  "Why should we pay for extracting data ?"

  by s1404s on July 22, 2008

  Cons: Too expensive when there are free powerful and easy-to-use data extraction such as OutWit Hub. indeed, it is a new Web collection engine fitting in a free Firefox extension.

  "Makes extracting data from various websites easy"

  by nlack on October 1, 2009

  Pros: Not sure what the first guy was smoking. OutWitHub sucks and is absultely impossible to navigate without an advance degree. Additionally, it is so limited as to be a waste of time. Clearly he was pushing that product.

  Cons: I tried the trial and was limited to 150 extractions at a time. As I needed over 2000 extractions (over 18 similarly formated web pages), I purchased the full product for $129. In one step I did what would have taken days to do. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

  Summary: I needed a way to extract ALL of the IRS forms and publications links for use in my website http://www.Forms.com. With a little help from a 3 minute video, I was able to take 18+ web pages with 200 items per page and have the appropriate data extrac... read more >>

  "Very good! Worth the money."

  by dulouz11 on August 8, 2009

  Pros: Works very well for regularly formatted data. The product worked well for me. I have evaluated about ten similar programs. This was the cheapest and most robust.

  Cons: I can't program between extracting columns until the scrape is over. This results in me downloading more than I need too.

  Summary: I liked this program because I could do the application work myself without hiring a programmer to tweak the program after I needed a small change. Some programs cost in the $1000 range, other offered a strange set of abilities that I had no use f... read more >>

  "One of the best for sure"

  by mich029 on June 10, 2009

  Pros: * Easy to use GUI
  * Fast & Reliable (can set multiple instances to run similtaneously)
  * Advanced features such as being able to set time between hits, only index data from pages including "blah", dont follow links that include "blah" etc..

  Cons: * Accuracy of visual form /GUI being able to pick up the correct elemtents could be better
  * Uses a machine-gun spray style approach rather than a structured follow specific links approach which suits some sites but not others.

  Summary: Overall I found this to be an excellent , easy to use product and well worth the low asking price when others out there are charging many hundereds of $$ and are really no better.
