Definitely works and it's worthy
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.

Apify Review: Efficient and User-Friendly Web Data Extraction Platform
Apify has helped me solve a number of challenges in my work. Prior to using Apify, I struggled to extract data from websites and APIs in a timely and efficient manner. I often found that the process was slow, unreliable, and prone to errors. But with Apify, I have been able to extract data quickly and easily, with minimal errors or downtime. This has made my work much more efficient and has allowed me to complete projects faster and with greater accuracy.I am extremely satisfied with the platform and the benefits it has brought to my job.
PROSAs a user of Apify, I appreciate its versatility and user-friendly interface for extracting data from websites and APIs. The data extraction feature is efficient and customizable to meet my specific needs. The data connectors, import/export and IP rotation functions make it easy to integrate the scraped data into other workflows. Overall, I highly recommend Apify for anyone who needs to extract data from websites or APIs.
CONSAs a user of Apify, I have found that while the platform is generally user-friendly and effective for web data extraction, there are a few areas that could be improved. The interface can be a bit overwhelming or difficult to navigate, especially for new users, and the pricing structure can be confusing with multiple options available. These small challenges aside, I still highly recommend Apify as a platform for anyone who needs to extract data from websites or APIs.

Quick to use and shred
Scraping Google Maps and Booking, it takes me too lengthy to do it myself, so I can save a lot of time using Apify. I have yet to explore other scraping technologies, which will offer me more possibilities.
PROSI utilized it for scrap booking and Google Maps; it really was simple for using, and the output was just what I needed. In comparison to what I previously used, I must say that it is far more customer.
CONSI don't mind it, however I was seeking for a item to scrap and couldn't locate it on apify

Apify is excellent to get databases based on webscrapping
Excellent. Of al the webscrapping tools I have used or try to use, Apify was the best solution.
PROSI loved how easy it was to understand and to work with. I have a limited knowledge of coding so I needed a solution easy to manage.
CONSThe pricing was a bit confusing. I wanted to buy more memory to get a bigger database but I think that even If I bought a month more, my data transfer was way too high due to using the trial. I didn't understood that.
Reasons for switching to Apify
I tried to use several, but they were all too expensive or too limited. In the GitHub bot case, it was too hard for me to know how it did work.

Great SDK for web-data extraction
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSWe 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.
Reasons for switching to Apify
We needed increased anti-scraping & performance.

Apify turns web extraction into a fun task
Apify proxy and automation APIs for the web are the easiest to test and deploy. It takes less than an hour for an automation developer to use Apify and turn any web page into a full-blown API. With a typical cloud provider like AWS. there's a lot of moving parts like task queue management that Apify simply takes care of without asking too much of developer's time.
CONSAPI and onboarding documentation could be simplified.
