It can be difficult at times to customize the types of alerts you receive, even though Google allows you to create the alert yourself.

I wish they had a timer to set a specific time to set an alert, as we might miss the alert in a mailbox, if it has a time-specific alert, then it helps the user to check the alert at their available time.

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.  

This solves the issue of having to worry if somebody’s gonna login and we’re not gonna catch it and it’s just overall a great software, and I think everyone should use it, whether it be personal or business.

also the activity tracking has been of very immense help because it has boosted up my workflow.

sometimes the email go to my spam folders without any notification.
