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?

Performance! It's where Algolia shines, they can deliver p99 < 10ms response times, the search experience feels instant, making a huge difference for our customers.

They have many available SDKs for all sorts of clients which makes it very easy to integrate with web and mobile apps.

Another great feature is the geo-replication where you can deploy your data to more datacenters and make the search faster all over the world, be aware that this cost extra though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Pricing. For an early stage and growing startup it can be challenging to pay their price. We have to constantly purge old records and optimize our systems to decrease the number of operations which causes some extra development overhead for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're using Algolia to power all of our search: from sports events calendar to digital asset management. With Algolia our customers can have a centralized view of their assets and it becomes searchable instantly, streamlining their content distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia gives me a far better search product than one I could engineer myself, and I had it up and running in a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

The terminology they use in the dashboard can be confusing at first. Luckily, I spend very little time in the dashboard, so it isn't a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

If you're considering building your own custom in-house search solution, don't even bother unless you're enterprise scale. Even then, you should weigh the pros and cons of having an internal team build and maintain a project. Algolia is so easy, I will be hard-pressed to ever walk away from it, even if it starts costing a lot of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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