How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Algolia from other similar products?
Algolia's search algorithms just work. I've worked with different search bars across many web applications, and usually the search results just aren't exactly what you need. This is different for Algolia search.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The control you have over your indexes, and how search results are found and displayed. This really allows us to customise what products we want to show a customer when they search, and really make the search personal and specific to our platform.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We use React.js as the main framework for our web application. Algolia has built-in React components that you can use to get the initial implementation up and running within a few hours. We did note, however, that these components aren't always fully optimised, and causes some additional load on some of our pages. Considering removing all Algolia-written components, and just using their REST API to get access to that wonderful search algorithm.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try the free tier of their product in some small form of application. You'll be implementing their search functionality on your main platform soon after, I promise.
