Pros

The other excellent feature that I found exclusive to SEM rush was PPC competitor tracking. Knowing what competitors are bidding on is beyond the realm of a usual SEO software and is a great addition.
It includes a site health grade, all the Errors/Warnings, and gives ideas on how to make improvements on the site. I also love love love the automated reporting.
Although AHref is the best, but semrush is so far the second best. Has everything that AHref have, and happy for it.

Pros

The scheduling was great and the reports are probably the best out there. It also has a great mobile app which never crashed on me.
Just choose the option that fits your needs. Another Buffer feature I love is the ability to share the same post to multiple platforms with the appropriate variations.
It's great to help clients who have never used a scheduling platform before, it's quite easy to use and reliable.

Cons

Everything has been a frustrating struggle. Many features that are included with the starter level of other online SEO platforms cost extra with SEMrush.
SEMRush has been horrible to learn and work with. Nothing is intuitive or user-friendly.
It's sad that I would have to pay almost half of my subscription price just to have a second user be able to access our account.

Cons

Buffer has been one of the only platforms I've had trouble with when it comes to failed posts. It didn't happen that frequently, but it happened often enough that it was a pain point.
It can be a little confusing to learn the interface and features of customizing for each platform.
But these generally are problems users can expect to encounter with any social scheduling platform.
