What differentiates Algolia from other similar products?
Algolia's search algorithms just work. I've worked with different search bars across many web applications, and usually the search results just aren't exactly what you need. This is different for Algolia search.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The control you have over your indexes, and how search results are found and displayed. This really allows us to customise what products we want to show a customer when they search, and really make the search personal and specific to our platform.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We use React.js as the main framework for our web application. Algolia has built-in React components that you can use to get the initial implementation up and running within a few hours. We did note, however, that these components aren't always fully optimised, and causes some additional load on some of our pages. Considering removing all Algolia-written components, and just using their REST API to get access to that wonderful search algorithm.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try the free tier of their product in some small form of application. You'll be implementing their search functionality on your main platform soon after, I promise.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing

Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Algolia from other similar products?
Incredibly fast setup time and very fast response times.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
So man features under the hood to use this product as an index for all of your content.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Copying settings or parts of settings across multiple instances or indices is a bit of a pain unless you write scripts for it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Consider other uses for the product aside from just search. It's great to have an indexed, faceted view of your various components of content, available at high speed.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Saves Time
- Performance Enhancing
