Alexa Internet (discontinued) vs. Visitor Queue

I recommend Alexa for small businesses where you don't need much customization. Otherwise, I think big companies should implement their own tools.

We have been using Visitor Queue for a while now. To be honest, we have not seen anything wrong or difficult to use or that can be improved Providing a discount for the startups would be the only thing that we can ask or add Other than that we are pretty satisfied

• It sources website analytics for most websites we're interested in tracking.
• Each website's dashboard is easy to understand and pull numbers from.
• We can get very nitty gritty with the numbers we're pulling or keep it simple by just pulling basic website visitor stats.

• Allows you to have more than one website being tracked

• The companies identified were a mixture of ISPs and companies
• It did not capture as many companies as other products
• That's about it. Not much more I can add.

we are still early stage and costs are a little bit high and we need to have a bigger team to optimize the outcome

it was pretty straight forward and easy to use with small teams

It is well structured for Internet analytics and traffic data.

we had no problems in getting support

the training was ok, we knew the basics and we didnt need intensive training.

It was easy to implement and we did not have any issiues

If you want to focus only on your own web analytics, then Google Analytics is the way to go as no product will give you more accurate data. However, what Google Analytics cannot do is the competitive analysis functionality, which is where a product like Alexa comes in. It's about on par with SimilarWeb in many ways, they just go about the analytics in slightly different ways. Really, it comes down to personal preference as to which you prefer. Thankfully both offer free trials so you can test out the platforms before fully committing. SimilarWeb may be a bit better in terms of mobile web data.

I evaluated Lead Forensics. It's very similar to Visitor Queue but more expensive and I would say the only thing that seems to be a bit better is their dashboard is more comprehensive/visual.

• I am ready to write a full blown Alexa skill application to make money
• I got exposed to the Web development environment of Amazon web service by learning Alexa

Incentivized

• We did not select the tool.
• It was in the top 3 of solutions we looked at
• Again, we had a unique requirement and it didn't fit
