The recent updates have made Octoparse faster and more stable. Data extraction now runs more smoothly with fewer errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoparse can improve its AI assistant, as it often doesn’t work as expected and struggles with more complex tasks. I also experience cloud extraction issues from time to time, and the overall performance can feel slow during large-scale scraping. Improving reliability and speed would make the tool much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is how flexible and adaptable Octoparse is. I’m a creative producer, and the kinds of info I need to collect change constantly - sometimes it’s contact lists, sometimes niche content references, and sometimes market research across totally different industries. Octoparse handles all of it surprisingly well

Before this I honestly avoided web scraping because I couldn’t find a solution that didn’t require technical skills or coding. But Octoparse made it feel doable. The interface is clear, and most things can be set up visually without any background in programming. I don’t use it on a daily basis, but I’m increasingly finding use cases where Octoparse can be really helpful in my work

I also love that I can export everything directly into Google Sheets, it fits into the way I already organize my research. Cloud mode is another huge bonus - I can run tasks in the background while working on other things without worrying about leaving my computer on all night

Overall, it’s taken a lot of chaotic manual work and turned it into something structured and repeatable. Also great respect for the Support Team, which is extremely fast and super helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far, honestly. For a tool with this many features it’s surprisingly smooth to use. There’s a bit to explore at first, but it all makes sense once you get into it. I haven’t run into any blockers for now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Octoparse is that it allows automating data extraction from websites without the need for programming. Its visual interface is very intuitive and greatly reduces the time I used to spend on manual tasks. Additionally, the preconfigured templates for popular websites, the IP rotation system, and the ability to schedule tasks in the cloud make it a very comprehensive solution. I have also integrated it with Google Sheets to generate dashboards in Power BI, and it has worked perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning, setting up workflows with dynamic elements can be somewhat confusing, especially if the website has many pop-ups or asynchronous loads. However, with a bit of practice and the help of your tutorials, one can learn quickly. I would like to see more artificial intelligence features to further facilitate predictive scraping.

What I like about the octoparse is they use the AI for automating the scraping process.

For example, if you want to retrieve the food review from a map application, it will try to retrieve the important parts like title, description, coordinates, and many more without human intervention. Octoparse will do it for you from the start to the end of the process. If the tool got problems for retrieving the element, you could retrieve them

And even, they have templates that you can use, so you don't need to click which elements you want to retrieve. Let Octoparse do the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the AI still need to improve, but hey you could retrieve the desired element without do the coding process. Just click the element on the Octoparse's built-in browser, and setup the other parameters without single line of code! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoparse is a very powerful tool for data extraction without the need for programming. Its visual interface makes it easy to configure tasks and automate scraping. Additionally, its support for multiple browsers and advanced options allow for great flexibility. The ability to run tasks in the cloud is very useful for large volumes of data.

Despite its potential, Octoparse has significant issues with cloud execution. Tasks sometimes do not extract any data, even when they are correctly configured and work well in local mode. The extraction limit seems to be capped at 40 results locally, and technical support could be quicker in responding to critical issues, especially for users on advanced plans. This affects the experience and efficiency of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoparse is very simple to use. I am a technical person but have no coding experience. Octoparse allowed me to do a job that would have taken me 20+ hours to scrape all the details off a website in order to create a catalog for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really, it took a little while to learn, but once I got the hang of it it was very easy to use and integrate implement into the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve tried so many scrapers but this one? Next level. It’s crazy fast super accurate and works flawlessly even on tricky websites. Seriously, I didn’t expect it to be THIS good.

But the real MVP is the customer support. I had a small issueand they helped me out faster than I could even refresh my inbox. Super friendly, super helpful, and they actually care about their users. You don’t see that often!

If you need a scraper that just works and a support team that’s got your back this is the one. 10/10 highly recommend guys! 🔥🔥🔥 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing i dislike, everything works perfectly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Octoparse is easy to use, even if you don’t know how to code. I can just click around and set up my task quickly. It also has ready-made templates for popular websites, which saves me a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven’t noticed anything I dislike. It’s been working well for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoparse stands out for its remarkably user-friendly interface that makes web scraping accessible to users of all technical levels. The straightforward point-and-click functionality eliminates coding requirements while still providing powerful data extraction capabilities. The well-designed templates and workflow make it quick to set up scrapers for various websites, saving significant time and effort in data collection projects.

The learning curve for some of the more advanced features could be slightly gentler. While basic scraping is very accessible, mastering conditional extraction and some of the more complex functions required additional time to fully understand. Occasionally experienced minor performance issues when running larger scraping tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using that tool for the past month for market studies and competitor analysis.

The initial set up of the tool is easy, but it seems that with enough time spent, you can set up more and more advanced task taylored to your need.

I have had a few hurdles in some of my tasks but their support has been very responsive and provided very valuable insight to make my task run more smoothly.

So far i've been using the tool mostly to scrap data on websites, scheduled task and did an automatic export into a dedicated database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a tech guy, and I wish that the explanation about the database export was a bit more explicit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
