It is very easy to use as a web crawler even though you don’t have any experience on website scraping before. It can do a lot for you. Octoparse has enabled me to ingest a large number of data point and focus my time on statistical analysis versus data collection. It has saved me some much time with automated web crawling! Same jobs would take me hours before and now data is collected in few minutes! When I need a quick way to crawl structured web data, Octoparse will be my first choice.

Octoparse is an extremely powerful web crawling tool that has optimized and pushed our data scraping efforts to the next level. I would recommend this cloud-based service to anyone. The price for the value provides a large return on the investment. For the free version, which works great, you can run at least 10 crawlers at a time. However, these crawlers are ran simultaneously in the background of the computer application. In my opinion buying any of the plans that allow you to use the cloud interface is very helpful and provides a good bit of flexibility. You can close out of the application and know that Octoparse is running on a server somewhere.
