This is an effective tool to understand and improve traffic.

PROS

The software is really good in almost every aspect. It is relatively easy to use, it has a very responsive customer service and is not too expensive in my opinion.

CONS

The only possible issue I have is the slightly low amount of functionality the software provides in terms of analytics and obtaining more information. This may not be a problem for others.

Alexa Review

Getting information concerning business aspects with education and startup businesses. The overall experience is exceptional in that Alexa provides pertinent information that I need at the drop of a dime.

PROS

The software is very appropriate in what I need to accomplish in my home. Whether I am turning on lights or asking for information, Alexa accomplishes much more than the basic Google page can give me. Alexa gives me the ability to play music, check the weather, gather information pertinent to whatever aspect I'm looking for. I love the experience of using Alexa as a wake-up alarm. In addition to using the alarm system for more than one time per day. I love that Alexa is a confidant when nobody else is around. It can read stories and just answer questions closer than a friend with all the confidentiality.

CONS

The missing aspect of Alexa is that sometimes I can't get the information pertaining to local news. That may be a user error and not the program itself. As well as I know that Alexa is recording all my questions and placing them where they can be compromised. That is the one thing that I don't like.

Alexa Saves the Day!

Alexa is a great addition to any home. Trust me you won't regret getting it. I know I wish I would have bought it so much sooner!

PROS

What don't I like about Alexa? Alexa is so awesome and helpful I can't imagine life before I had her. I use her daily to set alarms for school for both myself and my child. Additionally, you can say her name and ask her pretty much any question in the world and she will respond with the correct information about 90% of the time, which is pretty impressive. You can play games with her, which my 9-year-old son loves. I love naming a song and being able to listen to it within seconds as well.

CONS

Sometimes she doesn't understand what I have said even though I spoke very clearly. This happens with all technology though so I can't complain too much.

If you're going to keep up with your competitor's it's always good to know what they are doing. This tool is great for tracking your site's performance and optimizing it to keep up with the competition. The analysis and reports give you all the information you need to get ahead of the game.

Not the best toolset in the competitor analysis field

I enjoy using Alexa Marketing Stack and a lot of the features that offer but I am in doubt that most of them didn't really give me a solid, authentic data and insights I can really rely on.

PROS

the "On-Page SEO Checker" is the most useful feature I like in this software.

CONS

"the quality of data" that is the software show you, when I compare it to the other solutions/softwares I found a big differences between them, for example Alexa tell me that the visitor stays 10 min in my website meanwhile other X solution tell me that he stays just 2.5 min!

Improve your website ranking and visibility using Alexa

PROS

The features offered by Alexa are really amazing and can help you significantly improve your Google ranking. Even the free version provides you indicative insights on your website traffic.

CONS

1. For initial users, it becomes very expensive to use Alexa. For large and developed websites, it may not be as big a challenge to subscribe to Alexa but for beginners, the pricing is high. 2. The insights should always be taken as indicative and not as sacrosanct and cent percent true.

Alexa for personal use

Love being able to use it for music and the bluetooth allows me to pair it with headphones, Roku, and external speakers.

PROS

I bought several Echo Dot devices (bought one first, and then 2 more after about 2 months). I love using it primarily for music, but am still learning the various skills available.

CONS

Be aware of what comes checked as "on" vs. what YOU want on. For example, Sidewalk may be turned on by default and I did not want that set to on. In addition, I would love to use Alexa for more, but some items (TVs, Cable, etc) are not compatible as of yet.

Even for a non-marketing person, it's one of the best tools to improve my website

Even though I'm not a marketing person, I use Alexa to improve the views on my website. Alexa gives you really good insights on which topics you should write about (based on what people are looking for) as well as giving tips of keywords and terms that I should use. I love to see how my website compares to the competitors so I can improve my views

Alexa is really easy to use and gives you TONS of insights that you will not find in other tools. It shows you several tips on how to improve the visits on your website.

CONS

Best Home Automation/Integration App

I learnt a great deal of automation possibilities that can be achieved with Alexa. With the new flat around the corner I decided to make it a smart home. Today, I have a smart home powered by Alexa. It is so convenient to control lights, switches and other appliances by just speaking to Alexa or using the app though most of them are on auto-pilot mode (scheduled automation). Alexa has become a part of our liftstyle.

PROS

I was surprised to know that Alexa is not just a talking speaker it can integrate with many IOT devices. It is a smart speaker that we can converse with and not just command to do things. We are used to having google at our finger tips to search for whatever we want. Now we have the ability to control things and get info at the tip of our tongue.

CONS

I really don't see any cons. If at all there are they must be limitations and not cons cons. Some improvements can be:1. The wake word 'Alexa' should be able to customized to any word.2. Sometimes the speaker wakes up after confusing to have heard the wake word when we are in a conversation. This can be annoying sometimes.
