BumbleB is correct about the UI being Java-ish and not an ideal Mac environment. On the other hand, it is not that bad. This is not the kind of app you would spend a lot of time working in. Ideally, you set it up to do it's thing automatically then open it from time to time to see the results and print reports for your clients. In fact, I personally don't run it from my Mac anymore, rather I installed it on my CentOS web server for that very reason.
I wrote a longish blog post about my use-case. Check out my profile for a link to my site if you'd like to read more.

It has automatic, scheduled checking of rankings. The app does not even need to be open for it to check rankings every day. Then weekly you open it up and see rankings for the whole week.
It is project based, meaning you can check your competitors when checking yourself, or check all your websites in one project, with one schedule, etc.
And the search engine algorithm subscription is considerably cheaper for AWR than its competitor Rank Tracker.
If I didn't have a license for SERank, I'd buy this one!

A good next step would be an optimizer and html analizer.

There's a free app WebranX. Isn't as fancy as Advanced Webranking, but does the same trick.
AWB ranking is slow because it's build with Java.
Java is not slow, Java on Mac is.
WebranX is a very cheap imitation of Advanced Web Ranking 6.2. I downloaded and installed the application and the first screen that pops up gives a 404 Not Found error looking for /site/applicazione.php
Then 10 seconds into running my first ranking report, the software crashes.
Pretty poor first impression. I immediately deleted it from my hard drive.
Moving on to AWR 6.2... The word "Advanced" is part of its name for a reason. Having the ability to generate highly detailed and customizable reports is essential to SEO professionals who need to supply their clients with more data than just the basics.
The ability to check rankings across all the international versions of Google, Yahoo and MSN Live search is a godsend for me as I have international clients who don't care as much what their Google.com rankings are as Google.co.uk, Google.co.in, etc.
Uploading reports direct to a web server or supplying through email is a time saver, and thus a money saver.
The one drawback I have noticed with the software so far is the time it takes to check rankings. My last update included 10 keywords across 40 different search engines for one URL, and it took about 5 hours. If you aren't pressed for time and can run the app in the background, no big deal I guess.
I have yet to come across software cheaper than AWR 6.2 that provides the same range of data and helpful tools.

I literally left it running all night and most of the day... to finally finish.. whatever it was doing.
VSE Be Found 2.7 is a better program, and more what im looking for, but not for osx yet.
