What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?
Ahrefs has the best backlink database hands down. The keyword and competitor analysis is really the best too. It is more user-friendly than other keyword research tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of Ahrefs is the overview section, which shows all the data I need to present to my boss or a client, when I worked in an agency, in one place. I also love the Keywords Explorer section, where I can easily find search volume and related keywords for any keyword I want to investigate. Lastly, the Ahrefs Google Chrome extension is AMAZING. It is so convenient to use for quickly looking at key metrics for a domain/page..

There isn't a whole lot I dislike about Ahrefs other than the price. I don't personally pay for it, but it took a lot of convincing to have my company pick up the tab on it.
