Algolia search is very easy to implement and I could test it very easily. I wanted an alternative to Google's product but without loosing quality and that's exactly what I've found with Algolia.
I tested it a lot, trying places to see if it always worked. The only place I couldn't find was Mount Everest (Google could). I wrote an email to Algolia support but it didn't seem they could do anything about it.

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.
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.
No cons were added to this review

It is extremely easy to use and adopt into your application. The UI UX is also amazing.
It is quite pricey in comparison with other more hands-on products. Sometimes bugs do appear in database operations.

Definitely worth trying! Team is very helpful and they make an effort to make the tool the best possible
Great tool that helps find desired things on you ecommerce shop or browser. Works very well and make searching faster.
Nothing for the moment, I think the tool is worth trying and seeing if it gives value to your business
Thank you Kasia!

The Algolia search is much more easier to instal in Magento shops than the core search. We are lucky using that search which will rise our sales in future.
We integrated the search into our Meagento 2 Enterprise shop and it works better than the Elstic Search from Magento! Very intelligent search with a great preview of the products and a individuel configurable landingpage for the products. You can easily chose the products via relvanz, newsest first and price. The search looks pretty good also in the mobile version. We love the dashboard with the very exclusive analytics :)
At the moment we cannot find any problems of the software.
Thank you Thomas!

It delivers results instanteneously, and comes with a lot of useful features.
It exhibits a flawless search process, users get instant results and can manage the results with utmost flexibilty .
You have to pay huge fees after exhausting the free plan and thats a bit agreesive on the part algolia.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with it. I have used on one project only so far, but I sure would like to try it again. Comparing to some open source solutions (e.g elasticsearch), it is easier to develop and it takes less development time.
It is fairly easy to integrate, there is a free trial option. Appears to be fast, it can be integrated in various platforms. Support is fast enough and accurate.
If standard option is not enough, it can be pricy. Administration panel can be a bit an overwhelming for non-tehnical person.

Powerful search queries, ease of use and extremely well done documentation
The software doesnt have any negative technical aspect, might get a bit pricey if 1000s of queries are performed daily

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

So easy to get up and running with a ton of search functionality. Costs escalate pretty quickly as you grow. Customer support takes a long time to respond and generally not very helpful.
easy to use. lots of features.
too expensive. poor support.

my overall experience is too good. i highly recommed others to use Algolia Search due to its fabulous features with easy to implement. Search Results are displayed with a incredible speed, doesnot take seconds to load the result that too with providing live search results with each entered alphabets.
searching was never so responsive and quick before, thanks to Algolia which made my work super fast. Easy to setup, adapt and works extremely fast to display search results!
about price range: pricing model now is considerably more expensive maybe

Muy buenas features que nos ayudaron a tomar decisiones importantes para mejorar la experiencia de nuestros usuarios.
Tiene un dashboard complento desde donde se pueden ver métricas importantes sobre las búsquedas que realizan tus usuarios. Por ejemplo qué cosas buscan más, cómo las escriben. En base a esas métricas se pueden tomar decisiones como agregar sinónimos o priorizar el orden de los resultados. ¡Muy bueno!
La curva de aprendizaje para un diseñador o analista de producto puede ser grande.

We get results in under a few milliseconds even with a 4 millions users database. They have a great documentation, it's easy to implement and their customer support is really cool.

Improved search previews (WP+WC). When it comes to search results, good luck making it work or reaching their support and not being asked to spend thousands upon thousands for basic support (hidden bite fees).
Potentially good software but... pretty disappointed. Read cons. I wish i could share screenshot of their pricing page and the email i've got from their sales team.
Dirty an unethical marketing, luring to pay HUGE . Very disappointed. I wish i could share screenshot of their pricing page and the email i've got from their sales team.

I'm the founding developer at a small tech startup, and Algolia is a dream come true for someone with primarily frontend experience. Implementing realtime search with Algolia took me a couple of hours on my mobile app and website, and most of that time was spent making a custom UI. Algolia couldn't be simpler, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs to implement a fairly robust search feature.
Easy, robust, good documentation

Overall awesome experience, has a lot of features and just misses few!
Autocomplete feature is a really great thing in this tool. The user just needs to type the words and the products gets listed below
Although the auto-complete feature is great but in analytics, we don't get to see what the user has actually typed/searched for. Algolia should think how they can tackle this issue!

I love the fact it's super quick searching tool, and you can configure it to approximation search, and it still works super well.
It was not super friendly to work with for a non-technical point of view.

Algolia has been amazing for producing quality search results for many products.
It's so easy to get started, whether you write custom connectors, use premade connectors or use a product that already supports Algolia.
Using the free tier of service can lead to an outage at the end of the trial period even if your stay under the free threshold of transactions.

So far, so good.
With Algolia, you basically send them your database records and they search on them using a provided search string. It's integrated with Laravel Scout, so it makes it a breeze to search for items all over our app.
I haven't used it enough to really know it's limitations.

We tried a lot of search services at Socialcam to handle our massive user base (130M+ users).All of them couldn't handle that number of users! It was always super slow. Algolia handles it without any problem but on top of that, it does it at full speed: we get results back in under a few milliseconds. Last but not least, it does it with error handling, which is great as typos are very frequent on smarphone... Also - Algolia was very easy to implement, their documentation is great and they have libraries for almost all languages out there.
Very Fast, Ease of Use, Documentation, Support, Low Price, Reliability, Typos Handling
Can't find any!

Algolia Search is an excellent add-in to your website; it significantly helped our customers to get relevant results, and to help them find what they want. This is a really great impact ! Besides I have to mention that setup and configuration are super easy to do : there is a nice dashboard, and you can configure the index and use the instantsearch feature. The developer documentation is awesome. Also, you can customize and check metrics, of course.
I've never found anything wrong with using Algolia so far. Pricing is far and the customer service is super responsive (<24h delay)

It was very to get started and overall it performed as needed. Being able to tweak result rankings is a fantastic feature.
The cost structure can be quite expensive for smaller companies, especially if you need to reindex your data frequently.

1. It's fast. 2. It works right, there are no glitches. 3. Best customer service that I've worked with in a long time.
No cons. It's the best around. It does have a little price tag, but it's well worth it of course....
