I lover the user experience and ease of the tool. I think the Keywords Explorer is the most helpful portion in creating a good strategy for your SEO efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think i need to be trained more on the platform to fully understand how to use it to the best ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Botify is able to crawl and analyze so many dimensions of multiple websites without any manual work. We can customize the crawls and the crawl frequency as well as modifying the reporting dashboards as needed. The API connector into Google Sheets has been invaluable for us in automating some reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see better alerts capability and even more dimensions of analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The custom reports and project planning aspects are a nice touch. They also have some nice mobile-focused functions too which as we know are the thing to have now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was hoping for a better keyword research function but it's pretty much on par with everything else out there. This is probably the biggest disappointment considering everything else works so well. Maybe I should lower my expectations next time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the web log analyzer and just the amount of data it has Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

lack of online resources, not a solid online training program - it's necessary since there is so much data (and value) in Botify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Botify is advanced log analysis, advanced segmentation, content analysis. It allowed for a very in-depth look at your site, with the ability to compare changes over time.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Botify is very expensive. The monthly fee was too high, even with the lowerst plan The software offers many of features, but does not document how to use them. You must rely on Botify customer support team, however good support is hard to come by. My account was assigned a customer service rep, which sounds good in theory, but they did not prove to be very helpful. Customer Service Rep was not knowledgeable about product or the services it offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Botify has a huge range of reports and ways to split your data. Some of my favourite features are the ability to create bespoke URL segments, the HTML stored from every page crawled (excellent if looking to check exactly when code was changed), the ability to compare crawl changes over time at an extremely granular level and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool can be quite pricey especially if you are looking to start using some of the more in-depth features (log analyser, keywords) or look into crawling Javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful in Botify is segmentation. It allows me to have a complete view of my websites' structure and of how search engine bots have access to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd say that the set-up is not easy at the beginning, but the Botify team is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to drill down to a URL/keyword level to understand how crawl budget impacts traffic and revenue directly. Also, a global overview of compliant vs notn complaint URLs in the dashboard view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While filtering down is an awesome feature, ability to use and know all the glossary terms to activate the filter is limited to a newer user who hasn't been in the tool for a long time - therefore requiring SEO specialist from Botify to review correct filtering.
