Overall Satisfaction with Apify
I am the first (and as of now, only, as far as I know) user of Apify at my organization. I am currently working on a research project that requires a great deal of data collection from a platform that is traditionally unfriendly towards web scraping. After facing many problems with existing solutions and solutions I built, I decided to give Apify a try. Apify easily handled everything I needed it to handle, and it has opened up more time for me to perform detailed analysis as a researcher.
Pros
- Customer support
- User-friendly interface
- Excellent student pricing
Cons
- I am not a professional in this particular field, so I do not have anything that I can think of.
- User-friendly interface
- Free/low cost trial with no commitment
- Apify has increased the speed at which I am able to collect data many times over
- Python IDLE and RStudio
Although the purposes and aims of all three products vary widely, I have found Apify to be the most effective option for web scraping for academic purposes. As someone with only a few months' worths of experience with web scraping, I have found Apify's detailed blog posts and very friendly customer support invaluable in my research.
