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 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.

Removes our need to worry about document search
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Algolia from other similar products?
Well designed interface, great API docs, clear and transparent pricing.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love the reporting we get on search analytics as it helps us understand what customers are searching for and unable to find — so we can improve our documentation. I also love how the search experience is really strong for our customers so they can find what they need with confidence.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Most frustrations are around features available on each pricing tier — it'd be great to have more functionality on the more affordable tiers.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Don't even think about building your own search if you're looking to implement document or website search. If you can budget for it, Algolia solves your problems and means you don't have to worry about maintenance.
