The best data enriching platform out there
What do you like best about the product?
We are in a startup of finding jobs for people looking for one. But finding the right set of people is very difficult. There were many CRM giving us the the leads but relevant lead generation is something we can do for ourselves and there is no standard software for every use case possible out there. Apify helped us to get the data of relevant people. I use it mostly as CRMs for enriching our leads and best thing is we set it up using its api endpoints. So it's all automated in n8n.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's too many choices and sometimes it becomes overwhelming. If there could be an official review or something like editors choice, it would be easier to select a particular agent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to find the leads and then enrich them with their relevant data. Most other CRMs don't help me get that personalised data for my leads.
Apify increased my ROI on stack tools / automations by 50%
What do you like best about the product?
its ability to host tools I need. It strengthens my workflow
What do you dislike about the product?
the UI is the only thing that doesn't impress me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manual scraping leads, to now auto dig on leads
Great for Automating Data Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Apify is its combination of ready-made scrapers and deep customization options. The Actor Store makes it easy to get started quickly, while the ability to build custom actors gives us the flexibility to handle more complex workflows. The automation and scheduling features are also extremely helpful, since they let us run scrapers in the background and feed structured data directly into our CRM and dashboards. Overall, Apify saves us significant time, reduces manual work, and allows us to scale data collection far beyond what we could manage manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the learning curve. For simpler tasks, it’s beginner-friendly, but once you need to build or customize actors, you really need solid JavaScript skills. The documentation is thorough but can feel scattered and overly technical for new users. In addition, the dashboard could benefit from better organization features (like project folders or tags) once you manage a lot of actors and datasets. Finally, pricing is fair, but credit usage isn’t always intuitive, so it takes time to understand how to optimize costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify is solving the problem of scalable, reliable web data extraction for our organization. Before, we relied heavily on manual research or outsourced data providers, which was time-consuming, inconsistent, and costly. With Apify, we’ve automated tasks like lead generation, competitor price monitoring, and market research, which means we can access structured, accurate data in real time.
The benefits are clear:
Efficiency – Our sales and research teams save dozens of hours each month by having data automatically scraped and delivered into our CRM and dashboards.
Cost savings – We’ve reduced external data acquisition costs by around 30–40% since we can now manage scraping in-house.
Revenue impact – Faster access to competitor insights has helped us adjust pricing strategies and win deals we may have otherwise missed.
Scalability – We can handle projects involving hundreds of thousands of data points without worrying about infrastructure or IP blocks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quite an interesting product with useful features. I linked its pretty understandable user interface, which I found quite comfortable to learn fairly quickly. I felt that the platform is quite versatile for a few of my automation scenarios where I needed a cloud-based solution with scheduling available. Quite many actors are available for a variety of tasks. Apify allowed me to build my solution and utilize different resources to meet my requirements for the task I needed to do. Thanks!
Excellent scraping tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is both easy to use and has infinite integrations. If you are new to scraping, you can use it to get valuable data from websites with ease. If you are an experienced professional, you can integrate it with your services in infinite ways. Price is predictable, and they have a lot of case scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit expensive sometimes, especially if you have to rent an actor and also pay for actor usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is our main lead source. We can scrape leads from the internet and enrich them based on their data on linkedin or google maps.
Reliability and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
While social media pages often change their layouts and our in-house web-scraping method sometimes struggles to keep up, we rely on Apify actors as a dependable backup. In the meantime, while waiting for our developers to implement a permanent fix, Apify provides us with a fast, flexible, and highly reliable solution. We truly appreciate the versatility of the available tools and the overall quality of the service — it’s been a genuine life-saver for our workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only drawback we’ve encountered with Apify is that occasionally some available scrapers don’t capture 100% of the data — for example, not all comments from a post. It’s rare, but worth keeping in mind for highly data-sensitive projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify serves as our reliable backup solution when in-house scrapers face issues, ensuring we can still collect the necessary data without delays.
