S. Student Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to use software" May 14, 2021 5.0 It is pretty straightforward in terms of the use of the software and I was able to extract data that I want. Pros I like the ScrapeStorm since it is easy to use for a student like me that does not know much about programming stuff to scrape information. It is user friendly and there are tutorials that guide me on how to operate the software. Cons Sometimes the extracted file does not contain any information so I need to double check the process to get the information I need. Review Source AH Alex H. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great intuitive and did what others can't" January 22, 2024 5.0 Exceptional product for pennies compared to alternative products Pros The GUI and the ease of being able to do what I needed to do without tonnes of code Cons It's all good, there's nothing I didn't like about it Alternatives considered [Agenty](https://www.capterra.com/p/195448/Agenty/) Reason for choosing ScrapeStorm Better interface and better pricing structure, has far more options Review Source IS Ian S. Retail Merchandiser Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Stability is very important" December 5, 2018 4.0 Pros This software is really great in terms of data extraction. I need to extract a lot of product data from Amazon, and I can extract it as soon as I set the field. And I can very much be satisfied with the ability to export data to a database. Cons This software also has a lot of bugs. First of all, it is very unstable. Sometimes the same settings can't extract data, and there will be a lot of problems when you log in to another computer. I hope these problems can be solved as soon as possible. Review Source TL Tyler L. Developer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool to extract data" April 14, 2024 4.0 Pros Love the UI, easy to drag, select and target. Also supporting rotating IP mode which is good to avoid robot detection. Good performance during extraction Cons Sometimes it has bug and stop unexpectedly causing lost data. Does not support filter data by date if using same job with different records. Switched from [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Faster and bypass captcha and robot easily comparing to others Review Source MW Mathew W. Owner Consumer Electronics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Tool" April 8, 2020 5.0 So far I am extremely impressed. My first impression was that it's just another scrape tool but I am extremely impressed I no longer have to manually get product details (like compatible printer models for our ink cartridges for example) which took 6-9 months to do! I am extremely impressed. Pros It scraped my supplier's products, including product name, price, even information that you could only get after clicking the link it added it to the excel spreadsheet wonderfully. I used a free tool which only collected maybe 1 fifth of the products and looking back if I would have found ScrapeStorm sooner it would have saved and actually generated my company much more orders since there were so many missing products and details. Cons The boost feature is only in higher plans as well as the fact that there's no plans for someone who only does online inventory maybe once every few months. I would have loved a higher priced premium plan but I'm not going to pay double or triple the base plan fee just to use it for a couple days a month. Switched from [import.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/135185/import-io/) I only got the page details like product picture, name, and price. I also needed internal details which were compatible printer models for each ink cartridge. They sent me information literally 2+ months after I already ended up doing everything manually. Not to mention their steps did not work and was not user friendly for adding X PATH which did not work to get the required details regardless. Review Source TB Tyler B. President Insurance Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Huge Fan!" July 9, 2021 5.0 I am looking forward to continuing to use this program and try the premium version Pros What I liked most is the ease of it all. It is able to scrape the web perfectly and pick up on all the portions of the webpage automatically that need to be scraped. I tried a bunch of different products and this is by far the best one. Cons You cannot use the full features during a trial. Alternatives considered [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) Reason for choosing ScrapeStorm It scraped a website that the other could not. Review Source JL Jamine L. Pre-service Teacher Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Conveniency" May 5, 2025 5.0 Pros I like how it is easy to use without too many complicated ways, especially with the tutorial you can find on YouTube. Cons It would be the pricing and lack of accessibility for those who badly needed it, even for just a day. Review Source Pierre E. Founder Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very useful and capable tool that is flexible and relatively easy to use" November 20, 2020 5.0 So far, very happy with it Pros It's fast to start scraping It's flexible and can manage various tasks on many websites It's clean It's reliable Cons It can be sometimes a bit confusing when you start more complex scraping actions Takes a few trials before really understanding the software Review Source Fred P. Student Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Simple scraping" September 2, 2019 5.0 Great product for researchers. And student discounts available! Pros \- Scraping of Facebook pages made easy - Both automated and customizable - Fast to scrape and easy to export results Cons \- Sometimes the automated detection of page features needs to be tweaked manually Review Source Joachim Alexander R.

Director Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally, A great piece of software!" November 20, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to use, designed well, does exactly what we needed it to do. Customer service is excellent. Cons I haven't found anything i dislike with the scraping software yet! Review Source RL Rukmi L. HR Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I can't believe the progress made by ScrapeStorm." December 11, 2018 5.0 Compared to two months ago, ScrapeStorm has made tremendous progress, and I can't believe it. It adds a lot of new features and is much easier to use than before. Pros I found that ScrapeStorm now has a new feature that can filter data. This is really a great feature. I can filter out the data I don't need directly in the process of collecting data, instead of waiting for all data to be collected and then manually processing the data. I think this feature will help me a lot. It allows me to save time processing data. And each column of data can be moved according to my wishes. I really like this tool. Cons Just because it is growing rapidly, it will have some bugs, but these are not problems for me, I can accommodate it. Review Source KD Ken D. Interior Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good helper for extracting and processing data" August 6, 2018 5.0 This is really a good helper for extracting and processing data, it can save you a lot of time. Pros I have been using this software for 4 months and it is really a very useful software. As a designer, I usually need to find a lot of picture material, but other web scraping tools I have used before can't download the extracted pictures directly. This is very troublesome for me. ScrapeStorm can do this, which makes me very surprised, which is the biggest reason I like to use it. Cons Sometimes when extracting more data, the software will be slower, but compared with its advantages, I can completely ignore this small problem. Review Source JH Joseph H. Sales and Marketing Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ScrapeStorm makes my work a lot easier and saves me a lot of time" August 8, 2018 5.0 Pros This software is much better than I thought, although it is still relatively new software. I usually use it to extract product information, analyze recent trends, compare differences with competitors, and its scheduled job function is really great, It automatically extracts updated data as long as the time is set, and can also skip the data that was previously available, which makes my work a lot easier and saves me a lot of time. Cons Sometimes it will flash back or get stuck, but fortunately it can automatically save the task to the cloud, so that the task is not lost. Review Source KS Karl S. Sales AnalySt Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I really like this software. " November 20, 2018 4.0 Pros I really like this software. When I scrape the information of other merchants, ScrapeStorm can quickly extract the data I need. If it can't be recognized sometimes, I can solve it quickly after I ask customer service. Since I don't understand the code at all, sometimes the customer service needs to teach me about the usage of xpath and regularity. Cons The speed of collecting the details page will be slower, but this does not affect my love for it. Review Source Response from Kuaiyi Technology November 26, 2018 Thank you for your support, we are developing an accelerator, and will speed up the scraping speed in the future. CN Christy N. Business Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "If there is anything wrong with xpath" January 10, 2019 4.0 Pros I recently tried to use the flowchart mode. This is a bit hard, but it can scratch a lot of pages that smart mode can't scrape. I also probably understand the role of each component, and I am still trying to find ways to use it. Cons In my use, the other is very good, but there will always be problems when setting the next page loop. After checking, my settings should be correct. I don't know if there is anything wrong with xpath. Review Source EA Eddy A. Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ScrapeStorm，the software is exactly what I want!" August 6, 2018 5.0 Pros This software is exactly what I want! It does work. It is easy to use, but can do a lot of things. It can even be used with some sophisticated websites. It allows me to take in a lot of data points and focus on statistical analysis and data extraction. Cons The software never gave me any problems. I think no one can find better software to extract data from the web. The software works exactly as expected. Review Source MM Mansfield M. Market Research Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good web scraper that can start quickly" September 17, 2018 4.0 Pros This tool does not require input code and xpath, it makes the "simple" to the extreme, the whole process is very smooth. Cons ScrapeStorm sometimes stops when it scrapes data for two or three pages. Later I found out that the software did not automatically recognize the paging button. There are a lot of websites that don't automatically recognize pagination, which makes me very troubled. Review Source SL Stijn L. owner Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Data collection" March 16, 2020 4.0 Pros Smart mode is top. very ease to use. Use for daily data extraction. Data needed for final dissertation. Cons free trail only limited export facilities Review Source TW Tom W. CEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "free and easy to use, extract data with even no configuration" June 29, 2018 5.0 Pros It can analyze the page and extract multi columns like price and title automatically with no pre configuration. It save me a lot of time other than editing the xpath manually. Cons I think it should add more cloud services like data hosting and ip rotation. some APIs like webhooks and restful will be more helpful. Review Source MG Medha G. Content writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The solution to all scrapping hurdles!" September 13, 2019 5.0 Being a content writer, it requires me to read & research full websites for some clients. In such situations, Scrapestorm helps me to the best of my needs! Pros \- its ease of use! The simple interface is what makes Scrapestorm work best for me. Even a person without any tech background can easily use it to the fullest. Cons However, the cost is worth the amount, but if it could be lower then it would be great. Review Source AD Ali D. Regional Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If it speeds up, it will get better" November 28, 2018 4.0 Pros I want to use this software to collect data from the real estate industry and use a large amount of data as a basis to analyze the current market conditions. ScrapeStorm can identify most of the web pages, and the settings for running are relatively simple, which I can understand. I have high expectations for it and hope to implement the cloud capture function very quickly, which will make it easier for me to collect data. Cons When collecting some websites, it will be very slow, perhaps the anti-collection measures of the website, hoping to speed up the scraping speed. Review Source BP Burke P. Desktop Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The smart model is very intelligent!" July 23, 2018 4.0 The software has an amazing function. It can help many ordinary people like me to get more datas easily in this age. Pros I like to use the software because it has a smart model. When I input a site url, it process and extract the field faster than other software. It can scrape datas easily and save my time. What a Good tool. Cons The software also has some problems. Except the smart model, the other model is very difficult to use. And Its tuturial is incomplete. Hope the developers can solve these problems.

From the tutorials to the intuitive software, it has been an overall amazing experience! Pros Truly amazing. This software took a process that is incredibly difficult to code manually and made it very user friendly! Cons It performed incredibly well. Maybe the fact that it was a little laggy could be improved but other than that it was great! Review Source TM Thomas M. Secretary Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ScrapeStorm Review" August 7, 2018 5.0 Pros The interface of the software is very simple. There are a lot of tutorials on how to operate on the homepage. Basically, you can master the operation method of the software through the tutorial. My favorite thing is to filter out the text and extract some specific fields, such as email address, phone number, etc. Cons This is my first time using web scraping software, so I can't compare it with other similar software, but I think it is very helpful to me.
