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.

How easy it was to integrate to our docs. Docusaurus supports algolia and many other services support algolia out of the box for indexing. It's also free so it saved a lot of time for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

For free there wasn't a way to make algolia work offline out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to integrate and get setup with, it makes getting indices up and running much quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Unfortunately the open-source account doesn't always link things up correctly in Algolia's dashboard, which makes it slightly difficult to research specifics.

I wish we could purge data before our official release date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely give it a try! We're happy with the choice we made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is pretty simple to set up as no work is required from our end and it provides some pretty good search terms. In almost all cases, very little modification is required in Algolia to work with the quest and output monitor. It has great functions and handles incorrect requests, which are the major reasons we have selected this service instead of using another one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

A greater degree of personalization is necessary in Algolia. When it comes to pricing, this is a very costly option in comparison to other tools. I know company plans are always evolving, but my project nearly doubled overnight in cost. Instead of independently evaluating every factor, the rating is limited to priority factors. Also, Algolia does not support iOS or Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Algolia is suitable for platforms like e-commerce, where the buyers have a great variety of products, but it may also be beneficial for browsing and information bases. If you've got a committed developer with the technical expertise to delve deeply into the documents of Algolia, then you will get the best out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

All of our search features can be found through Algolia on our app or toolbar across the web. Algolia helped us to give our customers only the answers they searched for in a few nanoseconds as the search rate was a glaring problem and is one of the main weaknesses on our website. Algolia is also used for our quest for auto feedback and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia has good tech assistance, lots of documentation and plugins of excellent quality. Network channels and several data centers have been installed in our business to make Algolia even more power. It is difficult to believe that it operates so quickly even when it's working with large amounts of data on a web server. Also, the authentication and set up process is pretty simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

In Algolia, it can be challenging to customize the reaction packages and to send requests. The first time I've tried to adjust an index I was a bit frustrated as Algolia's characteristics took way too much time to load. But the main obstacle with Algolia is to develop the look of the UI, which I think should be improved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Algolia is ideal for teams with no architectural understanding to develop their own browse solutions, as it concentrates on API and SSL Hardware encryption. Also, it is well adapted for the absence of quest network management and for the advantage of your productivity in expending your operational cycles. Algolia can optimize its quality while keeping your budget thorough understanding of documents and frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have used Algolia in our company to scan all our customers. In our quest for various types of information, we used the efficiency and speed provided by Algolia to significantly improve the customer experience of our page. It allows users to scan for other applications and also predefined position filters we developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The speed at which search results are returned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

It can get expensive if you have a large number of records, regardless of the search volume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Keep the amount of data you store for each record as small as possible -- limiting it to only what will be searched on and displayed. To minimize costs, avoid using multiple indexes like you would multiple tables in a database. A search that uses 2 indexes will use 2 operations for every keystroke (for typeahead search). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our primary goal was enabling a search experience where the customer could search for products using natural language queries and one that could handle typos. Algolia allowed us to implement this without having to hire out for that expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia has been a great alternative to building our own search solution. It has taken care of everything we need in a search tool and it is well documented and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

It can be very expensive, especially if you need search for all your non production environments (qa, staging). You end up building your own search or disabling search to avoid going over your limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem was having a fast and easy search functionality without having to maintain it all the time. We've realized that more functionality like search can be delegated to a third party service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The API to index data and the granularity on which we can allow users to search on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Most of our clients want infinite scroll plus GeoSearch (click here for an example). The issue we have is that the map will render the result set differently depending on the position of the infinite scroll, ultimately not showing all the results available. For example: If I search and get 100 results and the hits per page is set to 50, the user will see the first 50 results on the map. Once the scroll position has loaded results 51-100, the map will only show results 51-100 and not show results 1-50. This confuses users.

Some users find it confusing when the filtered item automatically goes to the top of the list when it is refined/filtered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

For web search and a very well documented API there is no competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We solve complex search requirements for the complex commercial real estate industry. Users find the right properties using detailed search requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
