Algolia search is good overall

  • February 23, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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)
What problems is the product 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%.

Algolia is the best search engine functionality provider

  • December 19, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the best part of Algolia is that it integrates with various platforms and frameworks, including popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress and Shopify.
What do you dislike about the product?
after all, Algolia is a powerful and reliable search engine as a service that is suitable for a variety of applications and websites. However, it may not be the best fit for projects with a large amount of data or those that require offline functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its fast search capabilities are achieved through a distributed search network and real-time indexing, which helped me in my medium-scale project and for search index, it is beneficial to me.

Enterprise grade powerful search engine

  • December 14, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Following are the best things about Algolia

1) Easy to integrate - as Algolia comes with SDK for multiple languages
2) Search Insight- It also tells about searches that did not have results.
3) Ranking and sorting - You can customize search with different facets
4) Extensive documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
There is literally nothing I can think of. Algolia fits 100% with our use case and fulfills our all the requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Algoli as a primary internal search engine in one of our projects, And we need Insights into what people are searching for the most. Algolia does an excellent job solving this problem for us and provides us with valuable insights.

A “unicorn” with zero customer support. Lol

  • December 10, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The product itself is excellent- when it works.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no customer support, so when things go wrong you wait days for a response. Also their billing platform is buggy af, and has no notifications. So your service can be cutoff without warning, even when it's their fault for lack of adequate error detection systems.
It would be fine if there was a support team to swiftly respond and resolve issues, but there isn't, so lack of infrastructure and lack of support is a double whammy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Search and Recommendation for users, obviously. Improve product discovery, shorten time to checkout.
(Typing more text here to it reach the character threshold.)

The most powerful internal search engine

  • November 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Query rules in Algolia allow you to improve the relevancy of results. Instant search provides fast results to the users. You can build multiple indices and facets, providing multiple options for admin users to implement merchandising strategies around profitability.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a large number of SKUs in your product catalogue, it can take quite a while for Algolia to index all the product data. The premium plans is quite expensive as well if you have less than 400 orders a month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia enables e-commerce retailers to control the merchandising of their products better. Creating rules is easy in Algolia. The platform has multiple options and variables that can be used to create those rules.

Developer-friendly but also has Non-Developer capabilities

  • November 03, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The robustness of the indexing, particularly the synonyms. Analytics are precise and manual adjustments to common searches is literally drag and drop. The ability to tweak your algorithm as you view analysis is unique to Algolia.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the initial indexing does take some time and developer know-how, but it is a manageable task for most developers who are familiar with your technology stack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have both a product index for ecommerce as well as a large database of locations and Algolia allows us to keep those indexes separate to manage the rank of the results, but we can also combine them for a mega search experience.

  • October 26, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Quick onboarding, minimal tech implementation for integration and ease of usage, alongside providing a cleaner support for the Ops and Configuration teams for enhancing the search results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise license is a lot more powerful and Algolia lacks in providing strong Foundational support for an early or non-enterprise licenses, this impacts the search quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A very strrong Search implementation usig Algolia without investing too much on nitty gritties and ES/Solr impkementaion, helped invest energies rightly and help Ops with right configutaions support

I would recommend Algolia for friends and colleagues, as my experience was absolutely wonderful

  • September 05, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The back office especially is easy to handle. Also, there is an academy for beginners who want to level up their skills :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say that there are some points to review rather than things that i dislike about Algolia. Until now, the tool is really helpful and brings excellent data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algolia solves problems related to search and data, but also problems regarding the search speed. In my job, that is really important to have access to this data, and help users use the search bar in a correct way.

Flexible and easy to integrate API/SDK, powerful tool with good support

  • September 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps with providing users with the best User Experience during search interaction on the main website and allowed us to handle a lot of queries with different sets of filters as well as sorting and suggestions behind the scene.
Algolia helped replace native WordPress search and allowed me to expand it with our main search database to provide users with product suggestions based on the typed text on a company blog, which one place a big part for us.
