Product Description

Algolia is an API built for developers that delivers relevant results in your mobile apps and websites from the first keystroke.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Other companies such as Elasticsearch and Solr work well out-of-the-box for document search, but delivering a fully-featured, user-friendly search with them requires a lot of additional investment.

Algolia’s highly-optimized infrastructure is distributed across the world in 15 regions and 47 data centers. Algolia provides a 99.99% reliability guarantee and can deliver a fast search to users wherever in the world they’re connecting from. Elasticsearch and Solr do not automatically distribute to multiple regions, and doing so can incur significant server costs and devops resources.

It's not a cheap product but more than worth it. Pays for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The flexibility, scalability, and ease of use are the biggest draws. Algolia's willingness and ability to partner with nonprofits through its Algolia for Open Source program is an amazing offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Admittedly, very, very little. The hardest thing so far has been integrating Algolia with our WordPress site, but the documentation is helpful and thorough in making it possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have dozens of references to identical information (e.g. "Region __") and the flexible nature of Algolia's search abilities and the ability to target or limit search queries to certain sections of our site's data is incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

We implemented Algolia for an NFP (not-for-profit) organisation among others. With the NFP implementation, we used Algolia for Open Source which allows our client to try out Algolia before moving into more advanced features. We were able to index content from a traditional CMS and provide a fast search and listing service using Algolia's basic features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

The process of attributing Algolia's free open-source plan was interesting. Providing an embeddable piece of HTML and images would have made this process so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internal site search, geo-based search and listing categorised pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I have yet to experience any downsides to Algolia, it has been very nice to work with so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia provides a richer search experience and is easy to integrate and configure every aspect of it. You won’t find a competitor that beats the speed, ease of integration and support you receive easily our favorite SaaS out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Probably the Pricing model, which at times can be confusing due to search unit calculations and scale economy variations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Search results mainly. Algolia makes a great job out of the box at correcting typos, synonyms and complex search terms. Another thing to point out is its great admin tool with speedy adoption times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is a powerful API-based search engine that is capable of processing our search queries and giving its results on a quick real-time basis. It implements a tie-breaking algorithm for a comprehensive comparison of our record items. It offers top-notch transparency while working with our records, and its search engine is capable of handling high-end search provisions for our demands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I'm satisfied with the end-to-end search solutions offered by Algolia. It gives me excellent UI experience while working with its SAAS platform. Its configuration is also simple, and no prior experience is required to begin with Algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Algolia is helpful in API monitoring activities for our Boyce's E-commerce application clusters which is not easily accessible with regular API clients. It builds and redefines our search patterns based on our application end-user interactions, and its analytics provides accurate and consistent feedback. We can also restrict our search based on the set of indices we define and implement changes in our front-end code. The primary API key is generated on the Boyce application server, and they are secured through its superb API endpoint security features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation and support are great.

In addition, it offers you lots of cutting-edge features to improve conversion and user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It might look pricy if you only use basic features. Compared to internal solutions or hosting some lighter open source solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Algolia 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration as well as extensive documentation around integrating with Algolia in the code. UX for business users to update/manage search as well was a huge boon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
