's interface is easy to use and the documentation is clear, it has been a great alternative to creating our own search solution, help me to have a better search system, the platform is very intuitive and searches are very fast, it has worked perfectly for us for a long time.

I love the speed of search, especially the ability to run performant queries on each keystroke. This is the type of feature you expect when you use a search service like Google, so delivering a similar, intuitive experience to users is a major boost to a website's User Experience. I first discovered Algolia via the GatsbyJS ecosystem and React documentation websites, so I was pleased to discover that there are well documented / widely adopted plugins available for easy integration with my existing projects. It's also extremely easy to create a search index both at build time in the project's code or through the Algolia dashboard. I used to struggle with this process when I tried other local search solutions. Algolia is every developer's dream for interactive site search.

I found the documentation for React in particular to be very challenging. I think the team at Algolia could do a better job explaining each component and showing relevant examples. It took me much longer than it should have to troubleshoot basic API challenges. I have also experienced problems with the API querying more times than my search component renders. It would be great if Algolia offered more insight on optimizing usage to prevent behavior like this.

I am using Algolia to index a medium sized content website so users can pinpoint the exact page or content they are looking for. I have found that performant, easy-to-use search really changes the way users approach an application. I currently run it on a website that will soon become 22 additional websites.

Algolia was easy to integrate, and their platform makes it easy to customize the search experience based on our product and customer needs. We had originally built our own search experience but found that transitioning over to Algolia gave us the ability to constantly be delivering an excellent experience to users without needing to maintain the search technology on our own.

As a business owner, I haven't run into any downsides yet but admittedly the engineers on my team would be more prepared to comment on any details of the integration or maintenance process.

We are allowing media buyers to discover and browse their purchase options much faster.

Development from scratch and fast search with data center distributed in different countries. Integration with JavaScript libraries.

Algolia works well, it is powerful, I have no problems with this program.

I do instant searches with Algolia, I look for information from my clients.

Algolia is an extremely fast tool that can manage styles pretty well by using a scoring productive formula that's very easy to adjust. If our customers misspelled a query, it lets us handled these misspelled questions and work with HTML customer search orders by Javascript. Also, Algolia embraces web-based services, which improve the accessibility of Windows Phone devices.

Algolia lacks of instructional videos, something necessary as it's a bit complicated, especially with the arrangement of the records and the increase of specialized features. Also, the latest price increases have made Algolia much more costly.

Algolia is the question tool we use for our iOS software and our future web app. Algolia is used every day by every individual within our Marketing department and for each of our customers. It is especially useful for class collection and standard pagination we are using to get an instant response. This solves certain important search optimization questions that are normally addressed by complex algorithms. It makes marketing simple without design interference to adjust search terms when it's appropriate.

Algolia is pretty simple to set up as no work is required from our end and it provides some pretty good search terms. In almost all cases, very little modification is required in Algolia to work with the quest and output monitor. It has great functions and handles incorrect requests, which are the major reasons we have selected this service instead of using another one.

A greater degree of personalization is necessary in Algolia. When it comes to pricing, this is a very costly option in comparison to other tools. I know company plans are always evolving, but my project nearly doubled overnight in cost. Instead of independently evaluating every factor, the rating is limited to priority factors. Also, Algolia does not support iOS or Android.

All of our search features can be found through Algolia on our app or toolbar across the web. Algolia helped us to give our customers only the answers they searched for in a few nanoseconds as the search rate was a glaring problem and is one of the main weaknesses on our website. Algolia is also used for our quest for auto feedback and feedback.

Algolia has good tech assistance, lots of documentation and plugins of excellent quality. Network channels and several data centers have been installed in our business to make Algolia even more power. It is difficult to believe that it operates so quickly even when it's working with large amounts of data on a web server. Also, the authentication and set up process is pretty simple.

In Algolia, it can be challenging to customize the reaction packages and to send requests. The first time I've tried to adjust an index I was a bit frustrated as Algolia's characteristics took way too much time to load. But the main obstacle with Algolia is to develop the look of the UI, which I think should be improved soon.

We have used Algolia in our company to scan all our customers. In our quest for various types of information, we used the efficiency and speed provided by Algolia to significantly improve the customer experience of our page. It allows users to scan for other applications and also predefined position filters we developed.

Algolia is really powerful and has made site search far easier, since using Algolia we are have been able to implement very fast on site filters that work with extremely high accuracy. Within the algolia platform you are able to configure the site to your customer behaviour, for example if you are seeing customers misspelling a word you are able to implement a tolerance to make sure they still see the results they are looking for.

Algolia uses indexes to call all of your data from, which makes algolia very quick but this mean that it's only ever as good as you make it. If you don't already have a good structure then you will need to have a very big clean out and restructure which is time consuming.

Primary use has been on site filters for product listings and on site searching. Since implementing Algoia we are now able to return relevant product results to our customers, now customers can find exactly what they are looking for, conversion is higher

The software fulfill all the requirements for web searching purposes, has an optimal use of digital resources who helps a lot in the performance during the use of the software in the computer. The results for the searching process were outstanding.

I'll prefer a cleaner user interface, the current one is useful but it can be more friendly with the end-user. Also the learning curve for the software it's quite rude, it can be easier to use with a friendly interface and tutorials or hints. Also the cost/benefit it's quite low due the prices for the service

We used Algolia search engine app to provide search solutions to our clients in real estate market, increase the amount of properties in our clients radar range

I really like this tool, it has a speed of response in the search of products, in a single site, easy to use, more precision in the search, recognizes spelling errors and has a great technical support.

I already have time using Algolia I do not see any problem, only that the price is a bit high.

We use it to search for products and users, with an incredible response, thanks to this tool, revenues increased due to its high capacity for rapid response.

The speed of the results and the UI of the dashboard, makes everything easier

That in order to configure a new sorting, I have to create a new index and that fills the quota pretty fast.

We're solving our search engine problem, for the speed of response and the lack of indexation on our side.

I like the shed at which attributes are retrieved. The integration was easy and fast as well

I have currently not found any downsides

Real time search for a firebase application

Granular search results and filtering and the ability to search within a polygon is great for real estate.

The most difficult part of getting my algolia workflow setup was creating batch writes for daily updates.

I use it for real estate searches, where there are many data points to filter. I can take user input and get fast results/

It allows up to offload our search infrastructure.

Nothing in particular integration was relatively easy.

Algolia is our search provider, solves the problem of having to implement and run a solr, etc. implementation

The major advantage is that the way the services are organised. It lets anyone without a dab hand coding skills to start working with Algolia. Also the support services are quite awesome.

I guess if you start to engage people on a much efficient manner, customer satisfaction will be quite huge.

Algolia has helped me a lot in terms of Indexing data as well as I love the NLP tools quite a lot. Huge fan always !

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

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.

Helping users find what documents to read based on keywords

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.

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.

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.

We love that it's crazy fast- it's a party trick when we show folks. The results are instantaneous and make our entire site feel faster.

The pricing is hard to measure as we grow. While I get sent a lot of information weekly, I can't make sense of how that relates to our traffic. I also find it hard to understand how it works with our caching on our managed hosting. When we have an issue on the site, it's hard to understand where the issue is.

We have a complex site with many different lines of business. We're able to go across all of the lines as well as specific offerings. We've been able to make some sense of our specific lines of business, but we still have not had any success with folks typing in natural language queries into the system.

I like best how fast Algolia is for all operations (search and indexing)

I don't dislike a lot of things. Their React connectors could be a bit better.

I give access to a huge database of soccer players

If you work with elasticsearch, the migration is very fast. The configuration of the tool is very simple.

At first there is uncertainty with the price, but with few calculations you can know what the tool will cost....

The ecommerce search engine and all the product listings. Simplicity, speed and statistics of use

Algolia can be used by employees or administrators of any skill level through its "beneath-the-surface" action as an effective means of web searching and connecting with those on the Internet. Implementation onto both computers and mobile phones is easy and relatively unnoticeable/not bothersome. An easy recommendation to any other potential users.

Some dislikes shown by both myself and employees is the impact of Algolia on search speeds and overall RAM usage, which sometimes may impact users from full optimization of their device. Some prefer to use other outlets that do not have this issue, though, minor, and consider it a definite negative about the product.

Algolia has heightened user experience while increasing quality of effective advertising for our company through the Algolia platform. The multi-faceted tools utilized by Algolia make it an effective means to increase productivity and offer an alternative to other "name-brand" competitors.

Speed, easy of use and wordpress plugin. The combination helps creating fast search engines in a breeze

Sometimes we have had high invoices due to high indexing processes. Although that can be managed from our side.

Providing fast and easy search engines. Including good analytics

Algolia is easy to set up with any language or major framework/tool. The speed is impressive even at a big scale.

The product is very oriented toward e-commerce

Algolia handle everything that need a search engine on our app

Ridiculously simple to import information into Algolia to then create rankings etc,. And the fact that everything that can be done over the API can be done via the interface, makes it super simple to hand of features etc to the Product Owners to manage and tweak without developer time.

Documentation when needing to write customisations around the presented libraries is convoluted.

Internal search for users, primary product search and in-content search.

The way in which Algolia provides relevant alternatives if the customers preferred search is not available.

The way in which it is billed is hard to keep track of.

Our search engine on our website was poor. Algolia has much improved this search and helped make our website more consumer friendly.

We installed Algolia and got it working with minimal fuss. The technology is what they use on ProductHunt, so you knw that it is battle tested.

Pricing is slightly higher than expected, but we're happy with the service overall. We may be on a higher tier than is necessary, but needed some of the additional features because of the size of the data set.

Discovery on a large site is difficult-- Algolia helps users better surface our content.

Service overall works great. But would like that custom sorting didn't need to duplicate the index and count towards the plan limit.

Still some clients don't like to commit US$ 35 for a search service. For a client that pays ~US$ 30 for a hosting, it is understandable they don't want to double the hosting cost because of the search.

Advanced search on 7000+ posters, including search by color: https://www.typographicposters.com/?r=255&g=0&b=0

Algolia is speedy and straight forward to use while scales well at our level of usage.

None I can think of. As we add more use case will be able to give more feedback.

Search and cache engine

Good technical supports and customer relationship.

Missing ML functionalities and plug-in. I am expect ranking rather than sorting.

The user facing search and browse functions for shopping our company products.
