From what I know, Alexa is a company that publishes data about websites (amount of traffic, demographics, etc.) publicly.

Google Analytics data is not public. You install the script (customiZed if needed) and only authorized users get access to the data and there is a boatload...what queries and what positions you showed up for, actual traffic, page flow, user data and more.

I use GA to gather data for optimization. I have also uploaded an Alexa validation page/code/tag to my server so that I am verified in their index and can obtain whatever additional data they might offer...although I don't know what that'd be yet, my website isn't highly trafficked enough to have much Alexa ranking.

If that is what you mean, yeah, use both.
