Microsoft SEO Toolkit vs MoZ
-
Hi MoZ Community,
Does anybody know how well is Microsoft SEO Toolkit. As far i have noticed this tool reports around 20 violations under three broad areas like : SEO, Content and Performance.
On many violations I have found MoZ to be silent like :
1-unnecessary redirects
2-Invalid mark ups
3-Missing Tag
4-like vilations and others
Important is that it tells solutions as well against each violation on how to fix that. Any body can give insights while comparing it with MoZ.

At Virante, we really like the IIS toolkit, but it has some drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't take into account canonical tags when looking at things like duplicate content. It also makes assumptions that are simply overkill (like lumping nearly every redirect into being an unnecessary redirect). In the end, we actually use both.
Moz gives your regular crawl data over time, which is valuable to discern what might be the cause of an issue because you can correlate it with changes you made on the site between crawls. The timeseries data is all there in front of you.
IIS can give you some other data and, more importantly, give you the raw crawl data like the export of all internal links.
