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 integration with Algolia search API was so easy and the documentation was extremely helpful and easy to get started.

Also, got a learning path on how does Algolia search algorithm works. There is an Algolia search academy for that!

The business representative was quick to on-board. Also, the pricing is great! Extremely economical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

The search algorithm is a black box. Had to do a lot of hit-and-trial iterations. Also, don't understand how can I fully optimise the algorithm. Would need more case studies on this (industry-specific case studies to improve search) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Search is one of the most critical features for an end-user to find out what they are looking for on any platform.

As part of this project; we have evaluated how effective our current search is. Based on the evaluation; we have found out that the relevance of the first search result for current Razorpay docs is 0.47 as compared to 0.80 for Stripe.

We evaluated a few search solutions and were able to achieve a first search relevance score of 0.87 with Algolia search API.

This project improved the relevance of our search results drastically and create a better experience for end users. The CTR of first search results improved by 10%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Algolia?

It provides many functionalities that Shopify doesn't have. Instead of reinventing the wheels I would recommend using Algolia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

It takes me some time to learn and adapt. But perhaps this is because my company has many requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Basically, Shopify provides not enough functionality for a modern e-commerce site. E.g., the tag filter logic can only support AND logic but not OR logic. Algolia helps us build a more sophisticated product filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
