Great tool for web scraping

Reviewed 5 years ago

I am really happy to use PhantomBuster. It's a very useful tool at a reasonable price.

Pros

It's a wonderful tool for web scraping or social media automation. (It's a library of API) The team still develop the platform without any break.

Cons

Sometimes it can be hard to set up the automation. For social medias functions, you have to limit yourself with the usage to avoid to get ban.

Gives me growth superpowers

Reviewed 5 years ago

I recommend Phantombuster any time I get. A must-have tool for marketers.

Pros

Phantombuster helps me with so many tasks that I would otherwise be unable to do (unless I learned python). Their LinkedIn APIs are amazing, and they keep coming out with great APIs for other platforms that empower marketers.

Cons

Nothing really - keep pumping out great APIs!

I used this PB to generate leads for customer development in a startup.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Time savings and the ability to "work" while I'm taking care of more important tasks.

Pros

I love the ability to automate mind numbing tasks and reach out to a large audience. I automated reach outs to set up meetings, which would have taken forever but using PB I was able to have it run while I was at work, which allowed me to "work" on my startup and still get good stuff done at work.

Cons

I wish there were more options around timing (or they were more obvious). I often ran it once an hour but would forgot to turn it off at the end of the day and run out of all my CPU time at like 3 am.

Realy happy.

Pros

Phantombuster is super flexible web automation infrastructure. The Auto-schedule feature is rely powerful. Support is super reactive and helpful.

Cons

Tool is easy to master. The tech doc could be improved for example provide example of evaluate function without Jquery selector. Would also be useful to have documentation about prebuild packages like linkedin login function & web search package.

Phantombuster is THE go-to tool when it comes to Growth Hacking!

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

You can automate most tasks using Phantombuster. Whether it's LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook - Phantombuster allows you to save a huge amount of time thanks to automation. I really like the fact that it's NOT a chrome extension. Usually, those extensions are really killing the RAM of a computer. With Phantombuster you can simply set up everything and close it. It will work on its own, almost like magic.

Cons

The user interface was a bit rough at first but they're continuously improving it with cool tutorials to help out.

Automation tasks and prospects!

Pros

Thanks to Phantombuster I can now spend my time on valuable tasks. The APIs are really great and useful to automate tasks on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram... The support is perfect. They are quick to answer to my questions. The tool is easy to understand and the tutorials are good.

Cons

The only thing that I'd like would be to have more & more APIs but I know they are working hard on it!

Never using this tool again. Used an Instagram bot - got banned by it for life

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Easy to set up, unfortunately in my case it also meant easy to be banned.

Cons

It's despicable to have a bot that violates Instagram T&C and not make a clear, visible disclaimer that one is using these bots on their own risk. I've used this bot to get a list of followers and instagram banned me, with no opportunity to recover the account. Never using this tool again

Really poor experience

Pros

Nothing we liked about this. It was expensive, support tickets unanswered after 4 weeks

Cons

None of our phantom scripts for instagram work. We had one of our main business brand IG accounts blocked, as we have not been able to login for over 2 weeks. No one replies to support tickets with any detail. It's a really poor service.

The best helper for Growth Marketing

Reviewed 4 years ago

This tool is a must have for SaaS marketers. It would uncover new opportunities and help you drive growth and achieve results by saving time from manual routine work.

Pros

It's amazing tool for upgrading marketing to a next level. Integrations with Facebook, LinkedIn, Qoura and Twitter helps you grow social media profiles, find leads and increase awareness about your product, uplift engagement with followers. Easy to use, great blog post with ideas and useful tool to save tons of time.

Cons

LinkedIn email finder might be improved, also lack of automated workflows that you can set up once and just monitor the channels - so that you need to do several integrations if you use several tools at once.

Able to relatively easily scrape emails from linkedin. Need hunter though.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Able to get tons of emails quickly, from linked-in groups. Also able to pull from multiple platforms.

Pros

Can scrape many in a short amount of time. Also its great that there are many different apps across multiple platforms.

Cons

Without hunter, can't scrape many emails. Also the customer service is lacking, tough to get someone to respond to concerns.

Saves time

Pros

that ability to save tones of time. Doing the things this tool will do manually will take hours, but this tool will do it in minutes.

Cons

not the easiest to use. However it's worth the time investing in using it as it will save hours. Plus its a lot easier than learning Python to do it yourself.

Pros

One place to I can do all my list building from. I can build lists going after target leads emails, facebook profiles, twitter accounts, and most importantly their LinkedIn. Then I can take it further by sending connection requests and messages on LinkedIn.

Cons

Having to wait for more cool scripts to work with. There's so many awesome scripts, but I would love to see more scripts coming out more frequently. Even if there was a beta store for us to test them out before they're fully released.

good, fast but not for frequent use

Reviewed 2 years ago

Is good and further recommended. It is a choice when you need something stable over long time than it pays off well.

Pros

It does what it promises, the data is extracted well, way faster if with own solution. Easy to use.

Cons

There are some shifts in the data offered sometimes with no idea where it comes from, probably mismatch/not tuned for some formatting. You can not do much if you want many threads, need to wait or have more budget what gets costly.

Fantastic way to automate what is usually a grueling task

Reviewed 6 years ago

Hundreds of new LinkedIn connections that are valuable to me.

Pros

Set it and forget it. Do a little work configuring and then it goes to work for you. Very available customer service. Their tutorials are well done, so even a non-technical person could use this service.

Cons

Not really a con, but I would love the ability to harness the power of these API's with Sales Navigator. But I think that is on their radar
