We love that it's crazy fast- it's a party trick when we show folks. The results are instantaneous and make our entire site feel faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing is hard to measure as we grow. While I get sent a lot of information weekly, I can't make sense of how that relates to our traffic. I also find it hard to understand how it works with our caching on our managed hosting. When we have an issue on the site, it's hard to understand where the issue is.

I love the fact that,at its premise, it's simply fast search over small JSON payloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting some of the finer details to work can be really tricky. The size limitations is a big sticking point, and breaking up larger objects into a single entity feels like something that should be managed within the SDK itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setup & configuration was accomplished in an afternoon
You get instant feedback / results
No need to hire resources & spend time on infra to support lighting quick searches
The extra analytics about what was searched on is also great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It requires some thought and/or additional dev work to work around how the pricing model is defined in operations (i.e. when we need to refresh the index data). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not a developer, but my team had a pretty much hustle free time implementing the software and get it running in 2 different applications. As we are only a very small team, time to market is very critical. The WOW effect kicks in when you start the search and get the instant results in a matter of a blink. The true beauty unfolds as you can easily modify the search in the Admin Dashboard. So you don't have to bother your developers any more. The application is reasonable priced and I can not image how we would do without it. We had a custom build search implemented in our application but those are anything near of what Algolia is capable of. The user experience on http://www.solartraders.com for our customers is on another level now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe the could refine a bit the dependencies of the filters.
Apart from it I don't have many recommendations as the experience is a fantastic one so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to use and plenty of SDKs are provided so there's is one for everyone. Setup and configuration are done through a clear dashboard which also offers great insights into search performance.
Search results are being delivered instantaneously. They're so fast that using a search index for search query completion is working perfectly.
The pricing is very reasonable. For testing and small volume sites, there is even a free tier.
Support also is great. The turnaround for a fix in one of the provided SDKs was less than 24h. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing that I truly dislike about algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia is easy to set up and customize for your individual needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was a little disappointed that they are no longer supporting the Jekyll plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used various search systems including Sphinx, Solr, direct DB integrations etc. but nothing has been as robust and performant as Algolia. It just works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this time we have nothing to critique as it's perfect for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
