I liked the tentacles concept that will be useful to push the changes to more than one area/customer. It works really great to implement CI/CD when working with TeamCity to build your software.
They don't have a US version even when they tell you that they do- they will take your money but never refund it. They will string you along - its a scam.
Has a lot of functionality that I'm still exploring - ability to run from the cloud and to schedule extractions. From what I gather, the customer support is pretty strong and responsive.
Did not say anywhere that it was saving the tasks to their servers, so that's why probably has trouble with large tasks.
But you can make it more robust and edit it in the advanced mode. It should definitively help me to gain a lot of time... and money (as far as I'm able to set up the APIs.
So crawling the data was impossible, the system will stopped before finished the entire data crawling.
I have used octoparse for a client a couple of months ago, and I LOVED IT. I loved it enough to try it again for my business.
There are some features that might be hard to understand how to use if you do not have a basic understanding of coding.
The proxy success rates are outstanding, and their integration options are perfect for both beginners and advanced users.
The only downside is their premium pricing, which might be a barrier for smaller businesses or individual users.
I really appreciate Oxylabs for its reliable and extensive proxy network, oxylab labs proxy quality is amazing and they provide high speed proxy service. Im using oxylabs since 7+ years.
Price steps between tiers are a bit steep, lack of more pay as you go options for scraper plans.
It was super easy to set up, and the whole thing just makes sense—no complicated hoops to jump through. The proxies are fast and reliable, which has made a big difference in our work.
They don't have domain block option. Like i want to block some hidden request from google, but in oxylabs not have that option to blocked unwanted domains.
Generally very good so far. Good support, stability of services and transparency on my spending.
Cost - it can be costly to run the residential proxies many times.
Stephen H.: Hi. I'm Stephen. I'm the founder of Savvy Spender. I've been using Octoparse for a couple of years, and I rate it five out of five. I'd investigated a number of different companies. Brightwater Data was one of the examples, and compared to Octoparse, what they were quoting was much higher for the same capabilities. I'd also used developers to create Python-based scrapers, and they had to be updated on a regular basis. So a lot of that is the reason why Octoparse, I guess, was the solution that was right for me. Octoparse, it's easy to use if you're not a technical person. So it's easy to update the scrapers, it gives a good level of functionality, it allows you to scrape data from sites. It allows you to truncate the data, edit it or amend it, and send it to backend databases in a pretty seamless easy-to-use fashion. I also found that Octoparse's customer service team are very helpful and responsive. And overall, their pricing is great value for what you get, in my opinion. Octoparse is easy to integrate. Once you get a basic level of understanding, it's easy to use and connect with other tools. You can use Zapier, as an example, to connect Octoparse with a multitude of different tools and platforms. I'd say always look out and assess what options are there, what's best for you. But if you're like me and you have limited technical abilities, then I would definitely recommend Octoparse.
