    Pros
    I also enjoy seeing what's trending overall, and find it very useful to identify influencers in a certain topic area. The design of the site is also very intuitive, good looking and easy to use.
    Interesting features that are very useful for social listening and seeing what is trending on social media or the news.
    Depending on the topic and task at hand, Buzzsumo can be a rather useful tool to get you some great content ideas. Used it a couple of times to get ideas of headlines and content ideas.
    Cons
    Sometimes the mentions I get are from weird or low-value publications/sites.
    The navigation can be confusing at times, especially the sections I don't use.
    Free trial very limited in functionality. Also severely lacks features compared to other "real" SEO software companies when it comes to backlink research.
