Really easy to understand how everything works and you see the results right away on the web. Plus the support team answers really fast so i have all the answers back right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I guess it just would be nicer as a big company that we would have 1 of our own people from Algolia that will answer the questions we have and maybe give some advice as a person who knows what algolia can make with our web Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia is extremely easy to set up, manage and configure.
Excellent documentation and plenty of SDK tools to help in development.
It also has a generous free tier for hobby projects and similar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gets very pricey at scale (when you either have lots of traffic (more unlikely) or need to index a lot of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search performances are stunning!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are lot of users that would like to use algolia for booking services in a certain geographical position.
Problem is that there's no way to filter the results by their date availability.
Algolia doesn't support this use case and it is suggesting to use another database for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their main product works perfectly. But what I especially like about the company is their transparency to their customers and their engineering blogs helping others build amazing products. Reading their blog posts how they solved a complicated technical issue is a really good learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a little confusing what everything does, but you grasp it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The latency allows us to not worry about optimization and allows us to build actual applications, this was evident when we went from our custom solution which was very bulky and complex, hard to maintain, to algolia and the results were clearly in favor of algolia Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface can at times be daunting, especially in the beginning, maybe a product tour would help.
Also would love to get tips and tricks, maybe a newsletter would be nice to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy to implement complex search features, including faceting, performant autocompletion, and suggestions. The implementation is quickly done using their Instantsearch SDK. The best thing about this is that their Instantsearch SDK lets you easily override the whole Search UI to fit your brand and Components.
In my past experiences, I also used Elasticsearch, which is a great Open Source Search Solution. Although ES is very flexible, achieving the same Search Experience as Algolia is a tough road with Elasticsearch, especially for optimizing the queries and the ES architecture. It is also heavier on the maintenance side.
Algolia provides a straightforward experience and can even be easily configured by non-technical people (e.g. Synonyms configuration, ranking algorithm, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing of Algolia can be a bit steep, especially if you want autocomplete or query suggestions as you type, as each "Search Query" counts towards your quota. For this reason, several clients of my company prefer to start with "Search on Enter" instead of "Search as you type" with Algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia offers detailed documentation on every topic of its API and modules for all popular JS frameworks, making it clear to implement and fun to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve can be a little steep in the beginning, especially when you have a non-default use-case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how well it integrates with my store and line the results or gives back. It's exactly what I was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside that I can think of is as my store scales up, I'd have to pay for usage, but the great thing is that I can start low and grow as the shop grows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia is by far the best service for searching. Super easy to configure and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The new price policy i think is much more expensive. I preffer the legacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
