GBDo NOT USE if UK-based The quality of the product is impressive, however, this is only when it actually works. We signed up during the summer of 2018. It was slow to update and it got to October and there was still no UK data for July, August or September. Spyfu agreed to give us two months reimbursed but this still left us unable to provide accurate reports to management, frustrating when you've just convinced them to purchase Spyfu. Another key issue is the support. If you're UK-based, you won't receive any, well, not until the last hour of your shift. You see, there is no UK-based team it appears. If you have a problem arise at 9.20am, then you aren't going to have a solution until right at the end of your shift (I've experienced this recently when the website was down all day in UK time but there was clearly nobody around to fix it, preventing me from gathering data for our board).

GBNeed 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.

GBA decent platform with a few drawbacks The platform itself is easy to use and we appreciate the ability to automate monthly reports. However, it's frustrating to only be able to pull a monthly report on a specific date. When client meetings fall on or before this date, we are unable to pull the reports with sufficient time to prepare for the meeting. The insights provided are helpful, though it would be nice to see a bit more information on the graphs. We often pull the third page to show clients, and there isn't much information for them to grasp on their own. At the beginning of this month (March 2015), we were unable to pull reports for any of our clients. It took about two weeks for the issue to be resolved. This makes us look unprepared.

GBConcept is great; falls short Concept is great, but does not deliver. I've downloaded reports as PDFs and had them differ from the same report as a CSV file .I spoke with them today and after they updated their site, they found lots of issues. These may resolve. Customer service was a pain in the neck. Once I spoke with someone, it was fine, but no one answered for days, and email response was slow. When I sent screenshots with my issues, my email was marked spam and we went back and forth about that. The site offers a few features for free, but due to the unreliability, paying for it is no better. This site provides enough to scratch the surface, but don't expect too much from them.

GBVery poor initial experience. Far too expensive After subscribing to their lowest plan to try it out I was given the option of spending 192 of my 200 credits to run a Recon Report. Now if I want to run any additional reports they want to charge a lot more. So, in a nutshell my first entire monthly expense allowed me to run ONE report...?? No thanks
