App is a bit clunky to use at times, with unexpected errors popping up when trying to apply changes. Most of the time, redoing the action solves it but nonetheless, it's time consuming. Algolia dashboard is quite useful and has lots of features/capabilities for nuanced execution. Algolia staff and support are super helpful (shout out to our TAM Elias) and bring a lot of experience in helping our business optimize and execute strategy.

Algolia has made search much faster and more relevant on our store. We especially like the control over rankings, synonyms, filters, and merchandising.

App & Dashboard work a bit against each other sometimes. Support is very fast, knowledgeable and helpful tough!

We had and issue with our staging environment not being able to reindex. After speaking with our TAM and entering a ticket our issue was resolved in a day. I am very pleased with the continuing communication and the speed in which it was resolved.

Nous avons opté pour algolia, en pensant que le cout en vaudrait la peine. Quelle erreur, c'est un grouffre financier, qui en plus de bugger souvent, n'est pas du tout fonctionnel. SAV inexistant en plus, ou ils vous facturent toutes demande. Je ne parle pas des produits non suivi tel les cartes cadeaux qui n'apparaissent pas dans la recherche, de mes produits bunddles également disparu. Traduction du moteur de recherche également complètement HS. Bref fuyez loin de cette application, vous trouverez de bien meilleur option à plus de 10 fois moins..
