Considered Both Products
Semrush
Chose Semrush
Our company uses nearly every major SEO tool. Semrush has its advantage in its UI/UX and competitive landscape while others have their advantages in other places like bulk management, backlinks (Ahrefs) and, auditing (SF).
Chose Semrush
SEMRush has many more features than the other tools, and the workflow, or ways you access the tool, were smoother as well.
Chose Semrush
For me, Semrush has a good UX and is a trustworthy source of organic traffic data. When compared to other tools, they sometimes could be pretty much off when I observe data in Google Search Console and Google Analytics. That's why I think Semrush does a pretty good job for any …
Chose Semrush
We use Yoast SEO from within WordPress sites to help with the effectiveness of individual pages and posts. It has great value due to being built-in to the website. Semrush provides us with a much more detailed analysis though to look at the overall health of the sites and has …
Chose Semrush
Honestly, Semrush is the only product like it that I've used extensively. Although I have used Moz free version before and didn't love it.
Chose Semrush
Semrush overall UI is much better than Ahrefs and also more easier to use. Although both the tools have similar features, the reporting asp[etc if semrush is a lot better. Even the pricing of Ahrefs is a bit more expensive then semrush in my opinion.
Chose Semrush
Though Google Analytics and Semrush are similar products, when comparing them, the question is not whether you should use one or the other. Rather, understanding what each tool does. Semrush is best for keyword research for content marketing and paid search campaigns, doing …
Chose Semrush
I have only really used Semrush and love it. I do not plan on looking at their competitors in the future because of my comfortability with Semrush.
Chose Semrush
Semrush is a little pricey; it works very well and is very useful.
Chose Semrush
Moz is not as in-depth and not the best for overall strategy. It has some great features but is not a complete system. Semrush has everything you need and is of great value.
Chose Semrush
I find the Semrush certification very useful for teaching.
Chose Semrush
Semrush is hands down much better than Moz. It has much more data and is also much easier to navigate. Ahrefs and Semrush are a bit more evenly matched. Semrush definitely has the edge when it comes to keyword intelligence, but I love Ahrefs for the backlinking data, as well as …
Chose Semrush
Semrush is nice and working on integrating more SEM. It still does not have as many reporting features for SEM as RavenTools, but you can tell they are working on it. It has more features than SpyFu or BrightLocal. Although I like BrightLocal's interface a little better, …
Chose Semrush
It's a close call, but ultimately SEMRush is the better product and has better service.
Chose Semrush
We also use Ahrefs, but since upgrading our Semrush account, we have less and less need for it.
Chose Semrush
Semrush is amazing. Not only is it easy to use, it's better than Moz or Ahrefs combined. The Keyword Research tool and planner is incredible. it makes it easy to pull what keywords we want to rank for and add them to our keyword list. It's helped with productivity and workflow. …
Chose Semrush
I believe that both tools offer valuable insights into the digital ecosystem and both are tools that marketers really need to have access to. Semrush was the first SEO tool I really got to know when I started doing digital marketing, and it will probably be a tool I use for …
Chose Semrush
Frankly, once I started using Semrush and found very quick success, I had no desire or reason to try others. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I did use some other SEO tools in the past, but it was so long ago I don't even recall the names anymore.
Chose Semrush
As an agency starting out I began with Moz. While my memory is not that great of those earlier years, it served us well but we switched because we were looking to upgrade at the time and found RavenTools had a better offering for the money. Again we really enjoyed Raven and …

Semrush
This is suited to plan for keywords in a single market, but it struggles when you need to consolidate several markets. It is well-suited to discover new keywords directly related to the ones being used currently to expand the content the company is creating to get better results.

Cons
Semrush
  • Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating
  • Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT)
  • Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly

Usability
Semrush
SEMRush has a slight learning curve, but everything is organized really well. Once you learn where everything is, using the software and running reports is incredibly easy. You can easily add new projects, get help for improving on-page SEO, and there are even video tutorials that walk you through the whole system if you still feel uncomfortable with it.

I'm in a FB group for Semrush paid users and it amazing! They are fast to respond, take suggestions and help with questions. I have not felt alone in using this product at all. Highly recommend their support team. When I had an issue I can jump into the group and they will help get me the right person to help or even tag their programmers to look at something that is going on. Love the group!

Alternatives Considered
Semrush
We have used both Ahrefs and Semrush extensively at our agency and Semrush remains the tool of choice. We find that Semrush has the largest selection of tools & features to use, with the highest accuracy, and provides top-tier analysis recommendations. It's really is the ultimate all-in-one tool when comparing other performance measurement tools in the digital marketing space.
