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?

I love how fast the team was able to get search working in our product. It doesn't take long and there are a lot of built-in out of the box features you can roll with. We opted for the custom API driven use which still didn't take long and then to customize was very simple. The reports are really cool and we look forward to the future expansion and personalization features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

There isn't too much to not like. I guess the only thing that has me worried is the cost at scale but for our application, that shouldn't be a problem cause the more searching the more revenue it should generate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

I recommend giving it a try as it will save you time and money implementing something on your own. It has very powerful features and the time you save and features you have access to will be worth the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using it to help fit our customers into the right product. We have over 500 SKU's and getting the customer the product they are looking for quickly and easily would normally be a challenge but we just dumped in everything to Algolia and then built some facets around it and it's a great solution and took our small team no time to implement.
