Meilisearch Pros and Cons

Meillisearch helps our users find what they need in our huge assets library every day. It's really easy to maintain and update, and the support is so reactive! We implemented the new AI feature search, and it works like a charm. Thanks to it, we got internationalized content out of the box.

Performance-wise, I'm impressed by the speed of indexing our data, as we sometimes republish all our assets at once.

At Rayon we really enjoy using meillisearch and hope to work with it as much as possible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall it's still improving but the admin dashboard sometimes lacks some clarity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Meilisearch has been a great tool to work with. It’s really easy to use, and the setup process is straightforward, which saved me a lot of time. The documentation is clear, so I didn’t have to spend hours figuring things out.

I’ve also had a really good experience with their support team. They’re quick to respond and genuinely helpful, which makes a big difference when you’re troubleshooting or trying to get something specific to work.

In terms of performance, it’s fast and handles searches and indexing smoothly, even with larger datasets. It’s been reliable and does exactly what I need it to do.

Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a simple and efficient search solution with great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I think could be improved is the dashboard. While it works fine for basic needs, it could be a bit more sophisticated with additional features or tools to manage indexes more effectively.

Another concern is the recent changes in pricing. For those with large indexes but lower usage, the new pricing model might not feel as fair or cost-effective, which could make it harder to justify for certain projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any product, there are areas that can be improved and features that are still lacking, although there is nothing to specifically dislike. Our main concern lies in the Cloud deployment and management UI, as it does't provide insights on search requests, such as response times and top queries, it does't automatically generate a suggestions index for an autocomplete experience and lacks integration with observability platforms like Datadog. However, it is worth noting that there is an experimental feature in place for the Metrics API, even though not yet available on the Cloud at the time of writing.
