"Botify's e-commerce data insights are unmatched in the industry!"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

The ability to parse out so many different page types and data sets in Botify is a huge plus for a large e-commerce site. While most crawling tools offer limited data and no ability to segment out different marketplaces, pagetypes, or URL strings, Botify has massive configurability to make sense of what is happening in those segments. Additionally, we can set automated alerts and customized insights within Botify to let us know when common issues happen on the site, or when our implementations lead to growth.

What do you dislike about Botify?

While the Custom Reports are a great tool, these tools are more limited than other portions of Botify and have limited amounts of data charts that I can add, which can cause me to have to create several custom reports for the same work track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An absolutely indispensable SEO tool for content marketers needing deeper insights and big data sets"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

The best thing about Botify is how easy it is to use; I've used other crawl analyzers before (Screaming Frog), but Botify is clear, simple to use and yet powerful! The variety of different analysis functions it offers is more than I need as a content editor, so it's a great tool for use across functions and disciplines across the business. We have a technical SEO team who use Botify to alert them of potential problems with our website, and I use it to get large swathes of information, such as which of our 7500 blog posts have been correctly tagged with a translation tag via hreflang, or where SEO titles are not optimized for the target keyword, for example.

What do you dislike about Botify?

The only thing I haven't worked out how to do (yet!), and this might be on me, is to save a set of filters or columns as a custom report that I can come back to time and time again. I am sure there is a way to do this; I just haven't worked it out yet. If I had one criticism, it would be that this tool can do so much; it can sometimes be challenging to drill down to find what you're looking for quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must for Technical SEO on Large Websites!"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

Without Botify I simply would not be able to accurately crawl the pages of the website I work on (tens of millions of pages). It makes identifying areas for improvement and tracking the impact of doing so an absolute doddle, and the team are excellent at going above and beyond to help out further! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

I can't really think of any downsides. Perhaps the on-page and KW research elements could be made stronger, but that's not what I wanted from the tool anyway, so not having it wasn't a loss at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent product with outstanding support."
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

It gives me the data I need to plan and execute complex technical SEO issues, optimize crawl budget, and more. The support is second to none out of any SEO platform I've used, with a dedicated team always ready to help dig into the newest problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

Price is prohibitive to use on smaller teams, which may make it harder to onboard. There is a learning curve to the platform, but once you get it concepts tend to carry over to most sections of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent platform and access to endless insights"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

The platform is easy to use, and with some familiarisation, it's easy to extract important insights. Without Botify, we would be missing critical information, which would affect our SEO. The support team is so knowledgable; working with them greatly benefits us and improves the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

There are no downsides of using Botify - it's an excellent tool for all websites. I would prefer to have full access to all the historical crawls for a longer period, or at least be able to recall them if needed on an ad-hoc basis. However, there is an option for this on a different package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Handy tool for enterprise scale monitoring"
4/5
What do you like best about Botify?

Helpful alerts and insights into how search engines access (or not) a website at scale. The additional log-file analyser tool is also super handy, with the ability to automate log-file feeds into the platform for analysis saves hours! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

The tool itself is great, however the promised support and assistance from the team is minimal. We've found the SEO insights offered in QBRs are really only fit for smaller businesses and don't meet the mark for an enterprise level operation. When proactively reached out to however, they're lovely and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Botify is a big help for big sites"
4/5
What do you like best about Botify?

Getting a clear picture of the SEO health and opportunities of a large website is critical. Botify is one of the only tools on the market that provides those insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

It can take a lot of practice to get comfortable navigating Botify - both the language they use (and sometimes change) and the actual layers of the tool. More easily accessed definitions across the tool would be a huge help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed, efficient, and effective"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

I like how direct the data is presented. Once you get familiar with the queries and filters available, the data is presented clear, concise, and easily exportable for future review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

With all the data available and a robust interface, it can be overwhelming for a new user to learn on the fly. However, our organization has strong users who have shared a tremendous amount of knowledge to help us get the most out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Tool for a Technical SEO"
5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

Best for crawling gigantic sites, and it has a great way of reporting by using its large amount of filters and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

Data processing sometimes are slow. But I got to mention that they improve a lot. Not a big issue now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible SEO Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Botify?

The best parts of Botify for my use are the Keywords Explorer features. This allows me to get a granular breakdown of the top performing search keywords that my site matches on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Botify?

Although the Botify API is great for integrating into our systems, it does have some shortcomings. The documentation isn't as thorough as it could be (especially around dimensions & metrics), and the rate limits aren't completely accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
