What do you like best about the product?
Alexa's voice activated commands make it easy to set up reminders for your day, make calls, and be hands free while working. Alexa helps improve efficiency in the office, while also helping with convenience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alexa can have a hard time reading some voice commands from certain people which is an issue at times. Also, the pricing is a bit steep for the benefits, in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alexa helps with daily reminders, and convenience in the office. An additional benefit that I have realized is that it spices up the office and makes simple tasks more enjoyable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! Amazon has some great products that are typically cheaper than competitors!

My Alexa Experience

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Alexa is a time saver and helps to get things done without me having to stop and do it. It’s simply as delegating tasks to someone else
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes had to repeat myself. I couldn’t say things too fast so I’d that to make sure my speech was super clear and loud
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling was easy to do. Kept me organized and print reminders


    Design

Useful but at the same time more of a gimmick then a need

What do you like best about the product?
Makes simple searches easy and effortless without having to always go to a computer or smart phone
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don’t dislike much of anything about it, although as I said in my header it’s more of a gimmick then something I actually need
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Honestly it’s not any sort of ground breaking or earth shattering software, aside from the ease of a voice search or setting reminders I could function without it

A fully-managed service to control all out smart devices

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since we have integrated alexa in our meeting rooms thus the employees can join meetings in conference rooms by saying, "Alexa, start the meeting". Alexa turns on the video conferencing equipment, dials into our conference call, and facilitates the start of the meeting with no need of involving any IT guy to help for the same.

Also, we have built our own alexa app for our customers by which they can get an overview of their account by just using a couple of voice commands.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Alexa does not save voice signature thus it makes it easy for any passerby to call the Alexa wake word and interrupt the meeting by giving useless commands. Alexa sometimes also catches wake words from between the conversations and perform unnecessary actions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alexa for Business will integrate with Office 365 and Google's G Suite, and it will also support on-premises Exchange for business users to handle calendar scheduling and other processes.

It also gives us easy control for many apps that we use in our organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Alexa for Business is a fully-managed service that allows the connection of multiple Alexa devices in the office.

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Alexa can automatically call into conference calls- and order snacks for the office!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the API was more accessible. We use proprietary HR software and our coding team could not integrate Alexa's API into our software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great time and effort saver so I can focus on the problems that really matter.

AWS is to simplify and provide a management plan for the smart office that's Alexa-powered. AWS will also benefit from all the smarts in Alexa are in the cloud. Trying to integrate all the devices with the help of Alexa

What do you like best about the product?
Alexa for business makes it easy for us to have an intercom system that is easily moved, while having other skills built in to help with other basic tasks that save time and money.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can’t think of any huge dislikes except for maybe being able to use language more naturally would be nice. Eliminate all the keywords.

Employees are happier! Being able to turn a light on or off, call someone a couple offices over, send a message to IT, all without having to think really reduces stress
