Octoparse was used to do contact scraping which helped to communicate with the customers for sales/marketing. It does web scraping very well and gives data in a file. No coding was needed in order to achieve this which solved the problem of hiring the web scraping experts to do this job.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The pandemic has made the exhibition business difficult to run and we are exploring new businesses in international warehousing. This is a good tool to collect data for business research. I collected data like inventory, sales of online stores. It is mostly used by myself. In fact, we don't have a development team so I learned by following the guides and asking the support.

I used Octoparse to get mostly ecommerce data and it is working well. I think it can get data from most web pages as long as you can see it on the pages. Because it is scraping the data by getting into the source code of the page or something. And it is good for people who do research: the software can organize and clean the data, so you are able to export structured data into Excel or CSV. This is convenient for further analysis.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Octoparse. Now this is an interesting company. I was recently promoted to Director of Sales and I knew that in order to get leads, I'd have to be able to scrape the web at my discretion and look for the data that I wanted. That being said I have 0 prior experience with this process before now. And make no mistake, it's technical. With all that in mind, I have only ever had to reach out to their customer service once for help. They responded the same day and I was off and running. Octoparse also has some YouTube videos that have proven helpful. Once I become more proficient with the program we're going to buy more licenses so I can teach more people in my company to use it for other projects.

Octoparse is good for web scraping and crawling. It has done everything I've ever asked it to with very few exceptions. With that in mind, I would think that if it wasn't able to preform a task, it's probably user error. I'm hesitant to reach out to their customer service team, as with the free plan you get what they call "community, lazy support" which makes it seem like they'll get to you when they feel like it. Not really complaining though, since I'm not paying for anything, so what can you expect? At any rate, I'd highly recommend them.
