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.

Fast, on-page results, auto indexing, ease of use to setup and configure. Set and forget searching/indexing. Friendly team behind the product.

So happy I found Algolia. Previously was using Google custom search, but Algolia is so much better, faster and has a much better on-page interface. It's fast, auto indexes and does the job perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Full indexing and search for a large documentation site. Users can quickly search and see results on the same page, without having to navigate to another page. Search results are listed in the context of the page/topic that they're associated with, which is brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Extremely fast - the results come in with a minimal latency after searching thousands of records. For small projects, this is ideal to use as data storage. The Free tier is very generous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Lack of data export from UI (although very quickly done via code). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Seamless integration with existing tools. I can import searchable data from other data sources via simple SDK. I loved that I spent very little time learning the SDK and instead focused on my requirements only. The management UI is fantastic! Everything just works, very smoothly and responsivley.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The search experience is amazing.. no crash related to that.. the weekly insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

The pricing to be honnest.. being billed to the greatest number between search requests and records is a little bit too much.. we use algolia to search users by name.. we aim for millions of users so the price keeps scaling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

I say if you can afford it go for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Because we use firebase.. which doesn't support full text search algolia has helped by allowing typo tolerance.. case insensitivity.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

I really like the simplitity of algolia. It is easy to use and implement in various scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Now, after using Algolia for some time, there isn't much that I don't like. But one thing was a bit confusing at first for me: The Unit system. It was first hard to understand for me, that these units are used for both search querys and index records. Maybe a bit clearer description would be helpful there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest benefit I have over other solutions (for example ElasticSearch) is, that there are official, first-party search UI frameworks. Others have something simmilar as well, but by far not so feature rich. Especially React InstantSearch was a big time saver implementing search in our project.

A sandbox for work in a local/dev environment that would not affect the production usage quota would be great if available. Currently, all usages get added up in the same quota. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am getting super fast search Results for an e-commerce site. The over developing time for implementing a search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
