Pros

“What the startup program looked like in practice for us--we set up algolia summer 2024 as we were building our product.”

Lucy Z.

Cofounder

“The sorting strategies also work well for New in and best selling, removing the need to manually merchandise categories.”

Steve R.

Marketing Manager

“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.”

Alberto D.

Head of Marketing

Pros

“It has an extension that provides all the features of the official website, and it also has a floating window for the cards that you are using so you can drag it easily.”

Glacie S.

Customer Service Representative

“Its sleek and quick design as a collection of cards enables any supporting agent to briefly discuss, update and highlight any internal and external changes in information and anything regarding process-wise it allows teams to digress updates flexibly and precisely.”

Sev A.

Artist Support

“The Guru Analytics feature allows us to understand what content is most relevant, understand behaviours of teams who do look for guru support and at what time in any project roll-out.”

Ness C.

Senior Manager, GTM Enablement

Cons

“As a small, pre-revenue startup, we're now locked in to paying Algolia's expensive rates until we have the engineering bandwidth to switch, which we definitely will be switching, but I wish we had known up front because we would not have gone with Algolia and invested the time to set it up in the first place.”

Lucy Z.

Cofounder

“The pricing is quite expensive for smaller businesses which don't rely that much on their website.”

Edgar H.

Owner and Software Developper

“We had issues with our data, it was taking too much time to gather the product data and store it.”

Ricardo A.

Ecommerce Director

Cons

“My company has never accessed such similar tool, so we need a lot of initial introduction to the tool especially from the Guru team. Because we have a timezone gap, we find it challenging to arrange meetings with Guru customer service team. Despite lots of videos, we need an actual hands-on guidance for an easier usage of the tool.”

Anh L.

Head of Martech

“The search engine is a little crazy, sometimes you can't find the exact document your searching for, but it could also be an issue with the tags and titles inputted.”
