Google-like enterprise search, right out of the box

  • May 02, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is so easy to use that it makes implementing enterprise search an absolute breeze. It offers us almost all of the benefits of elasticsearch, but in a turnkey solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, so far. Elasticsearch is more configurable but we find that we're happy with trading off some of that control for ease of implementation/administration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're dedicated to shipping low-latency solutions throughout our product suite, so Algolia's speed, combined with things like its typo-tolerance features, makes it very user-friendly.

Easy to implement, great product. Vive Algolia

  • April 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am not a developer, but my team had a pretty much hustle free time implementing the software and get it running in 2 different applications. As we are only a very small team, time to market is very critical. The WOW effect kicks in when you start the search and get the instant results in a matter of a blink. The true beauty unfolds as you can easily modify the search in the Admin Dashboard. So you don't have to bother your developers any more. The application is reasonable priced and I can not image how we would do without it. We had a custom build search implemented in our application but those are anything near of what Algolia is capable of. The user experience on http://www.solartraders.com for our customers is on another level now.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the could refine a bit the dependencies of the filters.
Apart from it I don't have many recommendations as the experience is a fantastic one so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you need search on your application, use Algolia!
It is incredible fast and reliable and time to market for deployment is very fast.
For a simple search without filters you are done in a couple of hours. For a search including filters (depending on complexity) calculate 2-4 days.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cant really help here as I have not used other saas for search.
Though before you build your own search, think about all the advantages wich you will gain by using Algolia. Even if you just need search for your backend administration and so on.

What do you like best about the product?
Not having to manage my own search infrastructure including software setups and performance
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to manage duplicates / already indexed items in my own databases

Search suggestions, SERP

    Marketing and Advertising

An essential tool for search heavy sites and tools.

  • February 21, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is incredibly fast to execute searches, often results return in just a few milliseconds. Setup was quite easy, even given the technical overhead involved, since the API and docs are clear and to the point. It has out of the box compatibility with VueJS which I love, so that is appreciated. The default widgets provided are easy to customize and it's not too hard to make your own when needed. There are plugins for Wordpress and other CMSs for those that use them.

I'd also counterpoint to anyone who mentions price as a negative. I would challenge anyone to show me they can even setup the raw infrastructure needed to run something like elastic search this fast, never mind the ongoing costs needed to maintain such a system.

Algolia can't be beat from a value standpoint right now in this space.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of date based filter widget maybe? I have no serious complaint against the product. Algolia has served all the needs I had for search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small team and deploying real-time faceted search on complex sites is very difficult. Then to do is reliably with cross-platform compatibility and great speed, that's nearly impossible. Algolia makes this process trivial by comparison, with a few custom plugins we are able to setup user friendly search on all of our sites easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just take a look at how much Algolia is used in the open-source community for search docs, or asset library or packages (jsDelivr, Packagist).

What do you like best about the product?
The easy integration is the first thing attractive in Algolia, the comes the fast search the suggestion and other features
What do you dislike about the product?
The bad side of Algolia is that we can not use it promise, we need to use it as a SaaS and this is a privacy for some of our clients
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We tried to implement search our selves but it was really difficult, Algolia helped as a lot to implement search in our product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We highly recommand it

Fast search service, easy to use at very reasonable price

  • February 05, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and plenty of SDKs are provided so there's is one for everyone. Setup and configuration are done through a clear dashboard which also offers great insights into search performance.
Search results are being delivered instantaneously. They're so fast that using a search index for search query completion is working perfectly.
The pricing is very reasonable. For testing and small volume sites, there is even a free tier.
Support also is great. The turnaround for a fix in one of the provided SDKs was less than 24h.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I truly dislike about algolia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's saving us the effort to build our own search infrastructure. We have no relevant skills available in-house, so having such a service offered at a reasonable cost is helping is to get our products to the market a lot faster.

Algolia for micro entrepreneurs

  • February 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When trying to learn about Algolia as a new customer, it is very easy to navigate their website and see clearly what their pricing and structure plans are. The implementation of it on my company website, DollarProbs.com was easy and we did not experience any major issues or bugs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be better to see how Algolia can expand on its current sets of search API data, and be able to give more in-depth reports in its weekly usage report emails it sends out. Making it a bit easier to switch plans would be more helpful, but overall it is quite simple to find needed information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Algolia search API to help determine what users on my website are searching for, and to see what the trending words are that they are searching for so we can make them stronger keywords in our site. The Algolia features and services are plenty for my small business to handle for now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a detailed and precise search API, Algolia is a great tool that can help improve the search abilities of your website. Algolia was recommended to me first by a friend, and then after hearing it recommended again by my web team, I knew it was a worthwhile product, and has lived up to my current small business needs. It is easy to find research needed to learn more about what the product is and its potential helpful features to improve your own business needs.

What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to setup, configure and make on-the-fly changes and has dramatically improved the search experience for our customers and staff trying to find products and articles on our website
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. It's amazing! Nothing more I can add
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The search logic that I personally developed was very basic, didn't understand plurals, spelling mistakes and was slow. Algolia has solved all of this.

What do you like best about the product?
If you work with elasticsearch, the migration is very fast. The configuration of the tool is very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first there is uncertainty with the price, but with few calculations you can know what the tool will cost....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ecommerce search engine and all the product listings.
Simplicity, speed and statistics of use
