It's hosted, flexible, and scales very well. It's what ElasticSearch should have been. You can throw pretty much whatever data you'd want to at it, and figure out the indexing later. Facets make searching very slick, and the fact that it's hosted means I simply don't need to worry about Indexing.
Anyone who doesn't use Algolia is just living in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can get expensive, but still not as expensive as running OS software on AWS. The only *feature* issues we've had is that it doesn't let you perform cross-index searches. In our specific use-case, we have to duplicate data into multiple indexes because we want customer-specific data (restricted to specific customers of ours) along with our specified data in the same search.
It also requires a separate index for each sort order. That means no ad-hoc sorting (you can't specify to return results in a specific order at search time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia represents a huge advance compared to our Ecommerce site's original search tool. It delivers much more refined and relevant search results nearly instantaneously, making the shopper's experience much more productive and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's so highly technical that I must involve our web developer to implement almost any tweak to search logic, other than some basic stuff I can accomplish on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I worked on an iOS project with Algolia. It fetches the results super fast. Query settings are a bit tricky but once you figure out, it's super useful and customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way to set up differs version to version, so it sometimes unknowingly breaks if you blindly update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Java, JavaScript, Ktlin and Zendesk are just some of the solutions with which I have an excellent integration with Algolia, there are many more integration options that I am currently working with and I can continue adding many more integrations without problems, I just need to send a message to the support of Algolia and they kindly provide me with the tools to integrate them. By requesting support help I can complete the most complex tasks in just a few minutes or depending on the complexity of the integration in a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They must add many more customization features and they must modernize their platform, sometimes I dislike their outdated look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


The variety of details that allow me to configure the search filter amazes me. The documentation is extensive and precise at the same time, it has very relevant details such as those of the configuration that help me to have a better search system. Algolia is what I was looking for, I can reach my goals in just a few months after implementing it, we are in constant communication with the technical service and I can say that they respond in a short time and with solutions, this is fantastic.

My doubts with Algolia were due to the price, I had a negative opinion regarding the price and with the short free trial of only 14 days. The 14-day test is too short to determine the most relevant functions with a lot of criteria, we take many risks and this is a disadvantage. Although I think we made a good decision, it is necessary that the free trial be much longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Search results are incredibly fast. Setup was fairly straight forward and didn't take very long. The re-indexing speed is also very good. Pricing is fair, overall its a pretty damn impressive service and I'm looking forward to implementing it on other projects in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with anything new there's terminology which can be a little bit confusing at first. The documentation took a few reads until the information and processes stuck with me. Other than that there's nothing to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
