About Alexa
Helps your business get better marketing results through keyword research, finding missed opportunities, and promotion of content.
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.
Limited in what actual analytics you can get out of Alexa.

Alexa for business makes sense
Comments: Alexa for business has streamlined many tedious tasks and allowed employees to access features on the go. It’s helped our business function more efficiently.
Pros:
Being able to purchase supplies with my voice is amazing. I am able to have a joint calendar with my coworkers and use Alexa to update appointments while I’m engaged in other tasks. Multitasking is an essential requirement if my job and Alexa helps me achieve that.
Cons:
The cost for a device for every room was a bit daunting. We waited for sales to purchase the devices and gradually expanded. There are some words the device struggles to understand at times
Not the best toolset in the competitor analysis field
Comments: 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!
Alexa Ranking
Comments: It was required by management to use Alexa as ranking tool and SEO, we had many issue with the tool, but it was still the most popular website ranking tool.
Pros:
so popular and data availablity for long time
Cons:
Lake of detailed analytics, no integration with third-party tool
Alexa is good but could be more intuative.
Comments: I use the Alexa app mostly to control my smart home devices, and music.
Pros:
I love the ability to control devices individually or as a group.
Cons:
I dislike the redunduncy Of the setup process.
Great interactive
Comments: I am not having to be on my phone all the time looking for prices.
Pros:
I like the ease at which Alexa allows me to compare pricing. I can just speak my request and get an answer in minutes.
Cons:
Able to not bring up so much information. Sometimes it brings up the wrong prices as compared to online.
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 for personal use
Comments: 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.
Alexa
Comments: One of the best features of alexa is their alexa ranking which seo expert use in weeding out low quality blogs with high domain authority.
Pros:
Alexa gives me a complete information about my blog. This information help me to outrank my competitor and find long tail keyword easily.
Cons:
Alexa is geared towards big business who will not mind spending huge money but the pricing is very expensive.
A great growth tool
Pros:
I really enjoy that Alexa is plain and simply easy to use, dispute some minor hiccups with setup , I don’t have too many complaints.
Cons:
For the simplicities of my everyday use , Alexa gets the job done well however I would not use this software for heavy duty work specifically because it’s doesnt necessarily understand neutral commands and that can be a bit of an issue for larger scaling.
Alexa is excellent to find your target audience and your interests
Comments: thanks to Alexa I got high profits due to its powerful tools to perfect SEO
Pros:
thanks to alexa I found a powerful segmentation of my target audience and achieved a lot of conversions in my online marketing campaign
Cons:
I do not like the mobile version of Alexa, I think the responsive design can improve, but in general Alexa is very good.
Alexa Review
Comments: 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.

I haven't found anything I dislike about Alexa.
Alexa Assistant
Comments: Alexa makes my life easier by setting thermostats and giving me smart home data.
Pros:
I find Alexa very easy to use and has many useful features like weather and timers. I also use for smart home control.
Cons:
Sometimes Alexa does not understand the question and it has to be rephrase to get an answer. Sometimes Alexa does not know how to answer.
One of the rating to consider
Pros:
Alexa has been a staple of website ranking tools for traffic and authority differentiation. Whenever you need to make a list of sites/companies, you can expect to have them ranked in Alexa.
Cons:
Alexa is only one of the services for this job. It's ratings are good and more or less reliable, but don't get surprised when a different service will yield different results. Try others and check which one you trust more. Neither is wrong, it just comes down to your particular experience.
Chrome App
Comments: I like to use the google chrome extension. I get a quick overview of how popular the site is and by which countries. It's free so it's a good value for the buck.
Pros:

Alexa the questions answer for my kids

Cons:
What I liked the least was that it was time consuming to do the initial set up.. but it was really a non issue
Good for accurate website analytics
Comments: I use Alexa to gauge how popular websites are for business purposes. I work in PR, so we rank different media outlets/websites in a tiered approach, based on the analytics provided by Alexa.

I haven't come across anything yet because I'm so new to using the product.
