Overall Satisfaction with Algolia

As part of the SEO team, I understand the internal searches users perform on the brand website. Then using Alogia reports I work to optimize those search results. My goal is to make sure that my sites and resources are connected correctly, then optimize them to avoid zero search results.
  • great UI
  • data reports are easily understandable
  • helpful documentation
  • connecting other tools
  • trial vs license
  • ability to implement featured results
  • help users find the page they are looking for can lead to increased sales
  • lower level of effort to implement Aloglia and digest site search data
  • increased employee and user engagement, which leads to digesting the website better.

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?

Yes

Algolia has an easy-to-understand user interface and a new user can log in and quickly be onboarded. Once onboarded they can be to understand the reports currently available and start to digest data. Algolia can do a better job of including features and resources from other site search tools, like elastic search.

Evaluating Algolia and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
The most single important factor is implementation. Along with that, onboarding, training, cloud solutions and scalability where considered. Integration with other systems and how well they communicate with each other is also of great concern.
The changes I would make to the evaluation process would be to schedule demos with several products and lengthen the process for process overall to there is more time to evaluate each software product individually.
