The newest 8 of 35. Open one to read it in full, with the developer's reply where there is one.
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.
It is definitely not a straight forward implementation which requires support and that is pretty much none-existent unless you commit to min $12,000 USD a year. Terrible support with pay as you go plan. We have tickets over 20 days old not answered.
Algolia is a powerhouse when it comes to search functionality. The robust customization options allow for highly tailored search results that enhance user experience and drive conversion. Their customer success team has been incredibly supportive throughout our integration, providing valuable insights and guidance to help us maximize the platform's potential. Algolia is a valuable asset for any DTC brand committed to improving their e-commerce search experience.
Love this app! Tons of flexibility around ranking factors, using tags or metafields. We also have enjoyed using the dynamic re-ranking feature which boosts our products based on CTR and CVR
Algolia is a great product and we are very happy with it. This has drastically improved our search and merch experience through AI recommendations and other automations. The platform is always evolving and we can't wait to see the new features. The Algolia app works well with Shopify. It does not provide a frontend framework though so this is something your developer team will need to implement with Algolia. Also their support and CSM are very responsive and we have always been able to find commercial and technical solutions.
I recommend Algolia 100% - When launched our online store we used different apps for product discovery functionalities, it was always complex and the results obtained never made sense. Algolia's app is the best in the market, truly using AI and data smartly and easily, plus continuously evolving and developing new features and always getting excellent support from their team from a technical but also commercial perspective.
Would 100% recommend Algolia to other enterprise level users - the tool has everything you need to make a success of your search strategy and a team with the expertise to help too. We've worked with Algolia for 1.5 years now and our search experience is definitely the best it's been, with a marked improvement from our previous partner.
