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.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia provides a simple yet comprehensive solution to content and product search. The adoption is fairly easy, and there are multiple ways to integrate a client's corporate or ecommerce website with Algolia. We have used Algolia on multiple client projects, each with slightly different use case, but found algolia's solution to be flexible and easy to implement in each case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

There is little to dislike about Algolia's solution - they tick all the boxes for use cases that we deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Algolia offers a hosted SaaS search solution for both content and product search. These are the two primary use cases we encounter as an agency. It excels in both use cases.

On the content search side - it offers easy integration with website built using any CMS system. On the product search - it offers a UI toolkit for displaying Text Search, Facets, Filters, Sorting and Pagination capabilties. This toolkit is open source so our developers can extend it and make modifications as necessary. On the merchandising side, it offers business users with an ability to change the ranking of certain products manually, based on business situations like slow moving inventory, discontinuation of certain products, or driving higher sales through better positioning of best-seller products.

What do you like best about Algolia?

As a user of Algolia for our company's e-commerce website, there are several aspects I really appreciate. First and foremost, the quick and accurate search results significantly enhance the user experience for our customers. The speed at which search queries are processed and the precision of the results make it an invaluable tool for our business.

Additionally, the search endpoint provided by Algolia is straightforward and easy to implement. This simplicity has made it much easier for our development team to integrate and maintain the search functionality on our site without any major hurdles.

Furthermore, the reliability of Algolia has been outstanding. Since we started using it, we haven't experienced any significant issues or downtime, which is crucial for the consistent operation of our e-commerce platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

While my overall experience with Algolia has been very positive, I am anticipating one upcoming feature. Currently, syncing our products between our MySQL database and Algolia via the API can be quite time-consuming and complex. Algolia's "MySQL connector" feature, which is still in beta, looks promissing to simplify this process significantly. While it's not yet officially supported, I'm looking forward to its official release. The anticipation for this feature to become official is my only minor concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Algolia has been simplifying our search functionality. Instead of building a search algorithm from scratch, which can be quite complex, we use Algolia. It handles the job very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia delivers fast, quality results and the WordPress plugin, offered by a third-party developer on wordpress.org, makes it possible to install this on any WordPress site with relative ease. The Algolia team provides support as well, though of course they won't build your search experience for you without an additional support plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I am unable to tweak much about the search experience without hiring a developer. Even the developers we have hired were unable to configure Algolia to take advantage of the site's custom fields and weighting preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were using an excellent WordPress self-hosted search plugin (paid) but that ran on our own server. Algolia takes the load on their own servers and comes with some pre-built filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Agolia has a very helpful support team that was able to provide us with answers and reasons why certain things may not have lived up to our expectations. They also were able to work closely with our tech team for smoother implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I did not find the site that easy to navigate and it was difficult to find new categories that we created in Magento. We also had a plethora of bugs on our site that Algolia was supposed to fix but the timeframe of fixing it was longer than expected. I also need to use Algolia for link redirects but whenever i would follow the instructions on doing so, it never worked on site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Algolia has greatly helped our filtering on site. For months our filtering and sorting was not working but the Algolia team along with our tech team was able to get it working. This positively impacted our customer site experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The User Interface is very simple and intuitive, which makes the integration process very smooth. The concepts being used are also easy to understand, very quicly you can push data and start to play and implement integration with any kind of front end or backend technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I think one area of improvement could be the Search API Logs, the User interface for this screen is not really easy to use or to find things, maybe better search capabilities could be very helpful to debug issues and find things faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Store and access data easily and very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
