- Best tool to crawl a site, hands down.
- Configurable for custom data extractions.
- In-depth exports for reporting.
- Configurable connections to Analytics and Search Console.
- Wealth of online documentation.
- Exporting one report at time to CSV or XSLX can be cumbersome and time consuming.
- Custom extraction requires pretty in-depth knowledge of RegEx or XPath.
- Not a very visual tool.
- Larges sites can take up a tremendous amount of resources (RAM, space, connection).

- Allows for quick and easy business development audits, allowing us to generate net new income.
- Saves us time in the SEO department, hours saved is money earned.
- Saved a tremendous amount of time and resources across Dev and PM.
- SEO Auditing
- Quality Assurance with Dev
- Quality Assurance with Project Management
- We have a wide range of development clients, we use the tool to check updates to sites that the dev makes through custom extraction. When the change affects many pages, this makes it considerably easier to check changes as opposed to hours spent going page by page.
- For SEO auditing, I export my reports that I need from a site crawl and copy that data into a google sheet, I then use that sheet as a data source to visualize the data from the crawl. This allows us to easily create reports to clients.
- Allowing for easier methods of custom extraction (intsead of writing regex or XPath) would allow us to bring this out to more users in the company.

- Training others who did not know the software how to use it. It was rather time consuming.
- A standard crawl is easy and can be accomplished by anyone
- Connecting to outside APIs
- Custom extraction is not easy to use without knowledge of RegEx (which I already knew) or XPath which I had to learn.
- With reporting you have to export each report separately instead of one workbook created, with multiple sheets. This can get very cumbersome when you need a lot of the reporting, especially the SERP reporting.
- For a beginner, it's hard to extrapolate the most important findings from your crawl.
- Getting the report to visualized.
- A Fantastically quick crawl across all pages of the site
- Very easy exports for interpretation of data, sometimes very large data sets
- Very intuitive and easy to use
- Ability to deep dive using Regex
- While it is intuitive it could have a better GUI
- The functionality is there, but having a WIZYWIG would be good for entry level users
- The support level is somewhat lacking

- From an ROI point of view, it is without peer. Being able to run a crawl that quickly and have the results exported to a nice and easy Excel sheet is fantastic.
- An analyst can have a field day, the amount of data that is there for you is amazing. If you have a plan before you run the crawl, you will not be disappointed.
- As stated before, if you are a novice, the amount of data can be overwhelming.
- Basic Crawl
- Export of reports
- url return times
- Regex
- custom reporting
- device type reporting
