"Easy to implement for technical teams and intuitive to use for e-merch teams."
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.
