Algolia Reviews & Product Details

It's really easy to implement their APIs for both front-end and back-end services. It's so much easier to use them as a service rather than starting up a custom search tool.

We are still on a legacy plan and the new pricing isn't as good as the plan we currently have.

We are a radio station and we now have the ability to let listeners find what song they heard! Most people really only remember a few words of a song and being able to index lyrics and titles makes finding that song so much easier!

We are using a custom Laravel Application and the Integration was very easy. The service is so fast we can't imagine how Algolia can do it.

I really don't find anything to dislike. It works as expected.

We are a classifieds platform. The search and filter results are awesome

the ease of use of the dashboard, and the abillity to destuingish how much sensitive you want your search to be

the format it force me to change (e.g. geo points)

free text search

Very fast, reliable, and easy to use. We are using for several use cases. We have implemented the real time search, awesome speed. It is also good to index orders for the sales front end and dashboard. In this case the ability to use multiple indexes per sort let the response very fast.

Nothing at all. The only thing may be the price for people outside US. I live in Brazil and the exchange hates are 4-1.

Near real time search, sales dashboard

Algolia is fast, reliable and super easy to work with. Instead of spending lots of resources on implementing our own elastic search, we decided to go with Algolia. We never looked back.

There are some limitations on the record size and facet size but nothing major. We also like to see better support for geolocation and clustering

Our search page is using algolia which supports more than 50 types of filters and sorts

Features and performance. Makes the site look professional with almost instant results comparable to Google, highlighting.

Vue integration and docs are good but I want more

Performant search

Fast search, easy install, best for seo.

it would be interesting to have a way to customize results via dashboard

For search products in my site

We decided we needed search on our site. Within a few minutes we had a demo account within Algolia, and instantly wrapped our heads around the interface. A few hours later we had our entire dataset within Algolia, and minutes later were hitting the API with search results. Since setting up Algolia, we have hardly had to modify any search settings. It has worked flawlessly for almost two years for us. We are actively showing the technology off to other product teams, as it drastic reduced our cost to build our product out. Our search is so effective, it is typically one of the first things other teams notice when checking out our product. They asked how we did the impossible. The answer, focus on our core competencies, and trust the experts at their competencies. Algolia is simply the best, at a fair price.

Not much. We have had a few minutes of downtime in almost two years. When it happened the monitors at Algolia did not detect the outage. After emailing the CEO, he was quick to respond. The technical teams were quick to resolve, and due to our outreach, were able to fix the monitors. Downtime is expected for any SaaS service. What is important is that it is reasonable, and how they respond. For that, they did a amazing job.n

We were able to create a medication search, that is faster than our competitors. It is a more notable feature when other development teams investigate our site. i have done over a dozen technical demos from other teams doing outreach due to the speed and user experience. We even rendered 28,000 pages based on data we store in Algolia. In other words, we use Algolia as part of our content management strategy, due to how fast and effective it is.

Easy setup. Great and clean documentation. Easy to use react components. Really nice management dashboard.

Nothing really. It meets our business demands completely.

In app User base search

What I like most about Algolia is that it's very easy to set up and get running. Using Zendesk's connector, we were able to configure instant search on our knowledge base very quickly. Also, the added analytics on what people are searching for when they come to our site has helped us think about content gaps in our help documentation.

The lingo around the app was the only real learning curve I had to overcome. Knowing the difference between records and operations and indices, etc., was a little head scratching at first. But when you understand, the platform makes a lot more sense.

We've made it a lot easier for users to find content in our help resources. We want people to find answers quickly so they can get back to using our application and solving problems, so the more we can do to improve the search experience, the better.
