I like the amount of simple integration allowing me to worry about my application logic without needing to worry about how to integrate complex search. We used an integration with Laravel that was backed by Algolia making a lot of the implementation simple and seamless. We went this route multiple times to build different types of solutions for multiple customers.
We did a lot of work with Laravel and it being somewhat first-class supported and Algolia seems to care about making it work well with our framework made it really a perfect fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can get lost a little in the UI especially when switching indexes. With search being a complex type of use case it may just be how it is. I find the helpful documentation and integrations make up for the issues I find in the Algolia UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Usually something easy isn't that powerful but Algolia is great at it. We use Algolia manually as a replacement for Zendesk help center search which is extremely limited in functionality.
Through their YouTube channel and help docs I was able to get up and running without having to talk to their support team at all.
It's also a nice modern interface. Search usually isn't that way and it's very technical. You can tell Algolia spent a lot of time making the front-end as user friendly as possible while still being able to dive deep into technical aspects.
Pricing is great too for what you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The shortest interval for extracting articles from Zendesk is 6 hours, which is fine, but when you are in go mode making a ton of changes, it sucks to have to wait. Overall though that is extremely minor and I can't think of anything else to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia has an easy to use more than one search page template and provides the needed technical support to help new users set up their Algolia powered search page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia currently doesn't offer different paid tiers of technical support apart from the user accounts. Some projects require higher level Algolia technical expertise and right now basic users are not able to access that type of help. I trust Algolia for this type of help, and feel uneasy trusting random freelancers with my data and project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia docsearch is pretty quick to setup with docusaurus and dashboard is easy to read. You can also expose the API to force an indexation, which means you can integrate into the CI pipeline. Pretty neat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The manual check for Docsearch is required for Open Source project. It would be great to have this automated and avoid to communicate by mails. We would also like to do the manual check before the project is exposed to the public. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of algolia is fantastic, we send data and it syncs quickly. Responses are in milliseconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's so easy to implement. Super intuitive. Very fast to deliver results and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For what I used until now, I did not miss or dislike anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to configure and implement in Web and Mobile Apps. Results are very fast.
Rules, AI Re-Ranking and Personalization are the best features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Licensing model - It becomes expensive when search requests increase as it charges on each search request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simplicity (connection with Firebase), the documentation, and the UI / UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The indications about the price. We don't know if we pay the records each month, we don't have a simulator in order to estimate the cost in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
