I love the speed of search, especially the ability to run performant queries on each keystroke. This is the type of feature you expect when you use a search service like Google, so delivering a similar, intuitive experience to users is a major boost to a website's User Experience.
I first discovered Algolia via the GatsbyJS ecosystem and React documentation websites, so I was pleased to discover that there are well documented / widely adopted plugins available for easy integration with my existing projects.
It's also extremely easy to create a search index both at build time in the project's code or through the Algolia dashboard. I used to struggle with this process when I tried other local search solutions. Algolia is every developer's dream for interactive site search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found the documentation for React in particular to be very challenging. I think the team at Algolia could do a better job explaining each component and showing relevant examples. It took me much longer than it should have to troubleshoot basic API challenges.
I have also experienced problems with the API querying more times than my search component renders. It would be great if Algolia offered more insight on optimizing usage to prevent behavior like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was searching for a fast module that could easily integrate with my personal React-GatsbyJs website, that could integrate with Contentful and update searchable material via webhooks; Gatsby docs make the overall process easy for me and for my development team, in addiction Algolia platform is easy to use and it's the best described module to integrate.

I don't find many dislikes about Algolia, because the Free tier is made for someone like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed at which a search operation executes, along with all the linked aspects that broadens the concept of universal unified search in order to provide great User Experience! The product's landing page is one of the best I have seen to date since it clearly explains the search powers when clicked on the search bar on the homepage to get on the demo search portal in order to get hands-on experience with it. Simply put, Algolia is one of the best search experience providers that totally builds on and aims to provides one of the best user experiences out there when it come to search platforms/ tools or APIs.

I guess they should also have a WordPress plugin since WP is one of the most widely used CMS platforms. Adding a plugin to Wordpress library will help Algolia and most global users to expand the search experience using Algolia for any one's platform/ website or their product. Also, the product should provide an in-built search bar generator tool that can then be embedded on to any website at any section of the page which will be very helpful for non-coder or new users who aren't very friendly with the development environment. WYSIWYG editor or search bar generator and styling tool can help a lot in integrating to small scale static websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to create and manage indexes, many features and great documentation. Also very good support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Control panel sometimes has me lost. A bit on the complicated side, but then again there are so many customisable features... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to load data to, many SDKs available, easy to configure, reliable service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The use case we have is a bit odd for Algolia so I keep explaining to stakeholders the design decisions we made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search results are accurate and are fast. The analytics for what queries are not getting results and what documents get the most hits is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way that the system computes how many credits you are using is pretty confusing. Better clarity around how credits are counted would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease and efficiency of the system, in adittion to its speed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't really dislike anything about Algolia. But I think the NEW payment system they implemente is a bit hard to digest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the simplicity of this product and the way it uses recommended design patterns underneath the hood. Plus the control you have on your dashboard is simply amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had some issues with error handling. I think it can be done without the developer having to write extra code for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
