It saves us time from web scraping since the whole process is done automatically, our data flow is very good, we improve our business objectives because we have the help of Apify.

I like how easy it is to extract data from different web pages, the templates are very good, the system works smoothly, the proxy service is excellent, the automated web scraping is very effective.

At first we thought that the configuration would be complicated, but it was not, since the whole process was carried out as normal.

Overall, my experience has been very positive.

- Trial period with credits to test a few APIs and integrations. The limit was high enough for me to get a good idea of the APIs I want to use and find one that works well for me. - Direct communication with the developers. I had a small issue which was resolved immediately. I also made a suggestion for one more data point to be extracted. It was added in no time, which was fantastic. - Support and Apify tour - the chance to talk to somebody from the team about the platform and for them to recommend sections and features based on your needs and use case. I had a session with Cait. She was brilliant, answered all my questions and suggested functionalities that I hadn't discovered but will definitely make use of going forward. - Swift approval of my application for student discount. Took 2 minutes to get an approval after my application.

Can't say that I have anything negative to say do far. If I need to add one, that would be price. I have no direct comparison as I have not tested any alternatives. And since I have no time to search for alternative solutions (dissertation deadline fast approaching) and I am happy with this one so far - I will go with it. During my Apify tour, Cait did suggest that students can apply for Student discount. I wish I had known / applied for it before I had moved on to Starter plan. As a student, I am paying for everything by myself and I can already say that I will need to spend $200+ to get the data that I need.

Generally, I was super well-assisted and the system worked 99% of the time, I have experienced only one outage with the SERP Proxy service in more than 12 months using. Considering the difficulty of scraping google I understand that this is very acceptable.

The proxy feature works very good and the dashboard allows me to watch exactly how I'm spending my money. The marketplace is also very interesting although I haven't used it.

The proxy service doesn't allow me to choose the country for the requests, so the websites that have IP-related restricted access doesn't work with the Apify service.

First of all i am impressed on how easy it is to get started even for new beginners . Apify also is easy to understand hence do not consume most of your time . It is also very easy to set up for your project , scrappers and APIs

I can not state of any dislike as for now because apify has really been of great help to me and my colleagues

Apify represents an excellent option for automating web scraping and data extraction tasks, particularly for those who cannot write custom code themselves. The platform makes these processes intuitive through its simple API and built-in tools while still delivering the scalability, flexibility, and reliability needed for more advanced use cases.

Automation By scheduling crawler runs on a recurring basis, Apify can automate the process of extracting new or updated data removing the need for manual work.

Though relatively straightforward, learning to build effective crawlers and extracts in Apify can still require studying documentation and troubleshooting tasks.

The Apify features are easy on navigation and the access control tools and the reporting features are very excellent.

Easy adjusting Apify functions for better and effective quality services generation and the multiple Websites data extraction and excellent mapping capability provided by Apify are profitable.The platform still allows secure data verification and the analytical options and data visualization using Apify features is cost effective.

Nice and easy multiple projects data migration tool which on my first time was easy and nothing for me to dislike from all Apify features.

Flexible data migration and the multiple project data processing and also the data visualization through Apify functions is more profitable and reliable file management tool.

The extraction of various web data and even Apify allows effective multiple data import through its excellent data connectors.Apify is still the best data management platform and the IP rotation capability is impressive and the real time reporting functions are perfect.

Simple on Apify initial deployment after training which requires a very short period of time and my opinion is that i got no dislike from all Apify features.

The ease of use and the fact that there are multiple ways of using it...this made it more efficient Apify has a friendly user interface I am also impressed by how cost friendly it is it is not expensive

Nothing really i had a great time using Apify it is on another level hence has not yet found anything to state as a dislike

My favorite part about apify is the proxy management and rotation. Traditionally this is a nightmare for me and I love the completely managed proxy rotation and management.

The pricing is a little bit high. I wish that I could access the pay as you go pricing of actors/proxies without having to pay for a $50/month subscription.

My experience with Apify has been positive. It has helped me solve data extraction challenges efficiently.

I liked the ease of use and the seamless integration with my existing business processes.

I wish the JS SDK used more generic types.

My overall experience with Apify has been good. The platform has made it possible to gather large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, which has helped my business scale faster.

Apify is an exceptional platform for scraping data, with remarkable features that make the process quick, efficient, and enjoyable. The scrapers available on Apify are top-notch and provide excellent results, which have helped me to gather crucial information needed for my community marketplace.

Despite its excellent performance, sometimes, the individual Actors (scrapers) on Apify may break, causing delays in data scraping. However, this is a common issue with software, and the customer service team at Apify is always available to resolve the issue promptly.

It's been great working with Apify. We recently switched to it from Scrapy & haven't regret this decision at all. It's much more performant & more robust against anti-scraping.

The SDK is open-source and very easy to use in our own projects. Next to that there is solid documentation & an easy to use user-interface. We like that this software allows us to scrape in JavaScript, the language of the web, as opposed to Python.

We haven't used the fully managed solution much so not much to say about it. The SDK had some bugs that we had to make PR's for but at least we were able to do so & the team was very responsive in resolving these issues.

Apify allows to set up scrapers for getting solid data from various resources such as websites, APIs in any kind of convenient format: excel/csv/HTML tables, JSON, pdf etc. Also, this is a great tool for making automation workers. A cool web interface also adds a lot of cool features for visualizing all this stuff along with extensive API possibilities

Apify platform provides a very versatile and wide range of services for web scraping. A strong and convenient SDK, cool web UI for visualising datasets, communication with clients/developers, scrapers overview and configuration etc.

From a dev perspective, I'd say that it's high time for Apify team to organize all the SDK best-practice materials for overcoming website anti-scraping technologies into some kind of a separate documentation block.

Apify seems to be by far the most advanced scraping platform. They have ready-made web crawlers and we can also build our own or get a custom scraper from Apify. Their documentation is also very comprehensive and support team is responsive. It is our one-stop shop for web scraping needs. We've built several applications for our own or for clients use.

Nothing comes to mind, perhaps notifications about proxies could be less annoying.

This platform offers scraper the greatest options among the others. It offers scalability and speed , and is simple to use and manage.

I can scrap big and large websites precisely how I need to. I also saved a toned of time after I was able to put up automations.

Nothing up to now. I can only advise using the software if you want to try a scraping tool or are dissatisfied with your present one.

It is usual for developers to look for REST endpoints on those other webpages in order to access information in a structured manner such as JSON. Nevertheless, it's not like all websites have created unique REST APIs; in this case, Apify is really useful.

-To acquire organized information via the internet.-Delivering API data accessibility in a number of formats.-Proxy rotation has already been implemented.

-Coordinating a large number of people and duties.-Monitoring technology on a wider level.-Enhance APIs to allow individuals to browse and modify information.

Apify has great documentation, technical support and also chat support. Their customer support is really great.

We like scaling, easy to use solution and completely outsourced infrastructure.

Pricing plan could be better. Team plan is a huge step in comparison with personal plan. I would prefer a middle small team plan between them.

Overrall we are using this tool for any type of data analyis. I would suggest them they should intruduce a mechanism to post the results on social media for digital marketiing.

Apify provides a good Interface for any kind of Data Mapping, Mining and Business Intelligence. We are able to fetch data from any type of web resources.

The pricing of the tool is on higher side.

APIFY has both a marketplace for pre-made automations and a way to create custom automations. This bot alone has generated $100k+ in revenue. https://apify.com/big-brain.io/upwork-application

Requires users to be fairly technically savvy to get the most value.

We have had a pleasant feedback with the company.I got it to work after only a few minutes of testing, and I'm currently using it for additional services in our organization.

This appears to be functioning great. Excellent information. There are several instances. Excellent blog posts.

Single Actors (scrapers) occasionally break, and you must wait until they be repaired, causing some inconveniences.

Scraping Facebook comments to use in a machine translation academic project. It saved time and enabled us to meet the deadline

1. Short learning curve such that it reduces the time needed to setup what you need in a relatively short time. it also offers a simple yet rich interface that automatically guides you to the features you want. 2. Customizability is also an advantage of using Apify since it offers a wide variety of options that meets your business need. 3. It offers a useful API to automate the process and easily put the scraping logic in your code.

Nothing serious. It offers a trial period thus allowing you to give it a try and see if it meet your business requirements.

Easy to use, yet superbly powerful and extensible

So far no cons, if there is anything missing Apify is so extensible I can always add it myself

It's great and looking forward to exploring the platform more and extract whatever I want.

I really love how Apify helps me with my productivity as someone who doesn't really is in tech. It helps me with readymade quick solutions that surely propels my productivity.

There's nothing much I can say for now. But, It'd be wise if we can see some tutorials to use certain API's inside each.

Great overall experience. I'm able to scrape websites and collect the data that I need.

Apify has publicly available scraping tools. It's easy to use and well integrated with other automation tools.

Nothing to complain. Everything is working smooth.

Cost-effective, easy to set up, great SDK and support

Sometimes the platform is slow to load. This can be resolved by clearing the cookies though.
