I demoed the tool and advised whether it should be adopted by my team (it was adopted in the end.) I found the tool both thorough and easy to use in terms of competitive intelligence and keyword tracking, but found significant issues with its accuracy in reporting investment figures. It did an inconsistent job of reporting competitive spend data but was more than competent at just about everything else.
Pros
Excellent at tracking keywords and competitive SEM activity at a high level. If you want to know the when and where of competitors' activity on search and digital SEMrush is easy to recommend. Very easy to use while being thorough at the same time.
Cons
My only complaint was the poor accuracy of the competitive data. We ran some internal studies and found that the tool, while excellent at tracking keywords and the when and where of competitors' activity on search and digital, its accuracy was all over the place in terms of the actual dollars spent. If you aren't looking for hard $$ of *how much* your competitors are investing in search, this is still a good tool in terms of general keyword tracking, site tracking, and high level competitive intelligence. But the $$ tracking simply wasn't consistent on my end.

It's a tool used on a daily basis to perform SEO tasks, there are additional features which help focus on the content and tech side but overall i have used it for keyword research which has been effective.
Pros
If you're familiar with SEO it's very easy to use, as it's so popular there are a lot of helpful guides and blog posts to get the most out of the platform
Cons
Not too many cons, but each tool has their own strengths. One con would be concurrent project limitations. Also you're better off using crawling software like screaming frog or lumar for your tech insights

It's a classic SEO tool and a must-have for every SEO consultant. It's perfect for quickly analyzing competitor websites as well as your own. It's a very powerful tool if you know how to use it and what to look for. In my opinion, it's only worthwhile in the hands of SEO and marketing experts.
I would love it to be a bit cheaper, but it's worth the price.
Pros
As an SEO consultant, what I like the most about SEMRush is that it includes almost all the features I need on a daily basis: it allows me to analyze my website and my competitors' websites at a glance, it helps me keep track of the backlinks I have, and it enables me to conduct quick SEO audits. Additionally, it's very user-friendly.
Cons
In my opinion, there are two cons of SemRush:
First of all, sometimes there are more-specific tools for some taks. For example: I prefer to use SERPROBOT for Keyword Tracking, Ahrefs for Backlinking/Outreach campaigns and Keyword Planner from Google Ads for keyword research.
Lastly, the problem with SemRush is that it's quite pricy. The Guru plan is around 250USD.

Pretty bad customer support and a very bad mouthing account executive named [sensitive content hidden] .
Pros
Good tool and easy to use. Because of the problems i am thinking about looking for another tool.
Cons
Observe other websites is not working well. Customer support is terrible. I am customer for 3 years and started at the 7th of August. Suddenly they stopped my account at the 6th of July. When i submit this problem to [sensitive content hidden] , my 'account executive', she did not help me. "She couldn't look back" for 3 years. She gave me a headache every mail she sent. In the end we were on a call and the bad mouthing just continued. In the end customer support had two ladies who found the problem. First said: ok we extend 3 weeks. Second said: till the 7th of August. Result: a downgraded account. SEMrush doesn't call me or send me a message. Only thing they care about is extending the product. But they don't care about their customers.
