What do you dislike?
The only thing that is not good in Ahrefs is that it has a very steep learning curve. A lot of new members on my team do not take it at first because its interface is highly counterintuitive and difficult to understand. Even understanding the most basic functionalities like finding out the current SEO metrics of a competitor site takes a lot of time and practice to get it right.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to really step up your SEO game then opt for Ahrefs but a word of caution here is that you need to understand it completely in order to make sure that its advantageous for you to have it. Ahrefs offers multiple tutorial videos on YouTube on its own channel so go through them first before even starting to use it otherwise you'll be lost even if you buy the best plan they offer.
