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?

A simple & a powerful e-merch tool : Visual and accessible without technical knowledge to e-merch teams. Allows you to implement any strategy: boost / bury / pin /... with an highly efficient preview that eliminates the need to publish on the site to validate changes (time-saving for e-merch team)

Adapts to existing product content quality : The technical setup permit to offer a high-performance search solution that immediately adapts to the quality of existing product content, even if the quality of the content is not perfect.

Technically easy to implement : Very well documented, available in all major current technologies, with time-saving implementation for developpers thanks to libraries.

A SAS solution: ALGOLIA takes care of product upgrades, so there's no need for in-house development. This guarantees that you'll always have the best solution on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

You have no control over the product roadmap. It evolves in the same way for all customers. You can't ask for specific developments.

Recognition and management of equivalences between units of measurement is complicated and could be better managed natively in the product.

No front end user experience template out of the box, you have to develop everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the BtoB, products are technical and the terms used are often very different from the user's natural language, making it impossible to find the product the user is looking for, which is very frustrating for the user and bad for the business.Thanks to analytics and features based on machin leaning that suggest synoms, it's now possible for e-merch teams to take action. It's the search engine that adapts to the user's language, not the user who has to understand how the company calls the product on the website to use the right term and succeed in finding it.
