Review on ScrapeStorm by John Swain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great tool at an affordable price point

I like that it's easy enough for beginners, yet powerful when you need more power or advanced features.

It doesn't have many options - which means some things are tricky if they're not well documented (e.g., text extraction with HTML). You'll probably want another product as your first one unless this particular feature set appeals strongly to what you do in Web development/data analytics workflows. We use scrapestorm primarily because of its simplicity compared to other products we've tried before; however, I think most people who try out scraptstorm will find themselves wanting just about everything else after using it so long!

Pros
  • Simplicity
  • Great support
  • Very helpful forums where answers from top users is often given quickly within minutes.
  • Easily configurable through command line
Cons
