Google Alerts

Avantages

It is easy to setup, customizable, easy to use tool. Anyone can use it without any hassle in their daily work routine

Inconvénients

We need to be very precise what sort of information we need otherwise due to its global nature lots of unnecessary inputs can flood you

Avantages

The fact that I can get news about a certain topic. And without need of a search.

Inconvénients

I am generally happy with this software.

Avantages

Google alerts is the simplest business tool to set up, and it comes free of any charges. And one of the features I love most about the service is that the flexibility it gives me in setting up the frequency of alerts and notifications. For less urgent subjects, I am able to avoid the inconvenience or distraction real-time alerts would cause; and for the much more pressing ones, I am able to stay on in sync with developments as they happen.

Inconvénients

Given the increased relevance of social media, I think it would be a great addition if Google Alerts were expanded to cover content from major social media platforms as well, since a great majority of interactions happen there.

Avantages

è possibile creare fino a 1000 alert, e il tutto gratis! Lo uso per monitorare la posizione dell'azienda per cui lavoro. Ho impostato anche degli alert per monitorare i nostri concorrenti aziendali e ascoltare ciò che gli altri utenti stanno discutendo riguardo ai nostri marchi.

Inconvénients

Google Alert non fornisce la possibilità di generare alcun report di analisi, e non è l'ideale per monitorare i risultati dei social media.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It was very easy to set up and it helps me feel safer while I’m on the Internet. It also only takes seconds to let me know that somebody’s trying to login to my Google accounts or on any of my websites. I don’t even have to use two factor authentication anymore so this is positively impacted my life.

Inconvénients

I love everything about it there’s absolutely nothing I would change about this product. I will continue to use this for years to come..

The only issue with google alert is sometimes to don't recieve alerts , despite the fact that there is changes in content or update from the business community.

2. The moment there are new results, you will get email notifications.
3. You can customize the frequency of notifications and choose all results or the best ones.
4. You can keep the search terms as wide or narrow as you want. The more niche and specific the keyword is, the better the alerts will be. So it is better to narrow down your keywords.

Inconvénients

1. It may be overwhelming if you are careless about the number of alerts and notifications.

3. Some notifications may not be directly related to your keywords and may not be relevant at all.

Avantages

That the alerts came through everyday at about 5:00 p.m.

Definitley love the consistency of trusting that it will be in my email inbox everyday at about the same time

Inconvénients

Can't think of any at the moment, but will let you know if I ver do.

Avantages

Google Alerts es un imprescindible para nosotros, tener información de lo que se dice de nuestras marcas y de la mano de google casi en tiempo real es totalmente necesario para poder reaccionar a tiempo, llevo mucho tiempo utilizandolo y merece mucho la pena, además es muy facil de configurar ¡ Muy recomendable !

Inconvénients

No hay nada negativo de esta herramienta, muy recomendable

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

The ease of use and the ability to keep me on track is worth way more that I pay for!

Inconvénients

I wish more people used it. We have created many users for Google Alerts through our business dealings with them. They see how it works for us and they use it based upon that. Google Alerts works.

Avantages

The program was excellent, and because it is interactive, it informs users of upgrades.

Inconvénients

I think we should send Pop-ups for the users because people are lazy to open their e-mails. They should change more colors and the make it more fun to use.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

This is one of those products that you should use in your company. SUPER essential.

Inconvénients

Nothing, i really think it's all ok with it

Avantages

Highly visual and connected to other Google suite of products both for enterprise and consumers

Inconvénients

Alerts are often outdated by days or even weeks. The AI algorithm serving these up needs to be tweaked to serve more relevant and timely content.

Avantages

I no longer have to spend long hours jumping from link to link to find the most relevant content online. Google Alerts does all the work for me and works perfectly filtering the results by the exact keywords and specifications I provide.

Inconvénients

Nothing actually. Google alerts delivers exactly what I expect of it and in the process saves me a lot of time and effort.

Avantages

Google alerts are the best way to stay updated in this fast-paced world. You can select the topics in which you are interested, and you will receive notifications about them. This app is simple to use.

Inconvénients

There are no cons discovered as of yet, but notification or alert settings must be configured.

Avantages

It lets the google user know of their recent log-ins in their account. In case of something unusual, It alerts the user in the event someone else is trying to access sensitive information one can be able to prevent it in time.

Inconvénients

The Alerts are often sent to your email even if you log into your other device.

Avantages

From setting up Google Alerts the emails came in to keep me on top topics of interest and as well as when my business is mentioned in other people's posting. This gives me in the moment reaction plans to get connected or correct misinformation.

Inconvénients

What I like least is it tends to pick up the word 'lifting up' when I have set it to 'L.I.F.T.(I.N.G.) Up' as this is part of my branding. It doesn't recognize punctuation.

Avantages

Google Alert è una buona soluzione per ricevere avvisi tramite e-mail o notifiche push gratuitamente.
Ti permette di risparmiare tempo, grazie alla personalizzazione degli avvisi e puoi impostare avvisi per varie categorie, come lavoro, giochi, sport e tutto ciò che desideri.

Inconvénients

Diciamo che avrebbe bisogno di essere implementato con altre funzionalità e filtri. Al momento mostra solo i risultati presenti in Google, quindi se ad esempio sto cercando lavoro, ma l'annuncio di ricerca non si trova in google, quell'avviso non mi arriverà.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

A facilidade que o Google Alerts oferece é um dos seus maiores pontos positivos

Inconvénients

Os e-mails poderiam ter uma frequência pré-definida. A impressão é que chegam ao acaso, poderia ser um relatório semanal.

Avantages

I am always up to date on all the current events going on in my country and around the world. This is a great way to stay informed. Google alerts is a very easy way to get up to date information.

Inconvénients

I have no complaints . I have not ran into any problems with this software.

Avantages

i found the mobile alerts to be very helpful. also the activity tracking has been of very immense help because it has boosted up my workflow. the email alerts are also very efficient. the filter to choose the types of alerts that i want to recieve has also been helpful in customizing it effectively.

Inconvénients

the keyword tracking sometimes lead to wrong results and spam results and alerts. also i think there are privacy and security issues that are very concerning.

Avantages

I like the fact that it is super easy to setup the tool and start getting reports on the topics of interest directly on your inbox

Inconvénients

I dislike the fact that some of the sources are very bad quality

Avantages

Keeps the person up to date. It is free to use and is customizable. One can customize the alerts as they wish. This saves time and effort to research for new topics. I have a small Print on Demand business and I receive emails related to POD daily in my inbox. It gives me new ideas and helps me to stalk on my competitor's shirt designs and keeps me updated about the latest POD trends.

Inconvénients

It sends so many emails sometimes and I don't have enough time to read them all. Also its interface looks outdated and not engaging. It needs redesigning and more customization options. Also, it sends irrelevant news articles sometimes which I am not interested in reading.

Avantages

Google Alerts is a free instrument from Google that allows you to screen the web for specifies. Fundamentally, it sends messages to a client when Google observes new outcomes that match a client's pursuit term. This is fabulous for advertisers, as you can get alarms when your name, organization, or watchwords are referenced anyplace on the web.

Inconvénients

Nothing. At times I get unessential cautions which I simply overlook.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Tied to google, it sources its output from the largest domain possible. I hardly miss out on any development related on my subject or event of interest. Also, setting up alerts is quite easy and simple.

Inconvénients

Getting the optimal keywords composition can be quite tricky. Too broad and you get overwhelmed by notifications from several false or unrelated updates; too narrow and you might end up missing out on several important update sources.

Avantages

The simplistic design makes it easy for me to set a weekly alert specifically for the knowledge I am looking for. This is a real time saver since I don't have to manually put in search criteria each week. I get an email with condensed articles and choose the ones I want to read. I am so thankful to have the information I need come right to me. I get pertinent trend information and keywords to keep me on top of my game.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the articles in the weekly email are not exactly on topic.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

This is an incredibly easy way for me to keep tabs on some of the clients I work with (eg, getting industry news and competitor updates) as well as some of the websites I monitor.

Inconvénients

I guess it took a little toying around to get it set up properly. For example, with proper names I learned that using "name" quotes like that made it much more accurate and manageable.

Avantages

I use Google Alerts to monitor on the one hand any kind of brand related queries and on the other hand to monitor our most important keywords. Like this you are always up-to-date if your brand was mentioned somewhere or if there is new interesting content about your most important keywords / topic areas.

Inconvénients

Sometimes you get quite a lot of spam or useless alerts. However, I have the impressions that they improved the algorithm, as this happens in the last months not that often any more.

Avantages

Eu gosto de receber os alertas dos temas que sigo afim de manter-me informado sobre tudo que preciso saber.

Inconvénients

Não tenho idéia do que posso achar um contra deste recurso. Me ajuda. Talvez a categorização e temas das notícias ser mais amplo, variado.

Avantages

As someone who works in a super-fast paced industry with new updates, news, and innovations happening every day, Google Alerts has made managing and staying on top of important news incredibly simple. With Alerts, my team is able to share updates and news delivered directly to our inboxes while keeping our finger on the pulse of exciting developments within our industry.

Inconvénients

Sometimes, Google Alerts can be a little overwhelming depending on the user's settings and, at times, hundreds of alerts can be sent which makes email management a bit difficult at times. In rare instances, alerts are sometimes sent that do not pertain to the subject subscribed to, which can sometimes be annoying.

Avantages

I love that I was able to set up several alerts for different topics that I am interested in being notified on. Google alerts does a great job of notifying me when the information I am interested in becomes available or updated.

Inconvénients

There have been a few cases where my Google alert that I received it doesn’t really pertain to the information that I was creating the alert for. However most of the time the alerts are spot on.

Avantages

It takes almost no time to set up, you can change and customize the alert frequencies, and it is simply a great tool to compile all the data you want into a single email waiting for you to open at your convenience. I love that it is free and quick. You can get alerted of how and when people are mentioning your company/organization around the web, you can track the details and news about rival organizations or ones that you're interested in.

Inconvénients

While it does a good job with web articles, since a lot of the mentions and conversations happen on social media, it would be great if Alerts could help up track topics over on such platforms as well. There is also no analytics or reports of how often the keywords are mentioned. There is also no filter options for keywords, like - full-phrases mention or single keyword mention etc...

Avantages

i use google alerts to get many kind of alerts on my phone everyday

Inconvénients

somz alerts are in some moments late and don't come on time

Avantages

Google Alerts makes it really convenient to look at what the top publications are saying about a certain topic and unlocks a lot of opportunities for our outreach. It also provudes with some great insights that I'd have probably missed during my research.

Inconvénients

I did not find any cons while using Google Alerts

Avantages

Google Alerts have been very helpful in our business keeping us informed of industry news and trends. We start our day by reading a daily digest of keywords that our clients are searching as well as keywords we need to stay abreast of the breaking news and make informed business decisions.

Inconvénients

The alerts can become redundant and repetitive for larger keyword terms and subject matters. It's typical on a busy news day for the alerts to flood your email box unless you have them managed.

Avantages

The fact that this application is free just like many of Google's other applications makes this a must-have. I pretty much use this for all of my devices as Google Alerts is flexible and obtainable from any platform. You can link your entire google calendar to receive notifications and it is amazing.

Inconvénients

It is somewhat confusing to navigate at times to get the correct settings or wonder what else this application offers however this is still a great application.

Avantages

Google alerts are great for keeping me up to date on mentions of my brand on the web.

Inconvénients

Data isn’t always complete, particularly with press mentions which are often missed.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It is easy to use and compared to others platform these required less power these will integrated with Google applications.

Inconvénients

These will track whole things what is we doing with the secure data also tracks by the Google.

Avantages

What I love most about Google Alerts is that it saves me time and frustration. Instead of trolling through news outlets every day, I tell Google what I need and it arrives in my email box several times a day. I also have other less urgent alerts delivered via RSS that I can access when needed

Inconvénients

It's funny that THE search engine masters of the universe sometimes deliver alerts that are laughably irrelevant to the keywords that were requested.

Avantages

It is very simple to set up Google alerts; it literally takes seconds to set an alert that can really save my life!

Inconvénients

I have no complaints. Staying on top of things is something I've struggled with, but with the alerts, I just don't worry half as much.

Avantages

que puedo ocuparme de mis actividades diarias sin preocupaciones y las alertas me avisan cuando debo asistir a una junta, incluso cuando me llegan correos nuevos

Inconvénients

la verdad no pensé qe fuera tan eficiente este servicio de alertas, hasta que las empecé a usar

Avantages

Been using this for years! Best way to keep in the know with competitors and the market!

Inconvénients

I get daily emails that I sometimes don't look at. It gets tedious.
