Zenrows offers a versatile scraper with fast support

My experience has been great with ZenRows. They are clearly passionate about web scraping and their support is eager to help. Having knowledgeable support on hand is a rare commodity these days, and it's made all the difference when I was testing out their services and learning more about scraping in general. Their documentation is also amazing and was something I was already referencing prior to using their services when I was first starting to learn about web scraping.

PROS

Biggest Pro was the fast support responses when I was testing their services and learning more about the scraping process. I wished to utilize their services with custom JS Functionality to tune the scraper to fit my needs. Throughout my troubleshooting I was in contact with their support who provided clarity on their services and how to optimally use them. The proxy/api itself is flexible and the large amount of documentation made it easy to follow along and combine it with pre-existing projects I had written.

CONS

While they have extensive documentation they desperately need a search bar to assist with users hunting for specific instructions/setup while learning how to use ZenRows. Thankfully, their support confirmed the search bar is on the way in a future update. For users familiar with coding they could also use a few example tutorials about how to write custom scrips to fully utilize their services when custom scripts are required to fully scrape a site. The functionality is there, but I wasn't able to find a specific use case in their documentation. Thankfully their support was responsive and guided me through how to set it up in their proxies.

Reasons for switching to ZenRows

I made the switch because my scrapers were having a terrible time getting through anti-bot and other security measures when pulling data. I had been trying for weeks to bypass different sites protection, but it was a never ending battle that was proving inefficient in the long run.

Absolutely amazing customer service and support

PROS

The thing I like most about Zenrows is the customer service and support. They have been absolutely incredible to us and were very understanding of our situation. We had purchased a yearly contract and paid up front but realized it wasn't the best decision for our business a month later, they understood our situation as a startup and happily refunded the money and allowed us to get on a monthly plan. They take the time to listen to feedback and are committed to helping customers not just selling software. They even took to extra time to help us optimize our scraping requests when they did not have to do that.

CONS

They don't currently have full feature parity with some of the more established players like enterprise user management and analytics. However, the scraping works amazingly which is the core of the need for us. They also listen to feedback and have implemented some features we have asked for.

Reasons for switching to ZenRows

The level of communication and support we got was not up to our standards. When we had an issue they did not take the time to update us on the progress or alert us when things should have been fixed.

The best web scraping product I have tested on the market

I'm using ZenRows to scrap highly protected websites since 3 months now. I was testing another similar product at the same time but I abandoned because the results I could get was under my expectations. With ZenRows scraping features I'm getting in time exactly what I'm expecting for.

PROS

- Return successful requests even for JavaScript generated HTML contents - Can wait for a CSS selector or a fix amount of time before returning the content

CONS

- Couldn't scrap one heavy JavaScript protected website I've tried to

Reason for choosing ZenRows

ZenRows shows better skills in web scraping. It's more efficient
