Huge fan of Apify for lead gen via scraping google maps and general web scraping

Reviewed 3 months ago

I'm shocked I just recently heard about this platform. I've been sharing it with my friends who run similar businesses as much as I can.

Pros

I'm not the most techy person, but I can easily configure their actors with Apify's UI and then copy the input json to make.com to create automated lead gen scrapes. I love this!

Cons

It can be a little buggy when actors are running and watching the latest actor runs page, but everything catches up and displays correctly once the actors finish. No a big deal.

Apify is a robust tool for data extraction

Reviewed a year ago

I have undertaken critical tasks fairly easily with Apify

Pros

Apify makes it relatively easy to extract data - there is a learning curve as with any tool but it achieves the tasks proficiently.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve and it appears complex at first, but out-of-the-box- profiles for common tasks really help

Jack of all trade data extraction

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall it is a realy convenient en flexible tool for data extraction. I'm using it on an episodic basis to shorten the development and deployment time of my automation workflow.

Pros

Super flexible tool for data extraction. IP proxies are super helpful for some data sources like google search. The wide library of rebuild actors allows deploying automation workflow really quickly.

Cons

Apify is a tool for developers, it is pretty hard to get started with it for non-technical users.

Apify experience

Reviewed 3 months ago

I really like it, its easy to use, the pricing is okay, and it simplified web scraping process for me.

Pros

Its really easy and straightforward to start using Apify platform, the documentation is great. And bonus for webscraping is the open-source Crawlee library, that made my scraping experience 10x faster than doing it the old school way.

Cons

On Apify platform I miss using custom docker images (builds I built myself or in GitHub Actions pipeline), but thats managable.

Get the data you need from any source

Reviewed a year ago

We used Apify to extract scientific articles from our affiliaties in an automated way for reporting and publishing. It was fast and spot on.

Pros

Configuring an actor and obtaining the data was an efficient process, and we obtained the required information easily.

Cons

Proper configuring and extraction requires an user with a certain degree of technical knownledge. They might reason on adding a few more preconfigured examples or tutorials.

Amazing customer service

Reviewed 7 months ago

Pleasantly surprised I managed to stumble on it

Pros

They reply instantly to queries, they are super helpful and they care about the consumer. They don't grab your money, they grab your loyalty by being nice. Thanks to Tsveta for the help. Product is amazing and does more than needed.

Cons

Maybe slightly tough to learn for a tech newbie like me, but still has great explanations for certain tools.

Really Frustrating

Reviewed 5 months ago

Frustrating, almost 1 week to setup an account, no support , far from being a serious platform

Pros

Nothing, i have not found any useful about this product, since i was not able even to setup the account an use within an organization

Cons

Really frustrating, impossible to setup an account and be part of the organization, no support

Vendor response

Hi Jorge, really sorry to hear about your trouble. I have investigated the issue internally to see what went wrong and it seems that your domain did not have an email server set up, so your email was considered invalid and hence your account also wasn't verified (as verification email wasn't sent). We believe the situation has been resolved, but if you run into any issue or need any help you can also reach us directly at support [at] apify.com Thank you for understanding and apologies one more time for your troubles. Best regards, Oliver

Apify + Make.com + Open.AI = Amazing

Reviewed 3 months ago
Pros

It's like an app store for scrapers (and more) - no company on it's own could make so many amazing scrapers, but Apify's business model is genius, and that's why there's so many great tools at a great price (for many of them).

Cons

Sometimes the best actors are behind a rental paywall - but I can't even get mad at that because the best coders will want to be reimbursed well.

Automation to create workflow

Reviewed a year ago

Compared to other platforms, his platform gives scrapers the most alternatives. It is easy to use and manage, offers scalability, and speed.

Pros

Apify is a versatile, strong, and simple-to-use solution that enables secure data storage while enabling the development of dependable and very valuable web scraping through its straight forward API and built-in tools, the platform simplifies these procedures while yet providing the scalability, flexibility, and dependability required for more complex use cases.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about this method, which offers good quality web data extraction.Prices are unjust.Price i think are high so they have to work on that.

Great automation platform for web scraping

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall experience is great I had mostly no issue with the platform. Sometimes I found some actors that were not working out of the box. I use the platform for my hobby projects and it works very well for my usecase.

Pros

It is easy to use, offers great SDK for easier and faster development and is easy to add to your automated workflow.

Cons

I miss some middle ground in the pricing between Free and Personal plan. I find the Personal plan too expansive and would love something like Hobby plan which would be cheaper but still offered some of the paid features.
