Pros It's so easy to get started, whether you write custom connectors, use premade connectors or use a product that already supports Algolia. Cons Using the free tier of service can lead to an outage at the end of the trial period even if your stay under the free threshold of transactions. Review Source KM Kasia M. Businesss Development Manager, Speaker Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A must have" June 4, 2021 5.0 Definitely worth trying! Team is very helpful and they make an effort to make the tool the best possible Pros Great tool that helps find desired things on you ecommerce shop or browser. Works very well and make searching faster.

CTO Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best quick and go solution" January 12, 2017 5.0 Algolia is really a blazing fast search solution shorting the time to market. I realy recomande it for user search experience. Now there is one realy missing feature: ability to search by field at search time. Example I have an index with {name, type, location}, search fields are name and location. but for some reason I want to search only in location that match: "t?t?" This is really a topic for advanced search. Review Source Aman S. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best search functionality provider for Flutter" April 24, 2022 4.0 Pros Easy to integrate with mobile applications build on flutter.

CEO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Search in our online shop!" June 30, 2021 5.0 The Algolia search is much more easier to instal in Magento shops than the core search. We are lucky using that search which will rise our sales in future. Pros We integrated the search into our Meagento 2 Enterprise shop and it works better than the Elstic Search from Magento! Very intelligent search with a great preview of the products and a individuel configurable landingpage for the products. You can easily chose the products via relvanz, newsest first and price. The search looks pretty good also in the mobile version. We love the dashboard with the very exclusive analytics :) Cons At the moment we cannot find any problems of the software. Review Source Response from Algolia July 6, 2021 Thank you Thomas! IC Iris C. Product designer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mejora constante en las búsquedas de usuario" January 27, 2022 4.0 Muy buenas features que nos ayudaron a tomar decisiones importantes para mejorar la experiencia de nuestros usuarios. Pros Tiene un dashboard complento desde donde se pueden ver métricas importantes sobre las búsquedas que realizan tus usuarios. Por ejemplo qué cosas buscan más, cómo las escriben. En base a esas métricas se pueden tomar decisiones como agregar sinónimos o priorizar el orden de los resultados. ¡Muy bueno! Cons La curva de aprendizaje para un diseñador o analista de producto puede ser grande. Review Source MOF Martino Olmo F.

Product Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Well documented and good integration with many services" July 14, 2022 5.0 Very good. Easy set up and the scope of features went beyond expectations. Pros I use Algolia as an integration for an iOS app. The documentation to get started was excellent And I got going in less than 20 minutes. I’m by no means an experienced developer but found the documentation easy to read through and understand. Cons On occasion I’d get a little confused by the UI and the terms used.

This also goes for the implementation. Pros Algolia is a tool that comes with a lot of features. However, it's not as easy to implement as you would think. Cons It was not "plug and play".

There is an official python client package, including packages for other languages. Cons It's a bit expensive so we'll have to evaluate at the time we want to scale.
