Review on ProWebScraper by Bryan Ramirez
Great product. One of the best products I have used in years.
We have used other programs to try and scrape sites. This was by far the easiest to use and best overall. Easy to use interface and it does what it says it will do. You can even schedule scraping of the site if you want. Will also allow you to pull the data you need without leaving the page you are on. If you want a free scraper built and installed, they will build one for you. That alone makes it worth the money. My only suggestion would be more information or training on how to use this program as it isn't very user friendly at all. If there were an FAQ or something along those lines, then I wouldn't mind paying again for another year subscription because now i'm sure my account won't expire.
Pros
- Easily integrates with your Excel workbooks so you can do the scrapes within Excel
- Allows scheduling to make sure you are doing your job when you should be doing it
Cons
- It doesn't show the most recent data being pulled so if you miss out a day of data you don't know until you look at the report
- After an hour of waiting for it to start I got impatient and shut it down and restarted it and now it works like a charm
- I emailed their help desk twice and never heard back.
