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.

Evaluating Algolia and Competitors
Not Sure
- 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.
