UI based Search Demo, giving an option setup basic search and do a quick demo on their UI Query Categorisation and Dynamic Re-ranking to get most out of the analytics reported from the actual users.

Less Customisation at the data indexing end, so need to add manual customisations while indexing for some special use cases, but this may or may not be same for all the customer of Algolia

Best software to enable search & discovery!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Algolia from other similar products?
Algolia offers a wide range of advanced features for a very reduced price with compared to the similar software products in the market. These features include fully hosted search APIs, 3rd party app integrations, dashboard with informative analytics, A/B testing, visual editors and so much more AI based features!
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I personally love about Algolia is their AI based search capabilities that allows dynamic synonym suggestion, dynamic re-ranking and query suggestions. Also, I love Algolia because the search processes done by it is way faster because of the DSNs they have.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I dislike the pricing they have towards medium scale businesses/teams. That can be revised and reduced.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Algolia is a 10/10 for any enterprise looking to level-up their search and discovery abilities of the website and the search navigation system with very few IT resources and lower cost of ownership. I recommend them to book a demo with the sales team and ask for a quotation and move forward from there.
