    Screaming Frog is a good tool, and it works, but they can make it a little easier for those who are just beginning.

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: I like Screaming Frog. There are certain things it does very well. I like that it's a desktop app, so I don't need an internet connection to use it. I like that it puts together so many features. It does an excellent job of crawling sites. It audits all the SEO elements and gives you in-depth information that you can use to improve sales, and it does this fast. I like the fact that the tool can find problems on a site and then give you ideal solutions, many of them which are present within Screaming Frog itself. You get a good snapshot of what your competitors are up to, and I also like the visualization feature.

    Cons: There are certain things about Screaming Frog that I think have room for improvement. The number of features is both a good and a bad thing. It's good for experienced SEO pros because they know how to use all these tools. However, if you are just beginning these just make it a confusing and overwhelming tool to use. It took me a while to learn how to make Screaming Frog work for my sites, and during that time I had to rely on other tools. If they could find a way to split the tool and keep it simple it would be so much better. There could be a section for beginners, and then you can add features as you get more familiar with SEO.

    Screaming Frog is part of my SEO set of tools...

    Good, but can be better. A few tweaks here and there can make Screaming Frog a whole lot better.

    Features & Functionality

    Pros: I own several sites, and after an algorithm update set me back on a couple of them, I decided to be proactive and get ahead of problems. Screaming Frog was kinda a no brainer... so many other digital marketers I know are using it to audit their sites regularly. My experience so far has been mixed, but I would say positive rather than negative. There are things I love about it... The in-depth audits, the sitemap facility, and the fact that it automates a lot of stuff that would otherwise take too much time to do manually. There are definitely things I feel can be better. The UI is a bit cluttered, and it can take a while to get used to. Also, if you don't change default server settings you may experience problems during high traffic periods. The other thing I think they can improve is ability to crawl big sites. The bigger a site is, the more hitches you experience with regular site audits.

    Cons: I've already mentioned the UI and problems that you get with big sites. The only other problem I can think of is that this tool doesn't crawl content, which a lot of other tools are able to do. This, I think, is a basic function that they should add even if they increase the price a little.
