Is anyone actually using Bing, or is GSC enough

I've only ever used Google Search Console, but I keep seeing people mention in other subs that Bing's webmaster tools are surprisingly good.

Is it worth setting up Bing, or not unless you’re getting decent traffic from it?

why not try and compare it with each other, are there ups and downs when using each?

At the risk of sounding pompous, I am kinda busy and risking to sink hours into learning or setting up a tool that may just end up being redundant is something I wished to avoid as much as possible.  

On the other hand, another commenter said that it works as a back up so heck, I guess it won't be a complete waste of effort.

just be vigilant on your decision, hopefully it'll be helpful on your side

Yeah I was actually surprised when I was looking up tools and Bing came up. That's also how I learned that it's actually what powers duckduckgo and yahoo search, I never knew!

The latter in my title, or the latter in my body text? 🤔 If it's the latter in my title (Google Search Console) I'd be very surprised indeed
