"I'm using Algolia Search and Beta Answers"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia has always been a product to use for better search results, i.e. search applications that required NLP-assisted search. Now, with Algolia Answers, one has access to ML/NLP search results i.e. cognitive search. Additionally, Algolia offers a turnkey cloud search solution, with one's indices stored across three or more geographically distributed cloud instances. I would definitely recommend Algolia.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

As always, pricing can be an issue, but with long term contracts, pricing becomes less of an issue.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognitive Search. Time to market - turnkey solution offers a pre-built NLP- and model-based enterprise search solution.

"Simple but effective cloud based search as a service"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is easy to set up and the auto-indexing integration with Netlify works really well. I was able to install Algolia on my Gatsby.js static site and get the search up and running within an hour.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Although Algolia's free tier is very generous, if you exceed the free tier limit, it can get quite expensive.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a real-time search solution for a static site. A static site doesn't have a backend server, so I needed a cloud-based search service and Algolia fit the bill.

"Excellent Customer Support, pricing, and flexibility"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia’s customer support responds quickly. They would do their best to remedy the issue or find a workaround. They would even create simulations for you to demonstrate before implementing the custom change. The pricing works for start up like our that have low resources. We are not an eCommerce site. We just needed Aloglia for users to search from our list of universities. Their dashboard is easy to navigate. Their custom features and documentation is easy to understand.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Wish there was support for more languages and support for features that caters to searching in a foreign language. For example some Taiwanese users uses phonetics characters Algolia can't understand this language leading to no search results. It doesn't let you test based on the geo location of hypothetical user. Our search is optimized for geo location. So a user in China enters "University" then "University of china" would appear instead of "university of england" where I am based. It would be great if we can enter the hypothetical geo location

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have to build our own search engine. The service is affordable and the performance is good enough for our users. We currently have no research result of 3% this use to be 7% . There Analytics reports provided by Algolia helped me minimize no search outcomes.

"Search done right, fast and simple to build an index of searchable content, a must have!"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Search has been complicated for a long time, Google fixed how we search the web. Algolia has fixed how we search websites for content products and more. The indices are simple to create and configure. You have control over the relevancy of the content, and can even build custom algorithms. The search results are returned in milliseconds.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

There isn't anything I dislike, Algolia is built to return fast and relevant results for your content which you index.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Indexing blog content and making it easily searchable on the web.

"My first Algolia Integration for latamlink.io"
What do you like best about Algolia?

The tool is amazing to find content on a website, especially if your website is focused on bringing documentation to final users about a specific tool, framework, language or any specific activity that needs several files to describe it.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I think that the inclusion of the indexing file in GitHub could be more automatically.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

I included Algolia to help users of latamlink.io find what they are looking for in a rapid and a concisely way. The indexing engine is powerful and updates constantly, this is the thing I love the most.
