Very powerfull and complete search engine

  • July 21, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of all coded or even by plugging it into your PLC system.
The almost infinite possibilities are offered by the software to have a result as close as possible to reality.
The fact that a sales representative from Algolia came to explain to us in more detail the possibilities and the functioning of the software (even if it would have been preferable for a technique from Algolia to explain the possibilities of the API).

The possibility of testing the paid features for a while is also a plus, however if I would have known the complexity of use via API, I might have waited before being able to take advantage of this offer (an informational text is not available). would not be too much).
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation is unstructured. For a developer who wants to use your solution from A to Z, the documentation is too exhaustive and focuses more on the points that can be proposed by the Agoraio development team

The integration complexity of an interface preferred for research which is not documented or if it is it is very difficult to find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I could group all my content which is managed from the front on a database which then allows me to do relevant research.
In addition, the fact of using Algolia and better understanding it opens doors for us to use it for our future customers, whether for E-commerce or research in very dense documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is a really complete solution that offers a lot of ways to use search. However, if you are developer and only work on a front-end environment, take the time to fully understand the API system and the subtleties blocking specific points.

The get started setup, search algorithm, and its configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not found such thing that I donkt like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needle search in the haystack. Algolia gives excellent performance and efficiency in terms of cost and time.

Great service, takes the stress away from search and helps improve user engagement with ease

  • July 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple API, which is quick and easy to pick up. Adding items to Indices and is instantly available for search. Having the ability to update single values in the object allows for quick safer updates. Support staff are friendly and knowledgeable, which is always a bonus. The API has a very powerful query language which makes it much simplier to build up the right results which are relevant to the area which I am trying to get the user to focus.

Being able to see what users have searched for is a big plus area for us. We can use this data to better refine our data and see areas which our supporters are showing interest in. This in turn helps improve user engagement.
What do you dislike about the product?
When making changes in the dashboard, it is possible to update based on a previous version of the object. You need to ensure manually that the object is at the latest version before editing. While this has caught me out a couple of times overall, there is not much to dislike about the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to add search to an in-house donation platform, plus give aggregated data to the user quickly and efficiently. As I built up the platform's integration to Algolia, the benefits became more and more evident.

Since the first implementation, we are now looking at expaning the usage to our main website and importing our articles for searching and generating results for related content. We have been able to identify that by using Algolias machine language learning on our data will vastly improve site visitor engagement.

Did you know that you could use Algolia as a data storage for your small projects?

  • July 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast performance and easy integration make this service a perfect alternative for the data storage layer in any small app or website. Ready-to-use libraries from .NET to Node.js simplifies the usage, and the standard REST API enables you to use it from practically anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
When developing on the local machine, it might take hundreds of calls to the API, which comes out of the quota. Local emulators would help. Although it is possible to create search requests with authentication filters to make sure users get only permitted results, this whole process could be simplified. For instance, today, it requires me to have some server in the middle to generate the token, and if it were part of the Algolia services, it would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Can use it from simple data storage solution to adding a powerful search experience to end-users and all this from the same index.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For small-medium projects, it can be an excellent service to store data and then use search tools to query it.

Fast, Efficient Offloading of Search

  • July 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia handles all the indexing of products in real-time, removing a potential server load item that can negatively impact performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
A Woocommerce extension used to be available in the past but has stopped development. It would be great to have this extension available again to make the build process quicker and easier for any users who may be non-developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster website performance, and massively improved search functionality, including ajax real-time search results and typo handling. Advanced filtering for ignoring specific pages you want excluded from the search index is also an excellent feature. Offloading of the indexing of data with a fairly hands-off approach is acheiveable once setup correctly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Developer knowledge is a huge help in setting up and using Algolia. Also, a robust taxonomy on your website before implementing Algolia will ease the pulling of key data points for the search index.

If you want fast search / filtering experience on your website, without too much of a hustle, wiling to pay for the service - Algolia is n1 choice.

Algolia usage on E-commerce website for Search Optimisation

  • July 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Search results on the website can be optimised for customers; we can see search results and curate products accordingly. Can update ranking and also see most viewed products. Once enabled facets can also be enabled and disabled from the Algolia panel itself. Also all the documentation for the initial setup was very clear and easy to understand. We have no trouble understanding the API documentation and the support from the team was also very good in cases when we had doubts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial integration is a little tricky, needs good development support for integration into the existing website. But overall not a challenge; the website is currently running smoothly. Adding and removing facets is not very straightforward as we need an extra step to remove them. Another suggestion is to provide more reports and data, which we can further use to help with conversions. The current dashboard is also a bit cluttered. For developers, it is okay, for an end-user like a E-Commerce Manager, access to dashboards which can show straight-forward buttons and also reports which show insights can be of much help as they can then use the same data for making business decisions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Search results used to be a mess before Algolia; now, it's very optimized for the customer; we have a much deeper understanding of the customer data and can curate products for them in search. Better search results for the customers lead to better product visibility that the customers want and better conversion rates. We are only into 40 days of use of Algolia on the current website; already we see good conversion rates, we will be able to tell more in the coming months on the same
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initial implementation is tricky, but the product definitely has it benefits, you'll be able to see better conversion rates and happier customers once you start using the product.

Fast, customizable and rich yet simple

  • July 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is undoubtedly blazing fast and allows for fine-tuning and many customizations.
Getting started is simple, and thanks to their well-written documentation, the learning curve is relatively shallow.
We also appreciated their "Inside the Algolia Engine" engineering blog series, which helped me grasp some more information about how they can do what they do and why some limitations exist.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had an hard time working around the records length limitation.
We do understand and share the opionion of Algolia engineers that indexing very long documents would worsen the relevance at search time.
However, some use cases require them and we think users should be allowed - at their own risk and cost - to index long documents.
For example, we found faceted search very limited when documents are splitted, and this prevented us from implementing few requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are implementing instant search on a newspaper-like service.
Algolia helped us creating a great user experience, mainly thanks to its Vue components.
Our most important requirements were typo tolerance and faceted search.
Typo tolerance is excellent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We found Algolia to be best suited to specialized search domains.
Take your time figuring out how to best structure records.
Algolia is very powerful and customizable. However, faceting is still a bit immature in our opinion, so it's not suited for too complex search requirements.

Quick, out-of-the-box search and easy API integration for WordPress

  • July 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm using Algolia to index my blog post (both Hebrew and English)
I was amazed at how quickly everything word, starting from indexing to on-site integration.
The search results are quick, relevant, and support many types of Typos

Easy to seperate between indices
Analytics and query reports are really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing could be a bit heavy for non-professional users. If you need to cross to the more advanced payments tiers, it could get quite expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
quick search, typo correction, no-code and no-infra solution for search.
Wordpress default search is quite bad and doesn't support any form of modern search.
I wanted a solution with no additional infra costs, and without setting up my own Elasticsearch cluster.
Algolia solved it perfectly.

Best in class tool to optimize site search, on site merchandising and user experience

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can categorize Algolia's strengths in two primary areas:

1. Algolia's engaged account management and product support are above and beyond other players in the space. This is absolutely integral in being able to implement, manage and optimize the use of their platform.
2. Algolia's commitment to ongoing product enhancements and innovation ensure our organization that we are partnered with a company that is positioned to support our continual growth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Your team will need to have an understanding of coding as their platform does not fully support management by the business, digital marketing, or merchandising teams with some level of support from a developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved onsite merchandising and optimization on product listing pages, within site search and menus driving improved KPIs, (CTA, Bounce, CR), and better user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to consider all aspects relating to your on-site merchandising before selecting just any next-generation solution to support your site search. Algolia is exceptionally well set up to not only provide all tools and functionality needed to support and optimize your customer experience, but they are also committed to ensuring that your team is well versed in using their platform to drive performance. Algolia is best in class in this area.
