Founder Head of Product and Marketing
5.0

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.
