Algolia

Great search experience for the end user

製品を使ってみた感想： Positive in the sense that it's pretty flexible and allows you to roll out search functions that are way better than the native features platforms usually offer.

良いポイント:

Great solution for enabling smart search on our help center and main website, it helped a lot with usability for the end user, and it was not too difficult to implement.

改善してほしい点:

No cons, it still required our tech team to roll out (so it wasn't exactly something I could have done myself), so I guess that's a small con, but not a big deal since the implementation was easy.

Great Facets and Search but takes a while to setup

製品を使ってみた感想： We wanted something to visually merchandise the site automatically based on user's preferences and best selling / in stock items. Algolia can do this really well but its taken a long time to build into Shopify and configure.

良いポイント:

Its replaced our collection pages on Shopify with very fast loading categories of products that respond quickly to filters. The sorting strategies also work well for New in and best selling, removing the need to manually merchandise categories.

改善してほしい点:

Its not a straight forward setup out of the box and requires quite a bit of building into your Shopify template.

Decent search for okay pricing

製品を使ってみた感想： The algorithm can be quite good, but you need to twist te right knobs to get that result. This also goes for the implementation.

良いポイント:

Algolia is a tool that comes with a lot of features. However, it's not as easy to implement as you would think.

改善してほしい点:

It was not "plug and play". The implementation is integrated in the website and you need to work on the interface before you can implement it correctly.

Algolia search works well

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall experience has been regular.
In general we needed around 2 months with 2 experienced wordpress developers to be able to implement Algolia which now works ok.

良いポイント:

The clear analytics and ease to separate accounts when using multiple of them, however this comes at a high cost.

改善してほしい点:

The difficulty to implement with wordpress. The high cost. The lack of flexibility when integrating with other sistems that algolia does not come out of the box for.

The leading search API

製品を使ってみた感想： I used Algolia via Firebase for our apps and we're close to make full app with it soon.

良いポイント:

Very powerful and work fast just like real search engine !

改善してほしい点:

Very productive for us as a developers to build full search experience in our apps.

Very easy to get started

良いポイント:

The documentation is very well organized and so it was easy for us as a startup to add search functionality to our product. There is an official python client package, including packages for other languages.

改善してほしい点:

It's a bit expensive so we'll have to evaluate at the time we want to scale.

The best search system for firestore

製品を使ってみた感想： Thanks to Algolia, I integrated a search system in my project made with Angular / Fire. Now I am thinking of integrating its geo-search. Hopefully, it will be as good as your search with firestore.

良いポイント:

The best of all is the ease of integration with your project, both to the back and front, and how easy it is to build the queries.

改善してほしい点:

That it does not have a pay per use as firebase does, you only have 2 options, the free account or the payment commitment, use or do not use all your operations for which you are going to pay

Good tool to handle your queries and get info back

製品を使ってみた感想： Good, but couldn't handle our big catalog.

良いポイント:

Worked flawlessly with the search engine and the data it compiled, it did what it had to do.

改善してほしい点:

We had issues with our data, it was taking too much time to gather the product data and store it. We have over 1 million SKUs of products in 14 storefronts and it was too much for it.

Powerful tool for managing your search engine and optimizing results

良いポイント:

The flexibility it allows for managing the types of results users get for different types of products. They allow for many different attributes to control the different products will be displayed on your site. I would also commend their support team that really helped us optimize the way we've been doing things with a lot of great advice and consultation sessions

改善してほしい点:

Different variables for optimizing search results can be somewhat confusing, but their great customer support and documentation does a great job helping out when needed

The best search tool on the market

製品を使ってみた感想： Allowing my users and customers to see the best results regarding their search. All of this as quick as it possibly can be. Nothing - Can´t complain . I guess the fact that I can´t fully use it but I´m ok with it since my developing team has no real issue with it.

良いポイント:

The fact that it gives our clients the most accurate results in a matter of milliseconds. Algolia continues to improve on a weekly basis and makes our website even better with every update.

Interessanti funzionalita'

製品を使ってみた感想： In generale mi sono ricreduto.E' un software funzionale.

良いポイント:

Mi piace la sua utilita' ed efficienza e non lo do per scontato

改善してほしい点:

Alcuni miglioramenti sono necessari, questo e' ovvio

The best tool pour la recherche et le filtrage dans les outils informatiques

製品を使ってみた感想： Depuis le temps que j'utilis Algolia pour améliorer la fonction de recherche sur mon mes projets informatique, et je dois dire que je suis absolument impressionné par les résultats. Algolia a transformé mon expérience utilisateur et a considérablement amélioré la satisfaction de mes visiteurs.

良いポイント:

Rapidité et pertinence des résultats et il est facile dans l'intégration

改善してほしい点:

la configuration initiale est compliqué et longue et je trouve que il y a une certain limitation dans la personnalisation

It's like having a perfect tool

製品を使ってみた感想： My recommendation is to ask Algolia technical support for help if you have problems or are not sure how to configure it, do not try it alone, remember that you have the help of technical support.

良いポイント:

Being able to modify the search in the panels in a few minutes is something that is priceless, I am currently developing and implementing strategies to improve the search and implementing search filters and I am not a developer or an expert person, this is what I like about Algolia , the simplicity of this software is essential for inexperienced people.

改善してほしい点:

Absolutely nothing. I hope it continues to function as it is doing now for many years to come. With Algolia, specific situations of mismanagement of websites can be solved in a short time with the implementation of its API that establishes excellent search filters and we can know what is the tendency of customers to improve according to this data.

Algolia team and AdrianC

製品を使ってみた感想： I will say I couldn’t have done that what I accomplished,by myself ,this Algolia program is literally a good thing thanks again Algolia.

良いポイント:

I really feel comfortable with every aspect of the Algolia program/soft ware. Integration with other programs was honestly smooth ,fairly easy to navigate.

改善してほしい点:

I really must say.I’m not a computer savvy person but I’m greatly appreciative for your services . I was just thinking about just how much simpler your service was compared to having to work on my own to get what I got accomplished.

Jekyll Algolia plugin for a personal blog

製品を使ってみた感想： My overall experience has been excellent.

良いポイント:

Installing the Jekyll Algolia plugin was easy. Simple-to-follow documentation, even for a non-techie like myself. Further, the official Algolia Community forum is a place where I can find answers to questions I might have. Free of charge (community plan) with no time limit. The Community plan, which is all I need at this stage (my blog currently has fewer than 30 pages in total) is free of charge. Relevant search results. The Algolia software is able to take into account similar key terms and typo errors. Search results are instant (hence "InstantSearch"), which I believe is more user-friendly than having to press 'Enter' or clicking/tapping a button to see the search results. The search user interface looks good.

改善してほしい点:

Some search terms don't show up in the results, i.e. "no results." I probably need to configure the plugin to optimize site search.

Very good but very expensive

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall I do love the result but I'm not sure it justifies the expense.

良いポイント:

The sheer speed of the search is astonishing. You get results in next to no time. It's amazing as compared to a mysql query based search that Magento generally offers.

改善してほしい点:

Cost, it is very very expensive. They also do not offer much in the way of support unless you pay even more. So you are stuck with trying to wade through their documentation which is not written very clearly to get the best results.

Gamechanger

製品を使ってみた感想： It's completely positive. They respond to support requests in a reasonable amount of time and are amenable to contract upgrades mid-cycle to facilitate unplanned growth.

良いポイント:

Algolia revolutionized our customer experience. Our customer contact volume dropped dramatically almost immediately after implementation. Instant Search and greatly improved results pages reduced the need for assistance. Our users were finally able to search instead of navigate.

改善してほしい点:

We operate a 100+ location brick and mortar retail chain and function as a BOPIS platform. Each of our locations have a unique assortment of products, so indexing has to treat each item at each location as an individual entry and that increases the time for the index operations.

Lightening quick on-site search

製品を使ってみた感想： Algolia search has increased our conversion rates, and provides a much better user experience than any of the other instant search providers we tried. I wouldn't want to move away from algolia as the functionality and potential it offers is so great.

良いポイント:

The speed of the search is outstanding. We have implemented it to allow customers to live search our product catalog of over 10000 items and it handles this impeccably. It also plays well with different frameworks, and the documentation is clear.

改善してほしい点:

If you were a non-technical user, then the software would be difficult to understand.

Search made easy

良いポイント:

Great documentation and absolutely incredible customer support. Their developers answer technical questions, and provide you with custom code to fit your implementation.

改善してほしい点:

The free plan includes a lot of operations per month, but as soon as you go over the limits, the pricing becomes quite aggressive. I'd rather pay per use, for the exact number of operations performed.

Fast Setup

製品を使ってみた感想： I use algolia to give my users a smart search, analyzing I saw that most users never search for the correct term, so algolia was essential to solve this problem, making users actually find what they are looking for.

良いポイント:

Ease of configuration regardless of language, in a few clicks you can already use it and speed in consultations

改善してほしい点:

I believe it's still a little expensive for an early stage startup

Busca, filtra y muestra

製品を使ってみた感想： Es un potente buscador y me ayuda en mis webs para filtrar y buscar el contenido.

良いポイント:

Me permite hacer filtros y búsquedas en los contenidos de mi blog de una forma muy sencilla.

改善してほしい点:

Al ser tan potente filtra incluso lo que no me interesa que se muestre y hay que ir eliminándolo a mano.

Give Your Customers Amazing Experiences with Algolia

製品を使ってみた感想： Algolia Search gives our customers unique experiences. They can easily find whatever they need. With Algolia Search, they trust us more

良いポイント:

It helps our customers find exactly what they are looking for. It provides a platform on which we can easily achieve our customer-focus objective. It creates a unique bond between us and our clients

改善してほしい点:

I love all the features on offer on Algolia. I have no complaints

Delightful user experience both as an end user but also developer.

製品を使ってみた感想： Easy to setup, cost effective search on the cloud.

良いポイント:

Algolia provides an amazing search platform on the cloud. In literally a few steps and minutes you are able to have a good enough search (excluding time to populate it). I had no experience with other search engines like Elasticsearch before hand and I still found it greatly easy. The settings can be defined on the dashboard or via the API which can be both a good and a bad as it can cause miss-configuration. Lastly it is really fast, honestly I worked in commerce shops that build their own search and had to maintain it etc for less than 200k products, now I see that this was well, for no reason.

改善してほしい点:

As a developer the main problem is the documentation. It lacks, it seems incomplete and although they try to show more languages it would be better to focus on coverage than language adaption.

Simple

製品を使ってみた感想： It's great. you guys fully simplify what it means to get up and running with 5 lines of code.

良いポイント:

"Simple" is the word that I can use to describe Algolia. The ease of plugging in a link and getting into executing faster is a plus.

改善してほしい点:

Pricing is great for a small project. I think having a model review for big enterprise could be great in term of how much it cost us to use you guys; as we are looking into using algolia for some large project.

Extending the capability of other platforms

製品を使ってみた感想： Extremely positive. Fast to implement and very few issues.

良いポイント:

We use Algolia to provide deeper search functionality than in provided out-of-the-box by most content management systems. Algolia provides a richer search experience and is easy to integrate and configure.

改善してほしい点:

No direct drawbacks. We've used it successfully for many years, and our clients understand that to offer quality search functionality to their customers, incurs a cost. I say this as many of the existing reviews say Algolia is expensive.
