"Effective for initial use, costly for long term"
4/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

We needed an IP ban bypassing service to avoid the hassle of developing our own solution. Zyte proved to be incredibly useful for kickstarting our project, and we were able to integrate it into our system quickly.

One feature we particularly appreciated was the ability to test whether specific URLs worked before committing to a subscription. Additionally, the initial credit they offer was invaluable for our early testing phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

It was unable to bypass a few websites we intended to scrape, particularly those with regional restrictions in Canada.

We also encountered some blocking issues when sending large volumes of requests within a short timeframe. To address this, we ultimately had to implement our own rate-limiting mechanism.

Additionally, the service proved to be costly for our needs, as we required the ability to send a high volume of requests on a regular schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Web Scraping Tool with Room for Admin Panel Improvements"
5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

Zyte is an excellent and reliable tool for web scraping and data extraction. I primarily use it within Scrapy projects, where its integration is seamless and highly efficient. The implementation process is straightforward, making it easy to get started and productive quickly.

Customer support is another highlight—I've used their ticketing system, and it’s intuitive and effective, ensuring a smooth resolution of any issues.

I use Zyte monthly for tasks within my company, as well as for various side projects, and it consistently delivers outstanding results. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the platform and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a robust scraping solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

The admin panel could benefit from better organization, as navigating between personal and company configurations, as well as account and billing pages, can sometimes be confusing. Streamlining the interface and clearly distinguishing these sections would greatly enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplicity and flawlessness"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

Zyte has been a massive help for our organization whenever we needed to perform any scraping jobs. It is incredibly easy and intuitive to setup, and it does the job flawlessly. Zyte also allows us to use proxies, which allows us to scrape whatever data we need without fear of being blocked. We regularly run scraping jobs, and we will likely be using it for years to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

Zyte is overall fantastic, but I (and several of my colleagues) wish that the user interface was updated slightly and polished, as in certain places it gives off an unpolished look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and reliable web scraping platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

Zyte makes web scraping incredibly easy with its powerful APIs, high-quality data extraction, and reliable proxy rotation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

Occasionally, rate limits or usage caps interrupt workflows, and advanced customizations may require a deeper learning curve or coding experience. Some website-specific scraping issues also need manual tweaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great reliable service"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

We have been using Zyte's API and their deprecated Proxy Manager, it is a reliable service and it's pretty intuitive to use and monitor.

Their anti-ban technology as well the geolocalization is a great feature which allows our team to circumvent restrictions put in place by companies which offer API(s) without really supporting them.

Another point in favour of Zyte is related to their constant commitment, we have been their client ovr the past couple of years and we saw their evolution both in terms of service and customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

Their administration web UI is quite limited and seems to be something they'd need to take care of.

Monitoring could be improved, providing better logging system and better third party integrations such as webhooks to talk with services such as Slack.

Pricing is also another point which needs to be reviewed, their solution allows to "pre-pay" a user defined monthly amount, the problem is around credits not being carried month over month, we have been spending hundreds of dollars in unused credits until realising it.

Response from Julie Nevin of Zyte

"What you pay is what you get."
5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

The best part about zyte is the professionalism of the team and the quality of the product. I've used both proxies and zyte api. Even though zyte api is not for me since I enjoy the process of making scrapers of my own, it is a remarkable product. My primary use is for the proxies which is use in scrapy. Works every time. I reliably can scrape every website I want. In cases I had issues the support team came and consulted me what changes I should do to make scraping success rate even higher.The support team is always there to help and due to the nature of the company, they are technically inclined. So it is easier for a developer to communicate. You also get emails regarding the success rate of your requests weakly. This is great especially when I do not have time to check logs of some projects or I'm on vacation etc. great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

I feel like zyte needs an update regarding their documentation on how to use the proxies outside of scrapy. It would be better if the process was more streamline that the current implementation. When building a project you want to spend as much time as possible regarding the project and not how to connect the proxy so you can access the resource. Also a responsive design on the platform would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Julie Nevin of Zyte

We're glad to hear that you appreciate the professionalism of our team and the quality of our product. We understand your feedback about the our documentation , and we will take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

"High success rate"
5/5
What do you like best about Zyte?

The high success rate and the docuementation for developers is decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zyte?

Understanding pricing is confusing as Zyte API now differentiates between "tier" of website rather than pricing being based on total traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
