Delegate a costly data collect task to professionals **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Quick to understand our need, quality data extraction. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Some issues are happening several times. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Zyte can handle specific content collection for us, we don't spend resource on keeping the job up and running, or checking daily that everything goes well. We can just delegate to Zyte ! ### 2. Clean user experience, oriented to business needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Zyte?** The easiness of use of the system, hability to customize solutions as we need **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Sometimes lacking of visibility on process and costs. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Zyte creates the tools that I need to gather the data I want. It facilitates and enables the whole process so most of our backbone is abstracted enough and we can focus on business rules. ### 3. Its Headless Proxy Tool handles our Smart Proxy Manager session by pacing up page loads & saves cost **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rithika G. | Cloud Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Zyte provisions Smart Proxy Manager which handles the responsibility of sending appropriate headers in a request. This is crucial as we shouldn't send any x-forwarded-for or other proxy-related headers since they would appear on the target websites. We also leverage its x-crawlera-profile for replication of real browser specifications & user agent dependencies. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Optimization in terms of concurrent crawler domain requests would give us more advantages to us while working with Zyte Smart Proxy Manager. Since multiple requests need to be processed parallelly, there are few limitations on the cumulative crawler domain requests. Under these situations, we have to manually lower the concurrency & if it can be automated then it would be useful for us. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had discrepancies in speed while using our own proxies. We shifted to Zyte Smart Proxy Manager to throttle our requests and avoid delays. In some use cases, we can also introduce delays for proper crawling of websites using its headless proxy tool. Its Dashboard offers plenty of insights for security overview, session details & request statestics based on our customization. For saving the capacity, we can go for its direct access feature which helps bypassing Crawlera during our requests execution. ### 4. Very good service when it works **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris B. | Supreme Commander, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** It gives me access to 80% more web content than any other proxy service I have used **What do you dislike about Zyte?** That the subscription is time based. Right now the service dashboard is showing incorrect downloads which mean I have to pause the service for 6 days while the glitch is sorted out. I lose 6 days of activity and my subscription is time based and clean requests based. I would like to pay for a certain amount of clean requests and use them as I see fit without the concern that I might run out of time and lost clean requests for that month. Does this make sense to anyone? **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Test and test again **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have access to public web content that was more difficult to get at before. **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about Crawlera, our proxy service. We're aware of the ongoing issues with the stats and we're actively working to fix it. We're not suspending anyone's access until we have the data issue sorted out. You will not be paying for requests you did not perform. ### 5. Great service to support our production needs. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ameen A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** We have been using scrapinghub for over a year for a production job and it has been very reliable and fits our needs. We also use crawlera for some scrapinghub jobs as well as multiple internal jobs. The documentation is great and the UI is informative and allows us to manage resources between applications and environments. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Nothing considerable. I was going to say notifications and alerts would be nice, but a quick search shows that there is a Monitoring AddOn for that. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easily crawling to get page content without having to manage the infrastructure or the IP rotation. ### 6. Excellent service for building web crawlers! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Saatvik R. | Data Engineer, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Scrapy is an absolute go-to for web scraping and scrapinghub does a phenomenal job of scaling your spiders and not worry about architecture. I could easily build our multiple spiders, deploy, monitor and develop in no time! **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Crawlera and splash could get more improvements around the easy of coding and implementing the scripts. **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Cut costs by easily building scalable web crawlers in-house **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to build a data harvesting infrastructure that can scale easily. Scrapinghub offers a one-stop-shop to deploy and forget about your spiders **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about Scrapy and our cloud solutions! ### 7. Great idea, poor performance **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** The speed, your team, the app, user experience, prices for spider initial set-up. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** The condition you send the data, after too many files we need to open a ticket for your team, then usually you change something. It doesn't make sense. If we found it why didn't you? if it's a request as a result of something on your end, why do we pay for it? (we have requests limitation, monthly yearly etc) **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Add conditions in your contract with regards to products satisfaction. Define what is exceptable for you, what not, and how to handle it. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use you to scrap websites, we analyse data. ### 8. Support is always great **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Loren M. | Proprietor, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** The best aspect of the service is the knowledgeable staff who are responsive and friendly. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** There aren't any major downsides to using the platform. **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Learn to adapt custom spiders for use with Scrapy Cloud to ease scaling your deployments as time goes on. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Crawlera isn't the silver bullet it once was, unfortunately. A sign of the times. Anti-scraping techniques are just getting better and better! **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about the service and our support staff. We’re working hard on improving Crawlera silver bullet-ness :), you can expect to see big performance increases next year, bear with us! Regarding your Scrapy Cloud recommendation: what language/product do you have your customer spiders built into? ### 9. Reports of the projects **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** the assistance of scrapinghub team (and I have no more comments into this subject of review. I know scrapinghub is a good extractor plattform, but as team manager so I miss quite tools to get reports of our projects) **What do you dislike about Zyte?** not being able to extract reports of the projects with the same info of the job (Spider used, Items extracted, Requests done, Errors, Log, Runtime, Started, Finished, and also the periodic jobs info). That would be very helpful to control de projects. **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** the same recommendations I've said above. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** works quite efficiency, and has flexible tools to customize the spider to our needs. **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about our support team, and for the feedback about Scrapy Cloud. We don't have an ETA for implementing this reporting functionality at the moment, unfortunately. ### 10. Daily professional use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adrien B. | CTO & co-founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Scalability, availability and support effectiveness **What do you dislike about Zyte?** web dashboard and stats api non stop problems **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scraping google at high speed **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about our service Adrien. The stats issue has been mitigated substantially, and we're looking to eradicate it completely by the end of next week. Please follow the incident to get updates as soon as possible: https://status.scrapinghub.com/incidents/xhk4kq9gthjl ### 11. I have been recommending ScrapingHub for quite a while **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Easy of use for Scrapy programmers (specially freelancers) and for users (their clients), free tier. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** I consistently get "Sorry, can't find that page" in every navigation through the app (even the home page app.scrapinghub.com). Please fix that! Find an easier way to keep key-value order. Customers need that a lot. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** To easily setup and obtain results for clients who will use our spiders for their businesses. They find it amazing that it requires no setup, and can get their results instantly. **Official Response from Zyte Marketing Team:** > Thanks for the nice words about Scrapy Cloud, our scalable platform for managing and running your web crawlers. We were not aware of that "Sorry, can't find that page" issue you're referring to, I am guessing you opened a support ticket about it? What do you refer to by "keeping key-value order"? Lastly, a question: do you invite your customers to run spiders directly on Scrapy Cloud, or run them on their behalf? ### 12. Semaless Data scraping experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Mostly the versatility, ability to selectively scale and ease of deployment **What do you dislike about Zyte?** I feel the compliance related to the scraped data is still a challenge and at times we'd to either delete the data or prune the data elements to remain legally pliable. **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Compliance has to be the focus and should sit right above the speed and volume. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Understanding consumer behaviour, market trends and next best thing analytics have been the primary areas of our focus. And it was all driven by data, fetched through multiple ways (flat files, third party paid data, web scraped information etc.) Scraping hub helped us fetch cleaner version of our focused data and saved a ton of time in the data preparation. ### 13. Track proxy use for Crawlera **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** The temporal charts were very useful to have an immediate idea of the use of proxies **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Since I used it through a third party I feel like the option were a bit limited, but perhaps it’s their fault and not scrapinghub itself **Recommendations to others considering Zyte:** Explore all the features, there are many useful ones **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to keep track of our use of proxies from a specific provider, it help us to quickly visualize our use so we can stay on budget ### 14. A great software **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adeola A. | Data Analyst, Hospital & Health Care, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Zyte?** Effective data extraction and help to identify duplicates **What do you dislike about Zyte?** Can not process heavy sets of data. Data from various sources. Big data **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data modeling ### 15. Great tool for web crawling **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Prashant G. | Senior Business Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Zyte?** I like this tool very much as it provides data very efficiently and effectively. Helps me to analyse the data for the business perspective. **What do you dislike about Zyte?** As this software is open source software then if something went wrong than we can't complaint to anyone. Otherwise this is a great tool for data and web crawling. **What problems is Zyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** As am working as a project manager it helps me a lot to Analyse the data. And also helps in the web crawling. ## Zyte Discussions - [How will I receive my data / What format?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-will-i-receive-my-data-what-format) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Do you support one-time data extraction?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/do-you-support-one-time-data-extraction) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Do you offer data samples before purchasing?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/do-you-offer-data-samples-before-purchasing) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can you provide the source code?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-you-provide-the-source-code) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What support do you offer?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-support-do-you-offer) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Zyte pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/zyte/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-26+23%3A05%3A48+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e366935d-8117-407a-83c2-6dbd0a3a85b2&secure%5Btoken%5D=6611b5d4a35b34f66c3efbd303d19bb53d935ee89c7e3981cdd6eea5dc1cd0e9&format=llm_user) ## Zyte Integrations - [AWS Lambda](https://www.g2.com/products/aws-lambda/reviews) - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) ## Zyte Features **Functionality** - Diverse Extraction Points - Data Structuring - Consolidation - Data Cleaning - Cloud Extraction **Proxies** - Datacenter Proxies - Static Proxies - Mobile Proxies **Data management** - Data repository - Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Data quality - Automation - Data structuring **Functionality** - Proxy Rotation - Server Locations - Traffic Limits - Data Collection **Functionality** - Customized Datasets - Customer support - Compliance - Plug-ins **Diverse Extraction Points** - Diverse Extraction Points **Administration** - Proxy Management - Proxy Routing - Dashboards & Reporting ## Top Zyte Alternatives - [Apify](https://www.g2.com/products/apify/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (549 reviews) - [Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)](https://www.g2.com/products/decodo-formerly-smartproxy/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (655 reviews) - [Bright Data](https://www.g2.com/products/bright-data/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (335 reviews)
