Wonderful solution to provide search in our products easy and fast

  • April 23, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplitity of algolia. It is easy to use and implement in various scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Now, after using Algolia for some time, there isn't much that I don't like. But one thing was a bit confusing at first for me: The Unit system. It was first hard to understand for me, that these units are used for both search querys and index records. Maybe a bit clearer description would be helpful there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit I have over other solutions (for example ElasticSearch) is, that there are official, first-party search UI frameworks. Others have something simmilar as well, but by far not so feature rich. Especially React InstantSearch was a big time saver implementing search in our project.

Great tool, great support and super scalable

  • April 23, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create an Algolia account, easy to implement and test it and superobust and scalable. There is basically no limit to what you can do. The onboarding was really smooth and self explanatory. The flexibility of Algolia is perfect. The analytics dashboard is great and offer deep insights about our business. It's super easy to update your indexes and very safe for our data. There are a lot of ressources availables to create the right search tool for our activity. The safety of Algolia is great and it makes sure nobody can steal your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, to be honest, I like it all. I'm an Algolia fan. I don't see anything that is not useful and needs to improve for the time being. So keep going, Algolia; you're doing good! I can't wait to see what's coming next in the future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To create my search tool with customizable parameters and collect analytics to help me grow my business.
It took us 30 minutes to be up and running. Support has been helpful and very reactive when needed. Algolia has helped us improve our user experience and scalability.

Easy to set up, generous free tier

  • April 23, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
Overal it's a very modern feeling service. Great documentation including good examples. I was up and running in about an hour, including integrating it with a static site build process and a basic front end.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far there's nothing to dislike. I'm not sure how well the pricing scales for production but for my limited traffic site it's perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a search service that I could use with a static jamstack site with no access to a database. Algol is filled that need perfectly, and at no cost for my small use case.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a test up and running with the provided code examples before trying to customize anything.

Best search for documentation sites

  • April 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast, on-page results, auto indexing, ease of use to setup and configure. Set and forget searching/indexing. Friendly team behind the product. Makes our documentation shine, by allowing users to find the information they are after. I like how the search results are presented to gives several different focussed results, without being overwhelming to the users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It does the job for everything I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full indexing and search for a large documentation site. Users can quickly search and see results on the same page, without having to navigate to another page. Search results are listed in the context of the page/topic that they're associated with, which is brilliant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So happy I found Algolia. Previously was using Google custom search, but Algolia is so much better, faster and has a much better on-page interface. It's fast, auto indexes and does the job perfectly.

A performant full text search with highly tunable parameters

  • April 22, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed of the queries and along with the web UI provided for configuring indexes. There are lots of parameters to make the searches work as you expected, even with misspelled inputs. I like the idea of creating replicas of your data with different parameters for different search use cases. It then becomes very clear which index you wish to use later on and so you receive predictable outcomes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the react plugin for instant search, at least the version I am on right now, because it is very difficult to clear the cache for the results. In my use case, the fields on the data change regularly. The results will return the old values until the entire component is unloaded and then reloaded.
I also wish the logs were easier to filter and review in the web browser. Currently, I have the best results when I pull down all the logs locally and filter the text with another program. It would be nice to see more results on the browser, or be able to filter them by the contents of the operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full-text fuzzy search is why we depend on Algolia. Being able to combine multiple data sets in one index is great for discoverability. Firestore lacks many querying features and so pairing it with Algolia covers our needs, though it does complicate things a bit and increase our bill.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is an excellent solution for full-text fuzzy search with support for handling typos. It also has many features you might not know you could benefit from.

It's straightforward to configure and is super customizable. Very feature-rich for a free offering to Open Source projects. The javascript package makes integration easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my experience, there is nothing that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing search capabilities on the Vuetify documentation. Significantly improved user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Search is such an important feature, and Algolia nails it. Give it a try, and you'll never look back; fantastic software.
