Initially, we began with a CSV-formatted database, and within a matter of days, we could effortlessly run our website with Algolia's assistance.
Recently, I was browsing the Indian website JioMart for several days and noticed certain features that appeared familiar. Upon inspecting the Chrome DevTools, I discovered that Algolia was the driving force behind its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In my opinion, certain aspects can be quite technical, and individuals with limited computer proficiency may find it challenging to acclimate to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great support team, great documentation and sdk to help implement. Intuitive modern UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It could push more USP features particularly on search. It's hard to know what you can/can't do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how fast it is. It makes search functionality really easy to implement from the UI standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's still somewhat a black box for me. I don't fully understand how data is loaded to Algolia and what functionality Algolia provides that could enhance my application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia is simple to use, manage and highly scalable.
Support is quick and responsive.
The boolean search feature is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are very less examples for different functions. This is make difficult to try out and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are several advantages of using Algolia -
1. Easy to integrate and understand.
2. Provides client side JS library to include and create a boilerplate for performing search on platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the features of Algolia, like dynamic re-ranking and artificial intelligence, are paid. Aloglia also limits the number of records you can index and can become costly very quickly if not used properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Algolia offers a modern alternative to search functionalities with easy indexing, good documentation, and typo tolerance. A significant benefit of it is that you can use it for everything and implement it with most, if not all, popular coding languages. If your project is written with PHP, JS, or even React, you can quickly pick it up and create endless possibilities. I like that it allows me to work with PHP and have the option to create UI components rapidly. Another benefit of Algolia is the huge community of developers who can help you if you struggle with something, just jump into the Algolia community forum and ask, or even tag some Algolia Team members - they're always happy to help you as long as you describe your issue properly and provide details where you stuck.

Honestly, there aren't many things that I dislike, although a recent change in the Dashboard UI made some options more difficult to access than the previous UI/UX revisions.
If you're working on some demo project, the trial will be enough, but if you start using it in some big project, your bill might be an issue, but if your website/project generates good revenue, this should pay for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
> Configurations - To configure the search logic by different attributes.
> Rules - Ability to create rules as per the customer's need and show the right results.
> AB Testing - Algolia has inbuilt AB testing which weighs it high in the market and this helps the product managers to take the right decisions using the analytics features too.
> Analytics - The analytics feature in Algolia is quite decent with detailed information and this helps us to take certain decisions and make changes in the logic of search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
> Relevancy - The relevancy of the results can be optimized much better in terms of the AI / ML / NLP tool to understand what the customer is exactly searching for and show accordingly.
> Expensive :-D yeah, it is quite expensive compared to the market and not all companies can afford the tool even if they want to.
> Customized Support: They can have dedicated account managers so that the Alogila team can analyze our integrations and performance and suggest us to use the tool to its max potential. Today this is not the case so we are probably not using it to the highest capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
