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?

The best thing is the speed and relevancy of searches, the ability to handle typos in the search and still provide relevant items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

As a developer, you sometimes miss the flexibilty of being to query an SQL Database, but for most use cases Algolia is just faster than searching large indexes.

Can be pricy at scale, but also depends on the implementation, but the pros of having such fast searches balances this a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves precise search still being fasts, with a big inventory of products, with a great UX since it can handle typos and look at facets besides just the name of an item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

It is fairly easy to use, has been very reliable and has provided us with a very smart and innovative replacement for our previous services. It is very performant and has a lot of features for aggregating and ordering lists of objects that come in handy, when trying to provide the best possible UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

There was a small hiccup with one of the list ordering features, which wasn't actually solved. We contacted customer support, but they didn't take much action as it was working somewhat according to design. Maybe some of the documentation was misleading, however we managed to find a way around it pretty easily, due to the convenient API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
