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?

Response time when I type a keyword in the search input Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I currently feel that there is no downside of using algolia as long as my data is safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I had a document searching functionality to be implemented in my project. I stored all the content of my document in the my local database but when it came for searching a keyword from the stored content in the database I lagged the response timing as it was not very fast. I resolved this issue when I used algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Algolia doesn't support old frameworks, like angularJS, the one we are using. We still have legacy javascript available, but still, it's not the same :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Great documentation, great explanation of the technology they developed and how it works. Really nice explanation of how they approach high availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Very little downsides. Some implementations can become costly, but this one was not. We really appreciate the development time that went into the Shopify app. Most people just make an app in the Shopify store and leave it, aloglia actually put considerable time into the app and has done a really nice job of improving the app over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Best enterprise-ready solution for Shopify. We like it much better than our current solution. It is lightning fast. Orders of magnitude faster than our current solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving for e-commerce search. Our existing solution had many reliability problems. Greater reliability is the biggest upside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use API, with Algolia we are able to delegate all our resources to be indexed, which makes the performance of our application faster. This not only provides for developer experience but also the overall user experience of our end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Well, till now I am yet to run into something I don't enjoy with the Algolia API. The basic/free trial limits could be extended though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're building a fashion marketplace for emerging brands in Ghana, We were looking for a scalable and easy to use solution to provide a much more robust search for better user experience. Algolia checks all our boxes by providing an API very friendly for our engineers and also the performance of our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Incredibly fast search; fantastic developer support and documentation; some really great out of the box options as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Non tech users may have trouble customizing themselves without dev help beyond basic settings if they use a plug and play app (of which there are many for Algolia -- they work great and are well documented, but someone wanting to do a lot of customizations themselves without technical know how may require a developer). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have universal search experiences for our clients that pull in from multiple platforms like Zendesk, Shopify, WordPress, and more and work on both web and native mobile apps. Algolia delivers results insanely fast and makes developing all of these elements out easy and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algolia just work perfectly, there is almost nothing to say:

- easy to install

What do you like best about Algolia?

The software fulfill all the requirements for web searching purposes, has an optimal use of digital resources who helps a lot in the performance during the use of the software in the computer. The results for the searching process were outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

I'll prefer a cleaner user interface, the current one is useful but it can be more friendly with the end-user. Also the learning curve for the software it's quite rude, it can be easier to use with a friendly interface and tutorials or hints. Also the cost/benefit it's quite low due the prices for the service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Highly recommended. If you are looking for an advance web search tool, this product can ease your efforts and will fulfill your requirements.

Taking into account the cost/benefit related with this product, we think this is a good investment for any research project (which is the one we did) but also requires a high budget for implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used Algolia search engine app to provide search solutions to our clients in real estate market, increase the amount of properties in our clients radar range Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia was easy to integrate, and their platform makes it easy to customize the search experience based on our product and customer needs. We had originally built our own search experience but found that transitioning over to Algolia gave us the ability to constantly be delivering an excellent experience to users without needing to maintain the search technology on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

As a business owner, I haven't run into any downsides yet but admittedly the engineers on my team would be more prepared to comment on any details of the integration or maintenance process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are allowing media buyers to discover and browse their purchase options much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
