Majestic is best used in conjunction with a tool like Moz and SEMRush. Although it can be used by itself, it is difficult to work with unless you really know what you're looking for and how to use that data when you find it.

Ahrefs Site Explorer comes pretty close to Majestic SEO. I always used both the tools in parallel as some features were better in Ahrefs. But if you are looking for a cheaper tool and don't use the backlink research tool so often, go for one of the plans from Majestic SEO.

Majestic is a really great tool if your company is spending considerable resources on ongoing SEO efforts. In general, Majestic isn't for beginner SEO users, but a more advanced tool to get into deep SEO tactics. I would recommend this for agencies that have a significant investment in SEO. If you're a small team or a small business looking to improve SEO for yourself or company, there are platforms that offer a variety of tools for new to moderate expertise.

I like Majestic's own metrics Trust and Citation flow, that are very representative of the real value of the website and it's potential effect on the rankings of the website it's linking to.
Also, theme (topic) of the website is very useful in the backlink report. This allows to easily identify backlinks relevant to your business.
The index of number of backlinks that is provided by Majestic is usually a lot bigger than the indexes of their competitors.
Lost link tracker is very useful for tracking dropped links of your projects (you can verify and track multiple domains). This allows to keep track on how many of your ads and articles stay live and sometimes we contact publishers to tell them that their changes on the website (i.e. updates) caused our article or link to go down.

Once you've grown accustomed to the depth and accuracy of Majestic's crawl, it's hard to consider paying for anything else (or settling for free options).

The interface is a little less intuitive than it could be. The data is often available but filtering and manipulating the data can be a little difficult at times. Expanded comparisons would be helpful since most of the time seeing more than a few competitors at a time allows for a better sense of how to forecast.
