Overall Satisfaction with Algolia

We use Algolia to manage our indices for both our Production and Staging environments. Without having Algolia we would have to come up with our own solution for managing millions of entries dealing with multiple different customer accounts. The ability to have a quick and seamless search experience within our application is required. We have many field techs that rely on finding parts and service orders.
  • Indexing that’s optimized for search
  • The ability to scale as we grow
  • Analytics insights
  • Reporting
  • Audit logs for access tokens
  • Managing users
  • Cost is quite high if you have the ability to build your own indexing tool
  • Great for small startups that do not have the ability to design their own tool.
  • Helped propel our application in the beginning but having an easy to setup solution.

Did implementation of Algolia go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Algolia again?

Yes

Well suited for web applications and mobile apps that need an on demand search function. If you rely on larger datasets within a database utilizing Algolia for indexing is a time saver and ensure quick and accurate search results.

It is not suited for some different areas such as stream logging or complex aggregations on large document sets.
