Overall Satisfaction with Algolia

We use Algolia to power our websites internal search.
Algolia helps us solve one of the most important product discovery problems which generally is resolved by providing users feature to search products and catalogs. The scope of the use case is enormous as a very high percentage of buyers start their product discovery using search functionality.
  • The search results are quite fast
  • The basic setup & configuration is easy
  • Admin panel is relatively easy to use
  • Redundant indexes at times
  • Big strategic changes are not very easy to implement
  • A little difficult to implement complex search use cases
  • Language support
  • Personalization
  • Typo tolerance
  • Increased product discovery
  • Reduce bounce rate
  • Improve engagement

Do you think Algolia delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Algolia's feature set?

No

Did Algolia live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Algolia go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Algolia again?

No

Algolia as per us is well suited if you do not have internal capability to build a product search functionality then one can go for Algolia for their robust search module. It is relatively easier to setup the basic configuration which may satisfy a good number of use cases for any merchandise focused organisation with limited tech capability in-house.
