Developer-friendly but also has Non-Developer capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
The robustness of the indexing, particularly the synonyms. Analytics are precise and manual adjustments to common searches is literally drag and drop. The ability to tweak your algorithm as you view analysis is unique to Algolia.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the initial indexing does take some time and developer know-how, but it is a manageable task for most developers who are familiar with your technology stack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have both a product index for ecommerce as well as a large database of locations and Algolia allows us to keep those indexes separate to manage the rank of the results, but we can also combine them for a mega search experience.
Algolia for the quick Search capabilitiess for new Startups
What do you like best about the product?
Quick onboarding, minimal tech implementation for integration and ease of usage, alongside providing a cleaner support for the Ops and Configuration teams for enhancing the search results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise license is a lot more powerful and Algolia lacks in providing strong Foundational support for an early or non-enterprise licenses, this impacts the search quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A very strrong Search implementation usig Algolia without investing too much on nitty gritties and ES/Solr impkementaion, helped invest energies rightly and help Ops with right configutaions support
Algolia Product Review
What do you like best about the product?
> Configurations - To configure the search logic by different attributes.
> Rules - Ability to create rules as per the customer's need and show the right results.

What do you dislike about the product?
> Relevancy - The relevancy of the results can be optimized much better in terms of the AI / ML / NLP tool to understand what the customer is exactly searching for and show accordingly.
> Expensive :-D yeah, it is quite expensive compared to the market and not all companies can afford the tool even if they want to.
> Customized Support: They can have dedicated account managers so that the Alogila team can analyze our integrations and performance and suggest us to use the tool to its max potential. Today this is not the case so we are probably not using it to the highest capabilities.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia is helping our customers find the right products faster using Internal Search. In simple words for a physical store customers ask the sales assistant to find the right product, in eCommerce customers use the search option to find the products and that's exactly where Algolia is doing its job.
Algolia is a great internal search engine tool for big eCommerce platforms, it is one of the best tools in the market. The available features and configurations help the product manager to relevant search results to their customers. The best thing is the results are instant once the integration is done.

Great Solution: easy to start with and lots of advanced feature to improve your marketplace
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia saves me a lot of time. It's easy to start with. Configurable enough to fit with our business and with great reliability and performance.
Documentation and support are great.
In addition, it offers you lots of cutting-edge features to improve conversion and user experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
It might look pricy if you only use basic features. Compared to internal solutions or hosting some lighter open source solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and most important problem solved is having a responsive marketplace with all the filters we need on a big database
Algolia has been an integral part of our search/discovery systems
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Algolia is so easy to use for both developers and business-side folks. Now that we've integrated it into our search system, we can iterate often as we learn more about our users and test search ranking improvements. For the business side, I like the ability to see clear usage analytics as well as the system proactively offering synonyms and other options to further boost our search experience. In addition, their team is very easy to work with and has been receptive to feedback and supports us as necessary. It does feel like Algolia offers great service and it has been very appreciated by our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tools still feel MVP which can be a drag. An example of that is Algolia offers synonyms (where you can make similar phrases return the same result) but the AI re-ranker feature doesn't fully respect them which can break your user experience goals. I do hope Algolia can share more updates and plans for iterating on existing features. They do share their long-term thinking but sometimes it would be great to know when those new features are coming so our team can better plan for them or consider them as part of future A/B testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia has allowed us to scale our search index system as our Marketplace grows. In addition, it enables us to understand and iterate on user trends to enhance our search experience for users. When we finished rolling it out, we saw an increase in GMV using Algolia compared to our prior search system.
Nowadays, we use Algolia to visualize and note trends in user searches where they're converting at lower rates, identify future opportunities for the business based on their Analytics toolings, and integrate it with other search and discovery services we're using.

Fast and easy to adopt
What do you like best about the product?
The speed of algolia is fantastic, we send data and it syncs quickly. Responses are in milliseconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Figuring out how to do database syncing is tricky. We have somewhat realtime information we need to send and sometimes indexing speeds are >10 seconds which is a bummer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ultimately we are using algolia for global search. We're also using it for a few landing pages for users to browse their items.
Very fast and powerful search with integrated enhancement tools and client side examples
What do you like best about the product?
So far is the speed and exposed API to update the indexes and settings. It's search on steroids and a very powerful tool to add to your website or admin backend
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing that I could point out with a dislike tone. In further reviews, the dashboard could be improved to be more user-friendly for newcomers. But as it works perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is resolving autosuggest smart search fields and adding speed independently of the server load. Even if it would be implemented on our side would be hard to reach that response speed.
The best way to add search to a static site
What do you like best about the product?
I added Algolia to a Vuepress site. It was incredibly easy and straightforward. I had the search up and running in less than a couple of hours with great quality results.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout and navigation of the site are a bit confusing. I had a hard time understanding how to navigate between the profile, index, and crawler UIs. The UI can benefit from improved cohesive navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up a custom search instance is complicated, time-consuming and error-prone. Using Algolia I was able to have the search up and running almost immediately without having to manage servers or infra.
Easy Set-Up and Supportive Customer Success Team
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Algolia for a search proof of concept. After signing up, the customer success team reached out to me to offer help. They were very helpful, pointing me to some open source synonym dictionaries that I could use in my project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to experience any downsides to Algolia, it has been very nice to work with so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Searching a Firestore database of existing contacts to ensure the integrated apps can not introduce a duplicate entry. To do this, we are leveraging synonym dictionaries, typo detection and geo-location proximity filters.
Takes the headache out of managing search infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
For the most part is it just plug-and-play. It has good packages for integrating with Ruby on Rails and Laravel which makes firing data off easy. Being able to control search preferences inside Algolia rather than in code makes it easy to see what options are available but also tinker in realtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing - it becomes prohibitively expensive as the number of records goes up. This is a result of paying per record rather than paying for CPU capacity or bandwidth. For use-cases with millions of records I've had to consider other options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes searching for our users (and site administrators) super easy - it fixes for typos, handles fuzzy searching and queries multiple columns easily. It takes the load off our SQL database performing complex queries and gives better and faster results to our customers.
