Graduate Student Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Premium Plan is the Best Option Available" January 12, 2021 5.0 I'm using ScrapeStorm in combination with RStudio to create dataframes. This process is quite seamless when using .csv formats and is quite easy to integrate and use as a regular data set under ordinary circumstances. Generally, I thought ScrapeStorm was a good product with a fair price, even if it was clunky on occasion. Pros ScrapeStorm is able to autodetect fields and scrape them in simply. Additionally, you may edit these yourself to target specific JSON and other detailed information if it does not. The full array of export options was useful. It has a friendly user interface. The option to add an excel sheet full of URLs you need scraped was very useful. If they all match the same format, the product has no problem applying your flowchart/automated scrape through multiple URLs. Cons When dealing with websites with large amounts of data, the UI can appear unresponsive. This has fooled me into thinking the data wouldn't scrape/the program was frozen, but it was just trying to detect fields and place the objects in the correct columns. This was irritating. The data I was scraping cut out at one point. I'm not sure if this is because my connection to the website I was scraping was blocked (which IP rotation is meant to solve) or if the program really thought it was finished scraping. This caused me to lose 120 URLs out of 375 in a comparative context, which almost ruined my project had I not caught this discrepancy and re-done the scrape. For an ordinary user below of Premium plan, which includes unlimited scrapes (>50,000), this may be concerning as you can't really tell if your scrape is exactly what you want unless you stop the process and double check manually.

Pros Its very easy to use, it works very smoothly also the data can be scrapped from variety of websites such as Group On , Yelp, LinkedIn. The data scrapped is highly accurate and to the point. We can customize the fields according to our needs. We can export data in different forms such as Csv, text file and excel sheet which comes very handy while importing data using different applications like Microsoft excel or google sheets. Cons Only 100 fields of data can be scrapped per day in free version which limits our ability to import more data. Sometimes it shows error while scrapping data from certain websites which needs to be improved. Review Source VS Vincent S. Student Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "ScrapeStorm is a Great Product!" March 6, 2022 5.0 I had a great experience collecting data for my dissertation. Pros I found the ease of use to be the best thing about this software. I tried to write a program to do what ScrapeStorm does and after a week, I decided to see if I could find software already written. That is when I found ScrapeStorm! It would have taken me at least 2-3 weeks to create a program like ScrapeStorm for one specific task. However, ScrapeStorm is multi-purpose! Cons One day I had issues loading one of the websites that I wanted to collect data from, but the next day it was able to load fine on ScrapeStorm. I could visit it through Google Chrome, but it would not load through ScrapeStorm, but the next day the issue was fixed! Review Source JM Joseph M. Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scrape storm is great for easily extracting data for no-coders" October 29, 2021 5.0 Very positive. Would highly recommend for people of all technical capabilities. Pros Scrapestorm is very intuitive and easy to use. Setting up data extraction from a website can be done in a couple of minutes and is very flexible and customizable. The software also enables scraping of websites which supposedly do not allow scraping, which is a big plus. Cons While it is easy to extract data from most website, it can take a couple of tries to extract data from websites with more difficult structures. You will get there in the end though.

University Assistant Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ScrapeStorm - The workhorse for Web Scrapping" March 4, 2020 5.0 I am using it for web scrapping in order to derive samples which I can use for statistical analysis. It's a great tool for academia. In the future I will also use it for the analysis of blogs etc. Pros It is a really user-friendly software with a graphical interface. This means it can be used by novices and experts as well. The functions it provides are on point and compared to other software tools, this is way better. The user interface is great. I have been looking for other tools as well but haven't found anything comparable. I am a researcher and I would definitely recommend this tool to my colleagues for any web scrapping related tools - especially since EVERYONE can use it. Cons Nothing to complain about. In case you want to take full advantage, please be sure to buy the full package. Otherwise pay attention to your hardware. Review Source AB Alicia B.

Business Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapestorm Works Smarter Not Harder" October 16, 2019 4.0 Scrapestorm has helped our business scrape publicly available information on social media platforms, media outlets, and product pages. It has saved us all the time and energy it would take to do that exercise manually! Pros 1.Easy to grab sections off a web page when setting up the scraping task 2. Special value offerings in the data set like the scrape timestamp and data rank 3. Easy to track the scraping task once it's started 4. Data deduplication feature 5. Many export options with the ability to track which data points you've already exported for optimal organization 6. Love the "image may contain" feature to help categorize qualitative data like images 7. Easy to automate tasks Cons The only issue I've experienced is that sometime the automatic export to SQL Server can stall out with larger data sets. Review Source CS Charl S. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The software I have always wanted to find!" August 4, 2018 5.0 This is a fast-growing software, I would love to see its progress, and I recommend you try it. I believe it will give you a good experience. Pros I just started using this software for a month. During the process, I found that this is really a very powerful software. Its smart mode can scrape a variety of different types of websites, and it is easy to use. As long as I have seen a few tutorials, I will understand the whole process. But I prefer to use the advanced mode. Although it is a bit more complicated, but it is more powerful, it is very helpful for my academic research. I also recommend my students to try it. And I will continue to use the paid version. Cons Of course, there are still some problems when using it. For example, sometimes the response is slow, and a few websites are not supported. But it is updated very quickly, the technicians will quickly find bugs and fix them. I believe that this software will be more mature after a while. Review Source HC Hande C. Information Asst. Manager Information Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Better Than Smillar Products. It really works" May 20, 2019 5.0 I am a coordinator of a data center and we scrape lots of information from websites. We have tested more than 15 web-based and desktop scrapper according to my idea ScrapeStorm more successful than other well-known scrapers. Pros Easy to use, the software detects pagers, links, Info Columns, correctly. So you can scrape List and Detail pages easily. Also has auto scroll, programmable actions on the page. So you can get the result of an advance search. Additionally, I like desktop scrappers, I want to see my scrape results in my pc. Thus, You can compare expected results and scraped results. Because of that, I do not like to use web-based online scrappers. Cons I hope they can give another payment option rather than paypal. Review Source MA Muhammed A. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Scraper Overall" November 12, 2019 5.0 Pros I have tried almost all scrapers available in the market for non coders and scrape storm has nailed in reliability and ease of use. It can identify objects very precisely unlike Octaparse in which you have trouble fetching data if page structure changes even a little bit. The best interactive scraper which is stable Two important functions of making logical decision making Enter command, which is not available in any scraper Smart mode, also only offered in one other scraper but is extremely expensive to deploy Increase speed of scraping. Cons Doesnt offer payment option excep paypal or paypal affiliated credit card. Review Source JT Jon T. Customer Service Advisor Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It would be better if you could name the image." January 3, 2019 5.0 Pros I can't believe how fast ScrapeStorm is when collecting list pages. I used it to get a lot of data quickly, so I can analyze the data as soon as possible. Moreover, it can also download pictures directly, not just links to pictures, so I like it very much. It would be better if you could name the picture. Look forward to it! Cons I found that when you need scrape into, the acceleration function will look like it doesn't work. Sometimes it won't even collect. I don't know why. Review Source IB Irene B. Master Degree Student Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Useful also for who have never code" August 7, 2020 5.0 Pros The software is very useful to use even for who have never code, like me. Indeed, every time you create a new field, you can give the input data selecting directly whatever you prefer in the browser. So, you can view instantly if you are extracting the right field, because the working view is divided in two part: up the browser, down the columns with the field that you added. It is also good that you can scrape in a single field and the software merge automatically the main page data with the second page ones. Cons Even if it is intuitive, I would like to see more examples and video tutorials. Review Source AF Alec F. Marketing Associate Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Looking forward to new features" December 25, 2018 4.0 Pros Of course, this is a great piece of software. I tried a lot of data extraction software, this is the easiest software I have ever used. The new acceleration feature has greatly increased the speed of my data collection, especially when collecting list pages. I look forward to ScrapeStorm's new and powerful features. Cons When collecting, sometimes it will stop after collecting two pages, which may be a problem with the webpage. Review Source TL Toby L.

This is going to save me an absurd amount of time doing otherwise mind-numbing manual work to get this up-to-date data for my customers every week. The affordable price makes this a no-brainer purchase. Pros I love the ease of use of ScrapeStorm.

It took me literally 10 seconds to scrape a whole thread from a forum for further anaylsis without defining any variables or pagination etc. It just works out of the box, which is very impressive... Also export of the data is super easy... Cons It's a pity that there is only the option for a subscription...

Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best web scraping tool I have ever used" July 24, 2018 5.0 Pros It is very simple to use for me, the whole interface is very simple and clear, I especially like its visual operation and intelligent recognition function.

When I first started using it, it seems to be a very new software. Of course there are a lot of bugs, but the staff is very good and answered some of my questions. I saw its progress in these three months, and I am very much looking forward to the launch of the cloud collection function. I heard that engineers have recently made major changes to the software, hoping it will be better. Cons Sometimes the same operation will not scrape the data, and the software version has not been updated for a long time, I hope the next update can solve these problems. Review Source KW Kris W. Finance Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A practical web scraper tool with shortcomings" September 30, 2018 4.0 Pros The "Schedule Job" function of this software is very much needed by me. I set the real-time scraping of stock data. It will run automatically every hour and does not require me to operate. It saves me a lot of time and allows me to spend more time analyzing data, which is very helpful for my work. Cons It is a pity that ScrapeStorm does not have the function of cloud collection.

August 17, 2018 5.0 After using it for a while, I think his collection function is still very good, although there are some minor problems, it can be solved quickly after contacting customer service. Pros I really like its timed activation function, it really saves me a lot of time, this is my favorite point, of course, other functions are also very good. And it will also send me a custom service, which surprises me. Cons The entire interface of the software needs to be optimized. I don't know where many functions are. The novice boot function is not good enough. I didn't even notice this function at first. Review Source Similar Products Featured
