Best search system out there
What do you like best about the product?
It's hosted, flexible, and scales very well. It's what ElasticSearch should have been. You can throw pretty much whatever data you'd want to at it, and figure out the indexing later. Facets make searching very slick, and the fact that it's hosted means I simply don't need to worry about Indexing.
Anyone who doesn't use Algolia is just living in the past.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can get expensive, but still not as expensive as running OS software on AWS. The only *feature* issues we've had is that it doesn't let you perform cross-index searches. In our specific use-case, we have to duplicate data into multiple indexes because we want customer-specific data (restricted to specific customers of ours) along with our specified data in the same search.
It also requires a separate index for each sort order. That means no ad-hoc sorting (you can't specify to return results in a specific order at search time).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used this now for 3 separate production projects across 2 completely different companies. It gives us blazingly fast search and faceting across millions of records. We use this to generate statistics, as well as provide our customers with results based on their specific searches. We have an entire CRM platform build on top of Algolia.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan things out before you start indexing data, it can be expensive and time-consuming to make a lot of indexing changes after you have millions of records in a single Index. Also consider search patterns and usage examples, don't index data that's completely unnecessary. Keep your items as small as possible to keep searching fast.
Remember each index can only have one sort order.
Also remember that you don't want to include API keys in a front-end client directly, instead use the generateSecuredAPIKey function to create expiring tokens from a backend.

Grea tsolution for faceted search
What do you like best about the product?
Granular search results and filtering and the ability to search within a polygon is great for real estate.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most difficult part of getting my algolia workflow setup was creating batch writes for daily updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for real estate searches, where there are many data points to filter. I can take user input and get fast results/
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great solution that is hyper-focused on search
Absolutely Go to stack of tools!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess if you start to engage people on a much efficient manner, customer satisfaction will be quite huge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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 !
Algolia is fast and it works!
What do you like best about the product?
Search results are incredibly fast. Setup was fairly straight forward and didn't take very long. The re-indexing speed is also very good. Pricing is fair, overall its a pretty damn impressive service and I'm looking forward to implementing it on other projects in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with anything new there's terminology which can be a little bit confusing at first. The documentation took a few reads until the information and processes stuck with me. Other than that there's nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast e-commerce product search with rich data results.
Algolia is the end-all be-all for search
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia gives me a far better search product than one I could engineer myself, and I had it up and running in a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
The terminology they use in the dashboard can be confusing at first. Luckily, I spend very little time in the dashboard, so it isn't a major issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Algolia for product and user searches on our app and website, as well as for several internal tools. It's great for pretty much any search use-case that I've encountered so far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering building your own custom in-house search solution, don't even bother unless you're enterprise scale. Even then, you should weigh the pros and cons of having an internal team build and maintain a project. Algolia is so easy, I will be hard-pressed to ever walk away from it, even if it starts costing a lot of money.
Needed a search fro static Jekyll site
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is easy to set up and customize for your individual needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was a little disappointed that they are no longer supporting the Jekyll plugin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to build a search that displays results from our marketing site, blog, and documentation site.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bring back the Jekyll plugin!
There are endless possibilities of integrations, there are no limits with Algolia for integration.
What do you like best about the product?
Java, JavaScript, Ktlin and Zendesk are just some of the solutions with which I have an excellent integration with Algolia, there are many more integration options that I am currently working with and I can continue adding many more integrations without problems, I just need to send a message to the support of Algolia and they kindly provide me with the tools to integrate them. By requesting support help I can complete the most complex tasks in just a few minutes or depending on the complexity of the integration in a few hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
They must add many more customization features and they must modernize their platform, sometimes I dislike their outdated look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The positive since we started using Algolia in the company are summarized in two things, the search patterns and the customer experience. It is very simple when the client is satisfied, all the members of my team are also satisfied, Algolia allows us to improve and automate our search engine in a few days.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The configurations of integrations can be a bit complex if you do not have the necessary experience, for this reason I recommend you to configure the integrations with the help of Algolia support so that you can achieve the work in a relatively short time, I have to repeat it, not make your own, ask for help. Algolia allows you to improve and having algolia is what I love most.
Get 100% involved with the details and functions of Algolia ... try it.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will have many doubts with the 14-day test, of course it is very short, for this reason you should read the documentation and be always constant communication with the support so that they solve all the difficulties that are within your reach, it will not to be an easy path, but in the same way you have to travel to be able to implement this innovative solution to advanced search problems.
Our clients use it and find what they are looking for because everything is centralized.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is very easy to use and add information, in addition the platform is very intuitive and the searches are very fast. The technical support service responds to us very quickly and resolves problems immediately, the truth is very responsible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia developers thought of everything, because so far we have not seen errors. They may exist, but we are very happy with this software and we would like it to continue that way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that we are better known every day, because our reputation increases as we enter new products and our customers find their specifications without many complications, because the search engine is very fast and the interface builds confidence, I think it is perfectly made for the user .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have doubts, you should only use the free trial version and the doubts will dissipate, because the integration of our products with our clientele is excellent and I can assure you that after using it, you will want to buy a full service package.
Don't build your own search until you've outgrown Algolia
What do you like best about the product?
Up and running with advanced search capabilities in minutes. Hook up your data model, plug in the JavaScript widget and your users get a great search experience. It is very fast from anywhere in the world and the flexible customisation features allow for advanced and nearly bespoke search solutions. You should try Algolia before you try to build your own search.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Some of the terminology used when you get into customising the experience can take awhile to make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing our users to search and find meaning in large datasets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it before you build your own search.
