What do you dislike about the product?
The web ui is improving, but still needs better UX
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data extraction for smart pricing analysis to help business stay competitive
Freed up hours of work from our team
What do you like best about the product?
The ready to use templates make setting up scrapers so easy. We used a couple of other solutions before, and they needed a much more complex DIY setup. Many of the templates are free which is great for small businesses like ours.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I like the templates the paid ones are a little steep for smaller budgets. Also while they claim they never get blocked we have had a few times that the scraper has been rate limited by a site which resulted in some missed data from our side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to collect data we were previously collecting manually. A lot of our scraping goes into solutions for us to stay competitive on price. Which has certainly increased our sales.
Great product lowers the barrier to entry for web scraping/extraction
What do you like best about the product?
Store for pre-existing "actors"/scrapers is great with options for Google, Insta,etc...
What do you dislike about the product?
Good use a few more tutorial videos in the getting started tour.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need an easy to use, affordable service for scraping, data extraction. The ease of use for someone new to scraping/ETL is great.
Great Resources for Development
What do you like best about the product?
This app is great for my development that I do with my team. Using Apify's advanced tools, I am able to get the job quickly, without getting blocked. I love how I am able to use it for some of the biggest sites without getting blocked.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that the design of the site isn't the best, I feel that the UI's could use some work on and the setup guide could be more user-friendly too. Overall it is a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am sometimes getting blocked by Amazon when I am trying to scrape specific product data. I realized that proxies can't work 100% of the time really. I do hope however, that they do release proxies that do work 100% of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend everybody to try their amazing scrapers!
Amazing Product
What do you like best about the product?
This is an awesome app! It's extremely easy to use all their scrapers for all your needs. I love how they have YouTube tools, specifically being a content creator. Their tools help me find ways to engage my audiences better.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like how their proxies are not in-based, therefore preventing me from using it in many softwares that I use. I hope to possibly have the ip option in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am having trouble using some of my software as it's not IP-Based proxies, but I know that this might be for security purposes. The UI is very nice however, maybe could be more vibrant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should try the social scrapers.
Best crawling platform
What do you like best about the product?
Apify is a scalable and robust platform to run crawlers and other jobs. Their documentation, technical support and user experience are amazing and it's pleasure to delegate crawling complexity to Apify.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there were more granular packages in pricing. The step between personal and team pricing should be closer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can enormously scale our crawlers and be able to crawl content from sources around the world. We can use also proxies and see logs and statisticks about every job.
The best news letter that’s in my inbox
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's just not about one thing. What is there not to like apify? That's what I thought there isn't any you can't like about apify!!! There is no comparison
What do you dislike about the product?
I love everything about apify and it's perfect don't change anything about it cause if you do you would be like everyone else and that's sad 😔 so don't change
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The simple fact that your even asking this question means your starting to be like everyone else.
Best solution for automated scraping
What do you like best about the product?
Before APIfy I had used most existing software available for developing scrapers and crawlers, such as BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, Selenium, etc., so I was quite familiar with scraping technology. Using APIfy allows me to focus on the scraper itself, and while there is some time spent upfront learning how the platform works, the investment is well worth it due to the time saved during development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall APIfy is exactly how I would have made it if I could have. However, there are still some things that can be improved, such as making the web console easier to use and integrating more intelligence in the tools, such as automatically detecting sites that block scrapers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently developing a prototype that will scrape important information from the user's social media profile. By using APIfy, I can reach proof-of-concept faster and spend more time fixing bugs.
Apify is cool online shop with scrapers
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Apify is making scraping available for non-devs people and how it is making easy and fun for devs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss python support. With it, I could contribute more as well as the rest of the huge python scraping community
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have no problems with Apify. As a benefit I see nice UI in scraping console and nice scraping result output in several formats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don`t be afraid to use Apify even if you are not a developer. And definitely try it if you are a dev.
