Algolia Reviews & Product Details - Page 18

I'm using Algolia to index my blog post (both Hebrew and English)

I was amazed at how quickly everything word, starting from indexing to on-site integration.

The search results are quick, relevant, and support many types of Typos

Easy to seperate between indices

Analytics and query reports are really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing could be a bit heavy for non-professional users. If you need to cross to the more advanced payments tiers, it could get quite expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algolia is undoubtedly blazing fast and allows for fine-tuning and many customizations.

Getting started is simple, and thanks to their well-written documentation, the learning curve is relatively shallow.

We also appreciated their "Inside the Algolia Engine" engineering blog series, which helped me grasp some more information about how they can do what they do and why some limitations exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have had an hard time working around the records length limitation.

We do understand and share the opionion of Algolia engineers that indexing very long documents would worsen the relevance at search time.

However, some use cases require them and we think users should be allowed - at their own risk and cost - to index long documents.

For example, we found faceted search very limited when documents are splitted, and this prevented us from implementing few requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can categorize Algolia's strengths in two primary areas:

1. Algolia's engaged account management and product support are above and beyond other players in the space. This is absolutely integral in being able to implement, manage and optimize the use of their platform.

2. Algolia's commitment to ongoing product enhancements and innovation ensure our organization that we are partnered with a company that is positioned to support our continual growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Your team will need to have an understanding of coding as their platform does not fully support management by the business, digital marketing, or merchandising teams with some level of support from a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algolia is the most seamless integration with its multiple SDKs. It is also easy to keep indexes synchronised. Algolia has a unique way of searching through attributes, also adaptable and able to provide you with business intelligence from your data such as if an item on your website is on offer. This will give you a competitive edge in the market by providing users with excellent experience, that's exactly what Algolia has helped us achieve. I'd recommend Algolia if you want to hit the ground running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algolia is a slightly expensive tool but provides better services than its competitors. Also doesn't seem to work well with unstructured data, also when your systems are on-premise you would leverage Algolia features, unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's straightforward to use and very effective. It takes away all the pain coming from maintaining a dedicated search database.

The best part of the Algolia was React UI Library

It has such a perfect and fully customizable UI library. You don't have to worry about the connection between you and Algolia. Instead of that, you can focus on the connection between the customer and you. It has a UI library for Vue, angular, android, ios.

Next, the best part is the facets.

Facets let you create categories on a select group of attributes, so your end users can refine their search.

With faces, it barely takes any time to add a new category or deliver those categories to the end-user.

Another part of Algolia like is demos.

Algolia provides out-of-box one-click demos for your indexes, so you can try and test your index structure before implementing it into your main UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I saw when I looked at Algolia was dynamically sorting is not a thing at all. You have to make a "replica" of the same index if you want to sort it by different fields.

Honestly, copying a whole index to sort by only one different field was come scary to me. But now, when I look back, it didn't come like a spooky thing like it used to before.

Other than that. Algolia is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the speed that I can implamnt a complex test search at a low price and high performance and accuracy. The fast ramp-up and implementation are very impressive, which is my go-to solution for this kind of task. I like the framework and the React components that they provide to connect the search in your application, such as the backend implementation that was for most of my clients just writing two firebase cloud functions that reflect the changes in the database and move it to Alolia.

The indexing speed for extensive scale data was super fast, and the search yield accurate results almost right away.

Also, the tutorials on the web were helpful, and I understood that a large community uses this product, and I am in the right way. Also, the firebase official docs recommend using this tool for this specific problem that I was facing.

All of that - but the best part is the low amount of code you need to deploy and maintain to get this result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free tier is very generous, but some clients needed more time and large-scale opportunities to see the system in action on live production data.

Also, sometimes the customer raised concern about having two sets of databases, one for search and one for operations, as to migrate the existing one to Aloliga was a big task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algolia provides a full full-text search service. Beside other search technologies that require an infrastructure, Algolia has everything ready to be used. You only have to define the content, and the rest of the solutions "just works" instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. It is great from everything possible angle. You have widgets and libraries to cover everything you can ask and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to create an Algolia account, easy to implement and test it and superobust and scalable. There is basically no limit to what you can do. The onboarding was really smooth and self explanatory. The flexibility of Algolia is perfect. The analytics dashboard is great and offer deep insights about our business. It's super easy to update your indexes and very safe for our data. There are a lot of ressources availables to create the right search tool for our activity. The safety of Algolia is great and it makes sure nobody can steal your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, to be honest, I like it all. I'm an Algolia fan. I don't see anything that is not useful and needs to improve for the time being. So keep going, Algolia; you're doing good! I can't wait to see what's coming next in the future releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The almost no time when performing a search and the automatic pre-flight request with the most searched terms. With that, the user has the best experience ever

The fact that you can have insights for the searches performed by users and based on that you can tailor the results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation on React implementation could be a little bit more updated to the current versions. For example, using hooks instead of classes and have more configuration options for styling and custom components

It will be nice to have a sandbox where you can test new implementations, for the moment I'm using a different index with a _dev on the name. Having multiple envoirments or a sandbox will help a lot during development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An experienced Javascript developer integrated the Algolia search engine integration into the Jenkins plugins site. The implementation was smooth. It continues to provide valuable results.

We review the most widely used search terms and the searches that return no results. Those results have helped us improve the content and the structure of the site. We've used search results to refine our documentation development plans.

We used Algolia DocSearch for the Jenkins documentation site (www.jenkins.io). We made a few simple changes to our base page and the search integration was complete. No Javascript development skills were required. We pasted their examples into our base page. It worked. We've been delighted with the DocSearch experience for users and documentation maintainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've not yet found a way to tune or optimize the DocSearch results. We're not seeing the same reports from DocSearch as we receive from the integration that was done for the Jenkins plugins site. We'd love to have more ways to understand what users are seeking on the documentation site and more ways to tune the experience for those users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
