I loved this product; it worked perfectly for contest solutions across many of our clients, and ended up very useful for my entire team to get inspired with new opportunities in campaign types.
Not being able to use the same link when you need to unpublish and republish due to Facebook errors.
This has a great visual interface making it super easy to do basic coding and create your own landing pages and giveaway pages and ability to export the list if you upgrade.
It's a bit confusing to get the hang of at first if you are running multiple campaigns for different businesses.
Overall it’s a great tool and allows businesses like ours to not pay more for pricey developers we can do this ourselves for minimal cost but great results.
The software seems to have a hard learning curve, not meant for the "average" user. The cost is also too much in my opinion.
Loved all of the different options that you had to create an awesome contest and the customer support is outstanding.
Software can be a little confusing at times, just a lot of information in one place.
Great software for providing competitive analysis data and tracking web performance over time. We use a few months out the year to provide competitive analysis and to look for areas of opportunity.
But sometimes this is not possible due to this problem.
I like the global rankings as an indicator of site performance. I also like that it shows you competing sites and this helps in measuring your performance and improving.
Able to not bring up so much information. Sometimes it brings up the wrong prices as compared to online.
What I like best is that Alexa is easy to use. She listens carefully and the majority of the time she has accurate information and answers to whatever you ask her.
Limited in what actual analytics you can get out of Alexa.
My overall experience with Alexa has been great. Ease-of-use it’s good and the app itself will help you if you’re not sure what to do.
No new features that aren't already offered on other platforms.
Andrew B: Hi, my name is Andrew. I am an SEO manager. I would give Alexa a three out five. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Alexa, we were using Comscore and Comscore is a great tool, but Alexa is better for our organization in terms of pricing, and additionally offered several features for us that Comscore did not. The primary reason we chose to go to Alexa was because of price. However, it also offered several features that we really liked. For example, being able to look at a competitor set and being able to look at share market. Getting started with Alexa was incredibly easy. It runs pretty much completely in the cloud. So, after signing up, it was pretty seamless to get up and running. For any organization looking at using Alexa, I would recommend that they look at alternative options and decide what is best for them. Several alternatives had different feature sets and it really just depends on what fits best with the organization.
