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?

- Easy of use. We (2 developers) had no experience with search indexes before, but got up and running in 2 hours, backend and frontend.

- Performance. We still have few users, but searching 15k records takes 4ms on average. 40ms max.

- Pricing is OK. Other search platforms like Elastic Search will cost you less per number of records indexed, but you have to manage more stuff by yourself to keep everything in good shape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Documentation lack some real world examples and best practices, like how to keep a Postgres DB in sync with Algolia.

Free as starter tiers have low records limit (10k and 50k).

We have a few concerns about securing data. Some real case scenarios in the Docs would also help us. Like, what are the guidelines to implement Algolia to index sensitive information? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

If you need a good search and don't have the time or expertise to try Elastic Search, give Algolia a try. It's a lot better than alternatives like SQL search and very easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a SaaS and Algolia is currently being used for searching people records. Performance is great.

We intend to use it in more places in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
