Effortless Data Scraping with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
I find Apify easy to use and very quick for scraping thousands of records. The free trial for most of the apps is very helpful for me. The initial setup was super easy and simple, only took a few apps to try to finally find the product that's been working perfectly for us. I would rate it a 10 and have been recommending it to friends and colleagues already.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find some of the Apps don't work as marketed. App developers should only advertise what they are offering, nothing fancy which their apps is not capable of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify for bulk data scrapping from LinkedIn and Indeed, which makes my outreach process efficient. It's easy to use and quickly scrapes thousands of records.

Fast Idea-to-Data Scraping with Apify’s Ready-Made Actors
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Apify is how quickly I can go from idea to actual data. For things like Google Maps scraping, I don’t need to build a crawler from scratch, I can just use an existing actor, set my search keywords and locations, and start getting results in minutes.
The platform handles things like proxies, browser automation, and blocking much better than most DIY setups. I also like that the data comes out clean in JSON, CSV, or Excel, which makes it easy to use in my own tools and dashboards. Overall it saves a lot of engineering time compared to running and maintaining my own scrapers.

Overall it saves a lot of engineering time compared to running and maintaining my own scrapers.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don’t like is that the pricing can become expensive when you run scrapers at scale, especially for data-heavy sources like Google Maps where a lot of proxy and compute usage is required. If you’re running large jobs or frequent crawls, the costs add up quickly.
I also found that some actors can fail or return partial data when Google changes something, so you sometimes have to rerun jobs or tweak settings. It’s not a deal breaker, but it does mean you still need to monitor runs instead of treating it as completely hands-off.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the problem of getting structured data from websites that are hard to scrape, like Google Maps, without having to build and maintain a complex scraping infrastructure. Instead of dealing with proxies, headless browsers, CAPTCHA handling, and site changes myself, I can rely on Apify’s actors to handle most of that.
This benefits me because I can focus on using the data instead of spending time fixing broken scrapers. For example, when collecting business listings and contact details from Google Maps, I can run jobs on Apify and quickly get clean datasets that I can use for lead generation, market research, or price and location analysis.

Effortlessly Build Scrapers with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
I like Apify because it's super easy to use and I don't need to learn a new system. It's pretty straightforward with the guidance I get from ChatGPT. It's also great that I don't need to be a developer to use the scrapers that others have built, which saves me a lot of time, energy, and money. I also value the direct connections Apify has with platforms like Google and Instagram for scraping.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the communication going back and forth to the developer can be a bit tricky. I don't always know how to switch between different models, and it sometimes breaks the chain in n8n. Also, through the API, I can't switch the model because it only does it inside the tool as, like, a one-off. If I have a bunch of things I need scraped, I don't know how to switch the models, and there's no real way to do it without contacting the original developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to build scrapers without being a developer, which saves me a ton of time, energy, and money.
Fast, User-Friendly Powerhouse for Web Scraping
What do you like best about the product?
I find Apify to be fast and its user interface is better than other extensions, being not too complex and yet one of the most powerful tools I know. The issue section where people discuss problems is useful, as well as the proxy section and cloud storage. The UI is friendly and easy to navigate, making the initial setup hassle-free. I've experienced consistently good performance over different extensions like Instagram, Google Maps, and Reddit, and I'm looking forward to using it with TikTok, hoping for the same positive feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally haven't faced any issues with Apify, but I've overheard some issues regarding the API integration and its management. Managing a large number of actor runs through the API can become complex, especially when handling datasets and post-run cleanup. I think there could be improvements in API documentation, clearer examples for lifecycle management, and better tooling for monitoring API-triggered runs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to extract information not available on the web's front end, like downloading Instagram posts and tracking Amazon product history. It's fast, user-friendly, and has powerful features for web scraping across platforms.

Collecting data has never been easier...
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the pricing can force us into using certain options in some applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like Apify for its instant access to actors for any marketing tactics. I find the pre-built, cloud-based, ready-to-use automation tools incredibly useful as they offer a plug-and-play experience, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. The simple steps to start with Apify automations make it easy to get up and running quickly. Overall, Apify meets my needs well, and I even gave it a recommendation score of 10 out of 10.

Apify fulfill my requirements for the marketing automations.

Simple and Lightweight, Yet Expensive for Intensive Use
What do you like best about the product?
I like using Apify because it's quite lightweight and indeed easy to use. Apify is very simple for extracting content from the web without needing to code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps in terms of price, yes, for the price. It can be considered quite expensive if the usage is quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify for scraping and automation, especially to extract data from websites without the need for coding, which makes the process simpler.
Streamlined Content Scraping with Minimal Effort
What do you like best about the product?
I like Apify for its stability and availability. It doesn't require constant retries, which saves a lot of energy, compute, and networking fees. It's also very easy to set up with minimal hassle, thanks to the great documentation and numerous examples that clearly show request and response structures.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some actors that are only available when we have an Apify premium account. So I think it would be nice if you could access some actors without having a premium account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify saves developer hours by automating the fetching of Instagram posts, eliminating manual work. It addresses our content population issue, enhancing efficiency by reducing our content upload workflow by 80%.
