Visualping Reviews & Product Details

The best thing is the powerful difference detection, it can spot changes in text or appearance of the targeted website. You don't have to get into any coding to identify what specific thing to monitor, it can just watch the whole page for text changes, or if you're doing visual monitoring, you can drag a box to select an area of interest.

The AI-generated summary of changes that they recently added to the email notifications is also very handy so you can instantly get a sense of whether there was a meaningful change or just a small tweak to the site that can be disregarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface to set up monitoring jobs is just a little bit unclear sometimes what each function does, and it can be slow when it initially scans/loads a page. Also it is not smart enough to disregard a visual change when it is caused simply by the site adding a banner at the top that pushes the other content down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visualping has allowed us to maintain a small team size while still monitoring thousands of pages that can be updated at any time. Adding new pages for monitoring is easy, and we receive updates that are relevant to our services every day. There is minimal setup time and effort required, and we've made excellent use of their system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the nature of our industry, false positives are common, though that is inextricable from the fact that if a single character on a page changes we need to review and ensure it isn't relevant to our services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just tried their AI Summarizer feature and it's an amazing time saver so I am updating this review.

"Sumarizer" gives a short 2-3 lines summary of the change that occurred which makes it very easy and fast to understand what changed. My customer support representative told me I could upgrade to "Analzyzer" so that the AI can tell me whether the change is important or not. I haven't tried yet as there is an upcharge and a $500 one time set up fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They should have a more generous free plan. 5 pages a day is not enough if you are on budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, great value, and above all - useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing to dislike about the tool - obviously, I'd love it to be cheaper, but it's not unreasonably expensive to start with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it makes it easy to stay up to date with webpage changes without needing to check every day. I have three kids and multiple businesses so I am not going to remember to check sites every day, but the email notifications get my attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, it's perfect. I only wish I knew about it earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to automate and see changes on pages. No programming required including entering information on forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes some trial-and-error to figure how to set it up properly. 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.

I was looking for a tool that would allow me to receive updates when local institutional websites update their news section. They don't usually have rss feed or stuff like that so, after a quick search, i stumbled across Visualping. Having used it for several months, I can confidently endorse its effectiveness and ease of use: the ability to specify the frequency of monitoring checks, the definition of specific areas of the website to be monitored, the ability to define custom notification templates and the integration with email and other communication platforms are the key features that i loved and the reason why i keep using it.

Overall, Visualping has proven to be a reliable and efficient website monitoring solution, effectively detecting and alerting almost in real time any change of the monitored website. Also, Its visual monitoring approach make it really user friendly and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular, it has all the features i needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once it's set up, it does the work for you. Freeing up time for more productive work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the free version, I have to periodically login to the site to confirm I am still using it. Which given that I am a free user, is justified in ensuring that their system is not clogged up with queries that are not being utilised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
