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.

Algolia has easy implementation and easy data management. The searching is fast and it allows your users to find things quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything that I dislike yet. Pricing is good and worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Easiest search api out there. Everything else is harder to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We allow users to search for careers, skills, open jobs, and projects internally at their company that they work at. We needed an easy search api so that employees could find opportunity. Algolia enables users to quickly find what they need. Additionally, the analytics gives us insight on what and how people search so that we can constantly improve our searching. Also, there are so many packages offered in terms of replication to make sure that data isn't lost. There is a huge community too around using their plugins like instantsearch that will help you really get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

The amount of work that goes into maintaining and publishing Developer-focus documentation is great. Integrating was super simple because of how well they know how to speak to technical people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Maintaining configuration sync amongst indices is not easy. I have many indices that all need to work in the same way (prioritization, synonyms, etc), and they each need to be configured and updated individually. Having common index configuration that can be shared is something that you can only do programatically, but this means you can no longer use the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Algolia:

Use the Free Trial, you have nothing to lose. You can probably get an MVP up and running in a matter of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ecomm search in a luxury retail startup was not our first concern. We spend time on curating vintage products, photography, and focusing on brick-and-mortar stores. Sync'ing our product catalog up with Algolia and implementing their front-end JS helper meant we got up and running with instant search across our entire catalog in a matter of hours.
