  • Management of different levels of product
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited: I would recommend Algolia if you have an ecommerce with relevant traffic and with a big catalog that needs to place the right products on the right place to give the user a better experience.

Not well suited I would not recommend if you have a small eccomerce with small catalogs, because the AI would not make a big change
Most Important Features

  • Sorting
  • Cloud based
Return on Investment
  • Increase ROI from search results
Alternatives Considered
We have choose Algolia, because is a more robust and scalable solution from a consolidated company in the market. A good differential is the time requrest to update information.

Usability
6
Algolia has a good interface and they have done some improvements. However, some non technical users have a challenging time in the use for the first days of learning. But once the main aspects are learned is a straight forward operation
Easy Tasks
  • Merchandising studio
  • Analytics
Difficult Tasks
  • Manual Rules
Scalability
8
Overall is a scalable tool as the environment and the backend functions are the same and many things are done directly on the tool so without the need of further specific developments. However some things could be improved such as documentation for integration that could help in doing whitelabel solutions
