User Testimonials
	Import.io	Paper.li
Likelihood to Recommend	Import.io We used Connotate as a data mining tool for web research as a teaching assistant for the College of Information Sciences and Technology. You could train agents to automatically gather data in a variety of ways, which I used in my own research. Connotate's analysis was not as useful to me as the data itself, because we were using it to inform us of trends rather than make decisions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li You don't have a bandwidth to come up with new fresh content daily for Twitter but want to keep the account active.

Pros	Import.io Scrapes specific parts of webpages Crawls pages and scrapes based on patterns you specify via examples Very effective and accurate when it comes to scraping data of large URL lists Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li Adds visibility to your account - set the criteria up and have the ejournal run automatically sending out tweets daily that tag other industry handles and hashtags. By doing so you will keep your account active with minimal time investment. Pose as a thought leader by sharing relevant content and industry news and get more Twitter followers Get free traffic to your pages by expanding on your company or service in the bio section and linking back Incentivized Ksenia Newton Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Cons	Import.io Stability. software frequently crashed previously. Training. Students had a had time understanding how to use the tool, and then where to use it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li Lots of great features are no longer there Incentivized Ksenia Newton Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Import.io I do not think I would have the budget to use it currently. When using it previously, was working with the developers to improve the product and was given accounts at no cost Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Import.io [We selected Import.io because] They were top ranking in SEO. I will never work with them again though. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li I have tried Scoop.it but it's not really an alternative. I'm not aware of any other products similar to Paper.li Incentivized Ksenia Newton Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Import.io It really helped to collect large chunks of data from the web. When compared to writing a script from scratch, it is very simple to use for creating a web agent. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Paper.li No answers on this topic
