THe platform has been really useful when looking to review the whole competative landscape as well as for individual opportunities. The user interface is really intuative. The competitor analysis info is superior and more accurate that other systems which claim to do the same thing. My sales team use the system every day, and find it very useful insight to take into customer meetings.
Quite a pricey solution. Would like to be able to break data down into weeks as well as months. Integration can be long winded.
Appearing as a consultative and trusted partner to our sales prospects is a key driver for us, utilising the insight into their website traffic that Similarweb provides helps us to bring value to each interaction.
I used to work at Similarweb, which is how I got introduced to the platform and the different solutions. Now that I'm at another company I still use Similarweb all the time. My most-used features are the lead generator (in Sales Intelligence), the various keyword research tools, and company overview (I look at traffic and engagement analytics at sites my company owns vs. competitors, etc.). As a customer now, I've found the support team to be really present. Our account manager reached out to me right away when I got access and has checked in a couple times to see if I need help.
There can be a little learning curve at the beginning when it comes to the more complex features. Knowledge Center is helpful there (and account manager).
1) Getting the right traffic to our website(s) 2) Targeting the right companies with our sales outreach Re: #1, increasing brand awareness, lead gen, TOFU activity Re: #2, I actually don't know of another tool that could perform the kind of lead gen we need.

I love how easy similar web makes it to get an idea of website traffic and geos for ecomm sites. The chrome extension was super easy to implement and is so helpful when prospecting - I use it almost every day! I've never had any issues but I assume the folks at similar web would be helpful if I ever run into any problems.
Can't think of any downsides, I have never run into any issues.

Ability to benchmark and compare performance against competitors Very easy to use and implement
Hidden features by level of license can be frustrating
Understanding performance of our performance against competitors. Giving insights on areas of improvement.
I've been using SimilarWeb for a few years and my favourite areas have always been to analyse competitor performance to see where they might be winning or losing. I'm also a huge fan of seeing where people went to before and after a website to identify new opportunities. The platform itself is very easy to use and enables easy comparison of websites, markets, and channels to see where there is opportunity.
I wouldn't say there are any glaring downsides and it may be more gaps in my knowledge but automated dashboards or templates for certain use cases would be a great addition to the platform. Also, being able to push data into Looker studio would be very helpful.
Knowing how a website or competitor is performing in a market is extremely useful to see if there are opportunties you might be missing out on. Similar Web makes this easy and allows you to see where a site is getting traffic, which device, where in the world etc. In recent months or the last year, the SEO features have really stepped up and being able to see new keywords by category, search trends is critical in informing our content and search strategy.

Detailed search of phrases and keywords.
When I export excel with keywords list and then add new keywords into the list - it becomes impossible to export again updated list with new keywords. It just exports the same excel file which I gained with old set of keywords within the list. We have to create a new list, search again and add new keywords. This should be fixed.
We buld content portals and it helps a lot with finding necessary topics.
Comparing sites and looking at website traffic over time
Site visitors won't populate unless there is over 5k visitors

Similarweb is great for looking up competitors' websites, analyzing their traffic and seeing where their online brand "stands" in an industry landscape as well as getting valuable information on key digital marketing metrics and demographics.
Similarweb has a great free version, but when I started using the paid search overview, domain overview, and SEO I realized how much Similarweb has to offer! I specifically love the accurate data in the Geographic visit breakdown. On top of it all, they also have a great UI.
Similarweb doesn't provide traffic data for websites with lower traffic, this is a con for me as I analyze websites of all sizes.
Just a handful of online tools that I would recommend to any professional - and SimilarWeb Pro makes the top list! With just a few button presses, I can gain access to what seems to be accurate data and insights from almost every website in the world. Similarweb solved the problem of having many tools, each for their own analyzed data, on Similarweb I get all the insights in one tool.
