What do you dislike about the product?
Although Apify is the goto swiff knife for the domain of scrapping and automation, I find pricing or running the service require attention to the resource my instances my use. If you want to customize things around you may face a learning curve if you are a biginner for advanced features, custom actor creation. But as for light weight user alot of actors is ready for you and learning rexources is there to help bridge the gap if exist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like a Swiss Army knife for web scraping and automation. It lets me develop, test, run, host, and store data for multiple use cases without worrying about tracking progress, managing the data collected, or dealing with proxy requirements. This is super handy in the SaaS world, where you can run your instance in the cloud and let the actors handle everything as intended.
Completely flexible, they have what you need

Great for Automation development and Web Scraping Needs!

The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it accessible even for those new to automation.
What I love most about Apify is its flexibility. It integrates smoothly with various APIs, tools, and cloud services, which has allowed us to build scalable solutions.

Best data scraping platform I've found!
What do you like best about the product?
Previously, I've tried other scraping platforms, and they're either too cumbersome, expensive, or have limited capabilities for free or individual users. I instantly fell in love with Apify for its ease of use and flexible, transparent pricing models. I literally had scrapers running and integrated with my applications in minutes, and I understood clearly how much the scraping cost. Also, Apify's customer support is quick to respond and helpful.
The whole interface is really helpful with brilliant monitoring, verbose logging, graphical displays of scraping runs, operations, data, and multiple ways to configure your actors and runs. The selection of pre-built scrapers is vast, and I've seen it steadily increasing as I've used the platform. It has great, easy integration with make.com and webhooks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, some actors are too expensive or have monthly subscription fees associated with them, but that's not a problem with the platform. I haven't really run into any problems with the platform that would lead me to dislike it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes I need lists of local businesses for work I'm doing, and Apify makes it easy and seamless, including enriching the data from different scrapers by different developers.

A happy everyday user
What do you like best about the product?
Apify offers a robust platform that streamlines web scraping, making it effortless to scale and navigate anti-bot defences. The documentation is thorough, and the support team is both responsive and knowledgeable. After using it daily for over six months, I can confidently say it integrates seamlessly into any workflow.
On Apify, scrapers are referred to as "actors" and are straightforward to implement—especially once you've built a few. After writing two or three, the process becomes intuitive and highly efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's the best out there, so it's hard to talk about the things I don't like. Either way, I'd love to see a couple of features that will save some time if present. I'm glad to say that I've already contacted Apify about them and one is already in their pipeline!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can talk about myself and my company, but Apify is solving scaling, templating and bypassing anti-bot defences. It does it well and reliable, so we are all very happy about working with them. We've become an Apify partner and they also send us leads that have contacted them in need of a scraper. To put it briefly, Apify checks a lot of ticks for us
