Unreliable and never works properly Most of the time when you attempt to use the site its freezing, crashing, takes 10 mins to carry out a simple search, or just takes 10 mins and doesn't do anything. Terrible site that is rarely ever working properly. If you've got plenty of time to waste waiting for it to actually do something, this is for you. If you haven't got plenty of time to waste waiting for it to do something or of you don't like customer service that work 1 minute of a day, this is not for you.

Need a larger database of keywords When gathering and analyzing competitive keywords via tools such as Kombat, SpuFu is one of the best tools on the market. But my team has struggled getting baseline monthly search volume when trying to identify new keywords opportunities. We work in a niche sector so while this is not surprising, we found other tools that met these needs better.

I'm not happy with this crowd. I'm not happy with this crowd. I've decided to subscribe to their "Professional", $39 for the first month, package. In one instance they charged me two times $39, in two separate transactions marked as "Groceries". When I raised the issue with their representative, they denied the two transactions and offered to refund me "the only $39 payment they have on their system" and keep the "subscription" on - even after I send them proof from my bank of the transaction reports for the two separate charges of $39 each marked as "Groceries". Well, that's when they stopped chatting with me and I see that the "subscription" had been cancelled immediately. But I am still short of $78. Oh, and suddenly the email address I submitted to them got bombarded with spam "reports". May be coincidence, right?

Poor performance The reports would not work and the server continued to lock when I tried to get one url report or three url's to see what my competitors were doing as far as ppc.

Mhaw. Expensive for what it delivers. I was to download back link reports in PDF format. I contacted spyfu twice about this. No solution... Also the program just delivers US based data, you cannot drill into individual sates. Some of the competitive reports are just off. But then again it come up with some useful keywords.
