Chose Lumar
Lumar is great for what it does - tracking technical changes and opportunities for a site. It does so affordably as well. In my opinion it would be best compared to Screaming Frog as it does essentially the same thing but with less flexibility on the backend and a much cleaner …
Chose Lumar
DeepCrawl is a great tool when compared to other similar solutions. What sets it apart from the competition in my experience with it, is the convenience of the cloud. In addition to having a multitude of tools faced by a digital marketer in today's landscape from analysis of …

Ahrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox. It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research. It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions. In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market. But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have.

If someone is looking for a SEO tool that excels in finding technical issues for a site, Lumar is a fantastic choice. Not only does it outline everything that's wrong, it does a much better job than other tools as to showing you how it the issue is presented. For instance many tools could outline a temporary redirect on your site, but Lumar will show you where that redirect starts, if there's a chain involved, and why it's worth fixing

Cons
Ahrefs
  • Can't export graphs: some graphs within the tool would be useful as an export. Unfortunately, exporting them is not an option.
  • No "blanket" reporting options: though Ahrefs is excellent for gathering and exporting intel/data, there are no blanket SEO reports provided. Exporting data is great, but simple report exporting would make it better.

  • I find the loading panel during a crawl to be a bit deceptive. It's very hard to tell how long a crawl will take—a more accurate estimate would go a long way.
  • I love the "fetch time" tab in theory, but I have a hard time believing it—not that the figure they give is untrue, but I find it at wide variance with other tools. PageSpeedInsights will have a site looking disastrous and DeepCrawl will log it all fetching "quick". But perhaps page speed is just notoriously difficult to assess.

Their index is too vast to ignore when looking at a complete backlink profile. We find links in Ahrefs that do not appear in any other link detection tool. For this reason, it's a must for our agency to use for the foreseeable future. Plus, it's very affordable considering the data you get

Usability
Ahrefs
Ahrefs is very easy to use - you can jump right in and understand most of the assets. Overall, the dashboard snapshots give a very good picture of inbound link activity. For deeper analysis of historical trends, the system can become cumbersome, making it hard to do full work without exporting and reformatting the data.

It's great once you know how to use it... That being said there can definitely be some hiccups trying to learn the program. Even when writing this review i originally gave it an 8 and realized how many things I didn't even know existed after using it for a couple of years. Not the best 'usability' if you can't even find all the features you might want to use.

Support Rating
Ahrefs
Ahrefs has always been responsive when there's been a technical issue with the site. There are usually very little problems, but if there are, they announce it on their social media accounts which keeps its customers informed. Email support is prompt and the customer service people are very helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

I liked the platform overall. It is a good crawler. I no longer use because it's duplicate of what I get with seoClarity. I did not give it 10/10 because sometimes I had a hard time isolating site areas that I wanted and didn't get much technical support from Conductor on how to use the tool

Majestic and Ahrefs are really close in terms of tool. Ahrefs does offer competitive comparison and they do have a more up to date data base. Majestic however has a more comprehensive historical view of sites which is also extremely valuable. Majestic also offers a link velocity chart that is missing on Ahrefs. Ahrefs makes up for this with their links gained/lost calendar which Majestic is missing.

All of the products I have used have been amazing in their own way, but DeepCrawl makes it easier to put it into visuals. Sometimes when you look at results, it can be quite difficult to get something easy to understand. DeepCrawl gets rid of that, the results are so easy to comprehend. I would recommend it to any data consultant (DC).
