Apify has helped our organization in building some of the best tools for our customers. Apify services allow for consistency - prior we ran everything on our own infrastructure and it was a nightmare. Thanks to Apify - all of our crawlers run smoothly and we don't have to worry about the infrastructure or the proxies.
Things to love about apify:
- Flawless proxy service (we have used others and failed miserably)
- Being able to see what is running and having a log for debugging
- Easily schedule your crawls

What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to dislike something that is so powerful and easy to use. I think the only thing that I would make improvements on is the subscription management side of things. Other than that the platform is easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The solution that we have is digesting and organizing data from certain sites that require an extensive manual process. By automating the process it allows companies to focus on making money while downloading of reports you don't have to worry about anymore.
