What do you dislike about Apify?

Negative Impact of Apify on Business Objectives:

While Apify has had a positive impact on our business objectives, there have been some challenges and limitations. For example:

Learning Curve: 2-3 weeks (it took our team 2-3 weeks to fully understand and utilize Apify's capabilities)

Technical Issues: 5% (we have experienced some technical issues with data extraction and integration, which have impacted our workflow) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless LinkedIn Job Extraction with Apify"
What do you like best about Apify?

I’m currently using Apify to gather LinkedIn job posts, and I have to say, the service has exceeded my expectations. The setup was simple, the documentation is clear, and the entire process works flawlessly. It’s rare to find a tool that performs exactly as promised, but Apify does just that. The automation is smooth, the output is clean, and the reliability has been excellent so far. Anyone looking for a dependable solution to extract job data from LinkedIn should definitely give it a try. I’m genuinely impressed — amazing service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

Nothing to complain, works just fine for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Automating Data Workflows"
What do you like best about Apify?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable for Workflow Newbie"
What do you like best about Apify?

Apify had the content accesses I needed and a module that was pretty simple as a newbie to integrate with make.com - and the data comes when I call it. I'm happy with it - and as a learner with workflows - It's nice that I can rely on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

As a newbie to workflow design, it's a bit challenging to be sure that you've got the best module chosen for what you need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease in Automation and Surreal Scalability"
What do you like best about Apify?

I like the ease of creating and scaling automations with the actors from the Apify community, who help a lot. They have many ready-made solutions that work quite well, which is great because I'm not stuck on a task forever. I also liked that the transition from homemade scripts to Apify happened because of many actors, due to the simple maintenance and the incredible scalability. Moreover, I found the setup process quick and relatively simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

Sometimes the doc is a bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent hosting for all software projects but I hope the user experience will be improved."
What do you like best about Apify?

Speed ​​of order execution

The ability to specify a specific RAM size for each actor.

The API service enables the user to communicate with their program using programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

Prices should be reduced.

Discount coupons should be offered.

Plans with fewer features and lower prices should be added.

Adding advanced search features such as searching within run outputs

Working to speed up site response

I think it would be an excellent feature to add a database with a control panel for all actor outputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Web Scraping Made Simple with Apify"
What do you like best about Apify?

I find that Apify has made scraping Google Maps leads for my local manufacturing company so much easier compared to other tools. It's powerful, and I love the specific feature that allows me to connect it with Claude via MCP. This connection lets me type what I want and scrape the leads I need efficiently. The setup was also incredibly easy; I just logged in, paid for it, used my free credit, and went from there without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
