Visualping Reviews & Product Details

Visualping allows you to create scrapers to detect changes on public web pages. It runs them for you in a SaaS model with up to 5 pages for free, and emails you to review the changes it detects. It supports both text and image changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The email notifications do not deep link to the change shown in the email, but to the most recent scraping run. If you fall behind in reviewing them, you can struggle to match which run visible in the product is the one you're trying to find referenced in the email.

The scraper has trouble distinguishing between floating components (ads, accept cookie banners, etc.) and the page content which can lead to some false alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall extremely easy product to use with easy setup process. We've been using the product for competitive intelligence reporting for a variety of products from a competing company and it's worked well to give us updates on certain products. Feature set is pretty solid and provides reasonable flexibility. We've basically integrated it into our competitive research process using email notifications. We're currently getting weekly notifications from the product, but will probably back down to a lower frequency as we're finding the tool does pick up on more site changes than expected. We haven't had a reason to contact customer support thus far, which I think is a pretty good testamant to the ease of use for the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The behavior of the tool when dealing with interactive site elements does leave some to be desired. We were trying to interact with an accordion on a competitor site and wanted to look for change in a specific element insude that accordion, but the tool didn't have the flexibility to do that so we used a workaround. It still functions fine for our uses, but in the long run we may build a custom scraping bot for that specific competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great user interface and easy to use and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Website errors when tracking a page giving fales alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is by far my favorite thing. I have tried multiple different websites that claim to do the same thing and they just aren't the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don't like is how much is behind the paywall, but compared to other sites they give you the most features for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can "set it and forget it". Sometimes is has false alerts but I believe that is because of the website I am monitoring not being up 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could get more than one daily update on the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visualping is easy to use and has many ways of implementing CI and website tracking and integrating reporting into your current into your current workflows. Customer support is responsive and it's something I'm continually finding more frequent uses for. I've been able to sunset dozens of manual scripts through the use of their tools.
