My overall experience with Google Alerts have always benefited for free. By using this, I can keep myself updated about any word / term in parallel with the google.

It is free, easy to use and very productive specially for being updated about any word / term. You may receive alert as soon as it is learnt by the google itself. It also benefits for gathering latest information about any word / term.

Nothing I found to like least or dislike because it has benefited me a lot at no cost in efficient and productive way. However, some filters can be added.

cons of google alerts . 1)limitation as it will mostly show the results which are listed in google for example if in my locality a school is having vacancy for a teacher and they have not listed it on google then the alert will not show me the advertisement for the vacancy . 2) most of the time it just work on the idea of key term search it means if you wish to participate in world record event and made an alert for it it will keep giving you mail having key word world record whether their is event or and old news . 3) some more filters can be added.

Adding addresses is easy, and adding attendees to your notices is easy

the alerts are sporadic at times. If I have nothing scheduled, I won't receive notices until I check the google calendar. frustrating

The software is very effective and efficient in assisting me to get my task done in a timely manner. It helps me to be better at time management and prioritizing my daily tasks. The software is easy to use and very user friendly.

Based on my experience using this software in comparison to other software, I have no issue whatsoever.

Very good. They deliver you complete details & mention the topics of alerts that have been set by you.

It's free, easy, and hassle-free to set up a large number of google alerts of our choice both to track brand mention, topics of interest, and competitors' activities and what're they to. We use them on a daily basis for improving our touchpoints and customer engagement to show our brand in a good light.

We need a lot of manual efforts to churn out the most useful information from the pool of links where topics of our alerts have been mentioned. It provides complete information that may consume a lot of time to hand-pick only useful information.

It helped me a lot to be updated about the news of important words in timely and effective manner. Earlier, we were manually searching those words for relevant news and updates.

It helps to be updated straight in my inbox for any specific word if and when it appears anywhere on internet and learnt by google crawler. It allows to filter the alerts by source, language, region and even quality. I can choose the frequency of alerts. Above all, it is free.

The only thing, I noticed to be improved in google alerts is that it checks on any one word basis in case of multiple words like "DRAP Pakistan" but this shall be optional to either check for whole or each word.

The Best Thing it is free of cost.Get Alerted for new change ,new business, new offers etc.,Easy to use.

Need to improve the search features as it didn't show relevant things sometimes.It get messed up sometimes.

I love the fact one will get notified about ANYTHING that a user sets alerts for. It's great to stay updated and informed.

What I like least about Google Alerts is that it will notify you about a topic with an article, scholarly journal, etc that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. For instance, I will have "Wells Fargo" as my topic but will get articles "mentioning" it not just articles "about" it.

i love using google alerts beaucause its free tool to get the latest information and trends in your interests and work. its very developed tool i hope to be continue tanks

What I like about Google Alerts is the seamless integration within the Google product system.

The only draw back is that sometimes the mail fills up and becomes too much,but other than that I like it.

A fundamental experience

It allows me to update myself every time and train my curiosity. Actuality and Simplicity are the keywords of this software.

The mails that sometimes get lost, but other than that I find everything perfect.

Because I can get very caught up in work, I usually don’t have so much time on my hands to browse through endless web pages to fish out all the interesting updates on the topics I have interest in. With google alerts, I am able to keep up without the needing to sacrifice any of my work time.

It’s free to use and allows a lot of flexibility in setting up the frequency of notifications. Therefore I am able to minimize distractions as much as possible, even while tracking high interest subjects or developments.

Getting the search sources cover major social media websites will make it a complete solution.

Of course results are limited to what is listed in Google but many news I'm interested in are listed in Google.

I use Google Alerts for a long time, I'm a plastician arts teacher, it's a great tool to stay current in my job about important news for me in arts actualities and history of arts, I just have to set up artist names, museums, galleries, organisations or any keyword to stay alerted and up to date, no need to suscribe to many newsletters, I'm currently informed that is just great.

Google Alerts is very easy and rapid to use. You can choice your setting alerts ( dayly, weekly , source, language, region etc) and you receive it by mail it's a very useful assistant sofware for every research. And it's free to use.

Google Alerts is a great tool to find hidden business. No one would have the time to check all the sites and all the news releases, Google Alerts does it for you.

Google Alerts is almost a "set it and forget it" software. Once you put in your search terms you are alerted with links to articles and sites where that term is used. It is how we first found out one of out major competitors were filing for bankruptcy! We have a pretty niche market, so it helps us find out when there is something or someone new in the industry as well as help find new projects.

There are a lot of spam and churn sites that come through in the alerts, but you can find those pretty easily by looking at the URLs.

As a member of the PR team, it's critical we stay up-to-date on certain topics that are trending in the news, as well as company mentions. Google Alerts saves us a ton of manual searching by sending an email as soon as a given search term is published. It's an absolute life saver for our industry.

Google Alerts allow us to track news coverage and any mentions of both the company or specific topics that are trending. It allows you to customize with Boolean search terms for hyper specific, accurate results at any cadence you want.

For more generic searches, the alerts typically return a huge amount of results - however, this is is pretty easily worked around by using Boolean searches.

I would have to say the overall experience with Google Alerts is great. I monitor a lot of trends for my business and this is a great option.

Google alerts is so easy to use, a few clicks and you have it set up, in addition it is free to use. You can stay on top of the trends in your industry, the news, stocks, almost anything you need to know.

I would be hard pressed to find any cons. The only con I can think of is, sometimes the alerts don't show up, especially the ones you are watching daily. Not sure what happens, but you might get the alert every other day, sometimes it will be 3-4 days.

Using Google Alerts is easy and relieves the burden of having to manually search for internet mentions that are relevant to you.

I use this for my job at a marketing and PR agency. We need to track mentions for our clients and keywords that they are interested in. It's easy to set up notifications with Google Alerts. Simply add the alert to your account and any mentions indexed by Google are sent directly to your inbox. It's very easy to use and can be very effective when needing to track internet activity.

The ease and simplicity of this product is also what makes it easier to critique. There are many things that could improve the usefulness of this product, such as being able to view dashboards that track frequency by date, or sites that frequently talk about certain subjects. It is also better to be very specific, otherwise you run the risk of overwhelming your inbox with mentions that have little or nothing to do with what you are really trying to track.

I get greater access to the news, ease of research.

With the alert, searches and access to information are faster. I can read the content and information on time, not missing any interesting content in the current time.I can read the content and information on time, not missing any interesting content, in current time.

You could more easily get the information to edit the alerts created and your definitions of desire whenever you get some alert, leaving a tab asking your wish, so the alerts would be more dynamic and handled.

Very good. I use to track my clients when they are mentioned in the press. A simple email with the roundup of the latest mentions is easy to track.

Easy to use. You can choose how often you get your alerts (as it happens, daily, weekly, etc). Very simple to use and update your preferences. It's helpful to be able to have different preferences (i.e. receiving the alert) for different alerts.

Nothing. It makes tracking press hits for clients much easier than having to do a google search every single day.

Google Alerts, which is free to use, are send when people are talking about your company or a specific colleague or a particular keyword you want to follow. It is really user-friendly for most of the basic parts. It does not take more than a few mins to set up the alerts system to keep track trends of a company.

The least feature of this software would be data, which is not always complete specially with press mentions are missed most often.

Overall, I've enjoyed Google Alerts. These alerts help me have peace and be a more efficient worker.

I love how Google Alerts help protect my accounts. I love that they let me know about unusual activity. I feel safe and secure due to Google Alerts.

It can be frustrating when Google Alerts are paranoid about my own activity. When I was younger I would get paranoid about the alerts set off by my own activity.

I'm using it for everything that matters to me. I preset all the words I'd like to get information on and that's it! Then the AI does the job.

This Google product is WOW! Fantastic to set keywords and have everything delivered on your email. I love this product and I'm recommending it to friends and relatives.

Nothing really. Very easy to set and use. It's all automated. Great piece of software. Extremely happy with it.

it is very good! easy to access and keep track of my meetings.

Google Alerts are very easy to set and easy to search using key words. It helps to update myself. I use google alert for my daily meeting schedule so that I don't go late or miss any meetings. The most important thing about Google Alert is it is free!

I have been using Google Alerts for several years and so far had NO issues.

I like to use Google Alerts because I like to be in the know and on trend with the world around me. I like that I can control the frequency at which I receive alerts and customize the alerts to what is important to me

Google Alerts is a free tool that allows you to stay on trend and up to date within your interest or industry.

If not managed properly, there can be an over abundance of alerts, and can be considered annoying.
