Keyword finder. I like it better than using google keyword planner...by a long shot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the UX is a little wonky. The software isn't super user-friendly, if you don't know what you are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the new/lost domains and links. I use the lost links and domains report to follow up with prospects in hopes to renew the link on the site. 9/10 times this works to re-acquire a decent link back to my client's sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was a way to send alerts for lost links in real time. I also feel that the link intersect could be a bit more detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ahrefs accuracy is amazing. It is incredible how much data you can pull from other websites. My team and I use Ahrefs all the time to ensure our content is primed for Google rankings and traffic. Without it, we'd be lost in what content we should write and what keywords we should target.
But I'd also go as far to say that we are constantly learning new things about Ahrefs and what it can do. So much to this tool, it is absolutely incredible.
I'm also a really big fan of their blog. They've got some incredible information there and worth checking out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Ahrefs can do a LOT, their tutorials and training on how to use it is lacking. I wish they'd have a full free course on everything Ahrefs can do. This would have helped my team do a much better job from the beginning and become more comfortable with it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from letting you keep a track on almost all the metrics that impacts website SEO, it allows me to set alerts for backlinks (new and lost), referring domains, product mentions and of course the keyword performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it had the ability to label keywords that are being tracked. When you have multiple content strategies running as the same time, the keyword labels (and label groups in general) let you keep clear on what's working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how you can browse your competitor's backlink profile. This gives me new ideas of where I can push SEO development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that Ahrefs does not update in real time. I usually will see backlinks update 2-3 days after they go live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It finds more links than similar tools, and provides tools to help explore them. Provides access to deep information on competitor sites. Regularly adds new features to help marketers explore their link profile; one example being separating out "Live" and "Fresh" index so you can find recent but non current links.

A little expensive. Support responses can be slow. Interface can be rather confusing although they recently improved it a lot (see above re: regular updates). I couldn't get the Chrome Extension to work in any of my installations of Chrome, so I still use competitor toolbars in my browser. You can't ever change your login email address thanks to the billing system, so choose carefully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that the tool has a very useful historical look at your backlink profile. It allows you to track individual keywords matched to specific URL's. You can also look at specifc URL's and see how many and what backlinks you have with those pages specificly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that in some ways the dashboard views are a bit hard to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the content explorer gives great up to date insights in whats being put out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
position tracking always kind of off - isnt accurate to my google searches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used Ahrefs since it was first released. The team has done an amazing job of staying current with new updates in search and is constantly pushing the product in new and exciting directions. I am seriously a huge fan. It's a lot more than an SEO tool - it's a general purpose growth marketing tool that can help you a lot when it comes to putting together a marketing or PR strategy.

I would say that i don't always have confidence in their proprietary metrics like DR, but I mainly use them as a raw data source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can easily keep track of sites that have linked to your content and drill down to the specific URL where your link appears. You can also see when those links appeared and how authoritative each one is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The organic and paid search estimators are inaccurate. The position heatmap is designed to give you an overview of rankings, but is nearly impossible to discern since it's a blur of colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
