Overall Satisfaction with Algolia

Currently used as a search engine for our bill payment service www.paysimply.ca . Customers are using it to find the biller that they need to pay. The fuzzy logic works well and the search is better than anything we would have developed internally.
  • Search speed is excellent.
  • Configurability is also excellent.
  • Fuzzy Logic really helps our customers when they misspell a search.
  • I can't think of any
  • It's too early to measure any increase in our transactions
  • We have good customer feedback on the Algolia search function
  • We are looking at other apps in development where we can also leverage the power of Algolia
