Apify Reviews - Page 3

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.

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.

Apify wins in my book based on its excellent customer support and its effective and proven actors. I am a researcher whose specialty is not programming, so having an interface that was easy to understand and work with as someone who has only passing experience with the backend was vital. The live chat was an excellent tool for me to get help from a pro when I ran into any trouble at all, too.

I did sometimes run into small hiccups based on a mismatch between my input and the scraped output. CS let me know that one specific bug I ran into would be addressed by the end of the week, but if I had to list a con, that would be it.

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

They always listen to feedback and have a huge range of scrapers and actors available now

Took a while to figure out which would be the best actors to use but once we got started it was very easy to implement

The most useful thing so far has been the "store", which lets you use scrapers others have built. They are also verified by Apify so you don't get shoddy results. For a recent project, the store had solutions I could use instantly without coding anything. When the store has an actor that fits your use case, you can save a huge amount of time and money. When there's not a built-in solution for you, you'll need to spend a day learning how to use their all-purpose web scraper and write your own. Thankfully, the process is straightforward and should be quick for most folks with development experience.

Some of the "actors" available in the store haven't been reliable. 1 of the 5 I've used so far doesn't seem to work and the developer hasn't responded to my issue. The documentation also feels a bit sparse, though it's not too bad.

Apify est un logiciel puissant qui simplifie le processus de grattage Web et d'extraction de données.

D'après notre expérience, nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème avec Apify. Il a été un outil précieux pour nous aider à extraire les données automatiquement et efficacement.

-Superb support group.-The cloud makes scheduling a breeze.-Trustworthy and reliable information.

-Might offer a better massive scale surveillance system.-Enhance information APIs to include search and substitution functionality.

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.

Like all scraping software, there is some startup coding learning curve, but we quickly overcame those issues. Then we quickly came to understand why their behind-the-scenes scraping strategies are important to keep the scrapers from being blocked.

It took a while to understand how to include debugging statements into our code when we were developing our scraping algorithms.

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

I wish the JS SDK used more generic types.

I liked the large set of ready-made actors, their flexible configuration and the ability to easily obtain data via API, as well as the availability of renewable credits to try the service played a decisive role in my choice.

The only thing I didn't like was that you can't buy as many credits as you need. Instead, you have to buy the minimum plan, which is too much for my needs.

1) ease of integration 2) ui where all is easily available 3) maintenance - the fact that containers i use are always up to date made me abandon my own custom scripts 4) magic proxy management - this is the last thing i want to do manually or even think about, and yet it is the most crucial part

Not actually an apify problem, but i have a couple of usecases where i really would have wanted a fast responce which i'm not entirely sure how to achieve now.

Sobre os pontos positivos, é simples ajustar as funções do Apify para obter serviços de maior qualidade e eficiência, especialmente na extração de dados de diversos sites. Destaco ainda a excelente capacidade de mapeamento oferecida pela plataforma, que se traduz em lucratividade. A Apify também proporciona uma verificação segura dos dados e oferece opções analíticas e de visualização de dados de forma econômica.

Quanto aos pontos negativos, não encontrei dificuldades na migração de dados entre projetos, tornando minha experiência inicial bastante agradável, e não há aspectos que eu realmente não tenha gostado em relação aos recursos oferecidos pela Apify.

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.

The versatility - a lot of functions for different purposes The reliability - most of the actors work just perfect

I would like to have more tutorials and guides about advanced features (such as latency etc)

It's made our job much easier as most of what we do revolves around tracking our campaigns and how they are performing. So it's much better than going in & individually recording data on each video we work with. Now we get results in minutes and have plugged it into our database so our dashboard can update with newest data & clients know how their campaigns are progressing daily!

It's not the easiest to understand at first. A colleague of mine who is more familiar with tech & data was able to figure it out but for the rest of us, it's not as easy to understand the functions/how to make things work at first.

Ease with which I can develop new APIs and start earning from those.

Their developer analytics is not at all good, no clear analytics about the costs and its usage.

I utilized this tool to assist in the creation of a tourism website and discovered their Hotels.com and Trip Advisor capabilities to be really beneficial.

There might be some redundancy or slight mistakes, therefore you ought to review the exported file when loading or modifying data.

Apify lets you focus on developing the core functionality without the need to manage any infrastructure. The API is really awesome in that it lets you integrate with other tools easily (either directly or via tools like Zapier or Integromat). And using webhooks, you can chain actors to build even more sophisticated data pipelines.

There were a couple of moments where I couldn't find the information I was looking for in the documentation and had to find out using trial and error.

There are a lot options to customize the web crawling and scraping solutions, it is great to see there is a lot of automatization for workflow integration.

The time it takes to run an actor is a major bottleneck(restarting actor every time a request has been made) when working with limited RAM, with new Standby mode I am excited to test whether that can be addressed.

Easy to use with a user friendly interface. I can easily get any sort of data using this software as extraction of huge volume of data from different sources could be done easily with this powerful tool so i can easily get the data i need at any time when needed.

A reduction in the price will be appreciated to enable more access. Apart from this no cons.

I like Apify's powerful and flexible web scraping capabilities, which allows for easy extraction and automation of data from various websites with minimal effort.

I find Apify's pricing to be somewhat high which could be a barrier for small businesses or individual users.
