Pros and Cons

Clarity. Bing Webmaster Tools is well-designed and easy to navigate, even for beginners.
Keyword rankings. Gives more visibility than Google Search Console into how your website ranks for specific keywords.
In-program SEO editing. Allows you to submit URLs, disavow links, block URLs, control BingBot's crawl, and more.

Better clarity on traffic data from Bing and Yahoo separately.
Easier ownership verification.

Pros and Cons

The analytics on the dashboard is impressive when compared to Google.
Reporting provides in-depth material for your site.
Great shortcuts that allow you to manage your Bing business listings.

Being able to add other users to your main account. We use 2 accounts to manage our listings and our Webmaster tool.
Chat support would be useful, especially if they are able to view your screen and walk you through any issues.

Pros and Cons

Make it easy to submit new pages to be crawled
SEO reports provide feedback on our webpages that aren't following best-practices
Overall there are a lot of different second-level tools that you may not know exist until you begin using it

The user-interface isn't as friendly or appealing as Google's - very bland overall.
The way they present their Page Traffic report is a big turn-off. It's basically just a grid of numbers and arrows which is hard to interpret at a high level.

Pros and Cons

Site crawls, once initiated, don't take very long to complete
SEO analysis tells you which pages are not following best practices
Page Traffic reports tell you which of your sites are appearing in search, their position in the rankings, and how it's been performing over time
You can see the keywords people use to search for your site

The interface could be a little bit better when compared to Google's solution

Pros and Cons

Quick access to all of your Bing stats.
The ability to jump between SEO, keyword and site maximization makes working in Bing Webmaster tools easy.
The diagnostic tools that allow you to research issues or overcome challenges is really clean and easy to navigate.

The UI is simple but very boring. It's very Microsoft and not very elegant.
On the display of analytics, it is also very simple, without the ability to change graphs or charts to better display data.
Bing Businesses could be better integrated and takes you to another site to view that data.
