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?

Algolia is so easy to use that it makes implementing enterprise search an absolute breeze. It offers us almost all of the benefits of elasticsearch, but in a turnkey solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Nothing, so far. Elasticsearch is more configurable but we find that we're happy with trading off some of that control for ease of implementation/administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're dedicated to shipping low-latency solutions throughout our product suite, so Algolia's speed, combined with things like its typo-tolerance features, makes it very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

When trying to learn about Algolia as a new customer, it is very easy to navigate their website and see clearly what their pricing and structure plans are. The implementation of it on my company website, DollarProbs.com was easy and we did not experience any major issues or bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

It would be better to see how Algolia can expand on its current sets of search API data, and be able to give more in-depth reports in its weekly usage report emails it sends out. Making it a bit easier to switch plans would be more helpful, but overall it is quite simple to find needed information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

If you need a detailed and precise search API, Algolia is a great tool that can help improve the search abilities of your website. Algolia was recommended to me first by a friend, and then after hearing it recommended again by my web team, I knew it was a worthwhile product, and has lived up to my current small business needs. It is easy to find research needed to learn more about what the product is and its potential helpful features to improve your own business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Algolia search API to help determine what users on my website are searching for, and to see what the trending words are that they are searching for so we can make them stronger keywords in our site. The Algolia features and services are plenty for my small business to handle for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is very well thought out product and it's staggering how many options they provide to customise and filter search results. Developer documentation is clear and concise and it only takes a few minutes to get up and running. Additionally tooltips are depicted next to almost all configurable options making it even easier to find the relevant documentation. Indexed results are returned almost instantly. I'm also a big fan of the browse feature, which allows you to test any configuration changes to an index without having to setup an environment.

The Algolia team are also friendly and genuinely want to help you make the most of your experience and achieve your goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Some of features we required were aimed at more of an enterprise level business, which was beyond the scope our implementation. However after chatting with their Team we were able to find a suitable workaround and achieve our goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Algolia we are using search as the primary navigation on our agency's landing page replacing the existing navigation with the aim to get users to engage more with the company and quickly find what they are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia can be used by employees or administrators of any skill level through its "beneath-the-surface" action as an effective means of web searching and connecting with those on the Internet. Implementation onto both computers and mobile phones is easy and relatively unnoticeable/not bothersome. An easy recommendation to any other potential users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Some dislikes shown by both myself and employees is the impact of Algolia on search speeds and overall RAM usage, which sometimes may impact users from full optimization of their device. Some prefer to use other outlets that do not have this issue, though, minor, and consider it a definite negative about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

I would recommend Algolia fix their current issue with decreased performance due to usage of Algolia in tandem with other programs on a single device. Offer means for users to still make use of external applications while using Algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Algolia has heightened user experience while increasing quality of effective advertising for our company through the Algolia platform. The multi-faceted tools utilized by Algolia make it an effective means to increase productivity and offer an alternative to other "name-brand" competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
