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 core search functionality is great, reliable and fast.

Their additional value add functions are good, but most are not worth the additional costs.

Admin and integration is difficult (M2) and does require technical dev/sys admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Their cost structure and quoting are smoke and mirrors and increasing rapidly.

They are making it difficult to understand, predict, manage and rolling out increasingly hostile overages.

The end goal appears to allow themselves the first glance view of being competitively priced to get you contracted in, then hit you with overage charges. They know that switching between suppliers is costly - thus most customers wont. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Great for controlling complex searches for fashion, allowing us to control results for things like newness, stock levels, discounts etc.

We also use their preview search to great effect allowing people to adjust their searches on the fly using the visual feed back of the garments.

We also inject promotional content into search eg: Search Socks and the "Socks Multibuy" banner comes up in results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
