The reconfigure/maintainence fee if you stop the crawlers ...

Efficient Data Extraction
Manual data extraction can be a labor intensive process. Using a service like Grepsr has been an excellent way to optimize my time on understanding what the data is telling me rather than programming my own scrapes to get this data. Grepsr has been an easy tool to work with supported by a strong and attentive team.
Avantages
Ease of use to submit a data request and the timely delivery of my returned data. In many cases, Grepsr has completed my deliverable faster than expected.
Inconvénients
There have been a few times of extraction errors such as duplicate values or incomplete data having been returned in the deliverable. However, once I've identified a possible issue, the Grepsr team is quick to resolve with follow up.
Great Product! Great Service!
Overall, I have been extremely pleased with Grepsr's product and service.
Avantages
The ease of use and customisations levels are excellent.
Inconvénients
One a few occasions the data needed to be re-processed due to inconsistency.
Super product for those who need to get data fast and easy
I struggled a lot with DataMiner and still can't manage using it. Grepsr literally saved me, It's simply intuitive and easy to use.
I had one page where data was taken not properly. After submitting information on to support they fixed that in one day. Such an amazing result even keeping in mind that I am not a paid, customer. Thanks a lot

Avantages
it's good.
Team is great
Appreciate the quick turn around
Inconvénients
1. It would be great to have web platform to see the status of all file and download from there. Email updates sometimes are repeated or sometimes go in spam
2. Can we have the functionality of running the software in live or like pull new posts every month, rather than running the entire query again?
Réponse de Grepsr
Hi Priyanka,
We really appreciate your taking the time to leave the review and suggestions.
We do have a web-based platform (app.grepsr.com) where users can preview & download their data, run on-demand, customize data delivery & crawl schedules, and much more.
We always look forward to hearing from our customers. We'll definitely take the suggestions for improvement on board and work towards making the app even better.
Thanks!

I think it could be a bit easier with the intake form and the time. Additionally if there are any mistakes in the data set, it often takes a few days to rectify.
Grepsr is incredibly helpful to help us gain insights faster
GREPSR has been essential for me to gain insights around how conversation are taking place throughout a wide variety of mediums. GREPSR helps me to understand any thing from the latest perception in shoe sneakers, to how patients are talking in a highly specific online medical forum.
Avantages
- Easy to use platform

- Data extraction arrives very quickly and helps us move faster
Inconvénients
- Mistakes happen in data extraction exercises; 20-40% of the time I need to get back to the GREPSR team
- Large time zones are great, because GREPSR team can work on our data extraction while our team is out of office, but when questions arise, our team needs to wait for their response
Good, easy to use
Avantages
It is easy to use, you get data quickly and they can scrape lots of different types of data sources with lots of metadata attached.
Inconvénients
There can be some weird characters in the posts, the format of the sheet can sometimes be off
Réponse de Grepsr
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for leaving a positive review.
We're delighted that you find our platform easy to use.
Regarding the weird characters, this is mainly a CSV issue, which is resolved when the data format is XLSX (Excel). We've made both formats available for your future requests.
Thanks!
Review of Grepsr Services

-quick turnaround on requests
-communicative and helpful management
-reasonable pricing model
-Flexible and cooperative in terms of refining product for business needs

Invaluable Service
Customer service has been great. They are very helpful getting the information you need.
Avantages
The Grespr service makes gathering and processing information extremely easy. Saves a lot of time and has helped build key data sets.
Inconvénients
At times the output comes out incorrectly or misses information.
Best value for data mining
Grepsr has saved me literally thousands of dollars and man hours by providing me with the raw data to build content in my map driven website.
Avantages
After working with a competitor, Grepsr is by far the best value for concierge data mining. Their customer service and turnaround is stellar. They work with you to customize the data in the format you need. I have already recommended them to other businesses.
Inconvénients
My only complaint is the invoices do not reflect the title of the scrape which makes it difficult to reconcile when there are many crawlers with the same pricing.
Making data accessible
Grepsr is an action or a tool that “grep” (for grab -> extract -> process) data.
Grepsr really is easy. Extracting data is a matter of explaining requirements. You can do this either through text or uploading a file (or snapshot) or using a browser addon. The user is encouraged to add as much detail as possible while specifying requirements. The Grepsr staff gets to work immediately after the request is submitted and promise to service your request within a single day.
The interface is clean and simple, with each tab corresponding to a particular system view including your projects and extractors.
Avantages
Simplifies a complex process and makes data accessible
Inconvénients
Tools to enhance data presentation would be nice
Vehicle Data
Grepsr supplied us with test data needed for our automotive lease application. We were able to pass proof of concept with this information
Avantages
Grepsr maintained the data collection integrity well over the course of the project
Inconvénients
user interface on the support site was a little clunky
Game Changing Enrichment
Customer service is second to none. Pricing is fantastic for SMB to enterprise.
Avantages
Truly enriching our datasets with otherwise unattainable data. Comparable costs to a previously highly manual set of processes.
Inconvénients
Previously it was not self service, they have since launched this feature.
Grepsr works well, reasonably priced
Avantages
Grepsr works well, reasonably priced. I used their custom build option and they've been sending me the data on a daily basis
Inconvénients
They quoted me a price and did charge extra later for something they missed during their initial quote
Very good!
Avantages
I think that this tool has really helped me over the past few months in my ability to perform my
Job well

I think that sometimes this platform could be developed in a different way to make it more easy to learn
Super useful tool! Always delivers with great results.
Avantages
The efficiency is unparalleled. Grepsr gets me the data I need in record time.
The support staff at Grepsr is great! Anytime there is an issue (which isn't often), they're always quick to respond.
Inconvénients
Very occasionally, there'll be a snag in the data in terms of it all not being there, or a file looking weird. However, the support staff is SO responsive that any issue I have gets resolved in no time!

Clean Deliverables, Good Service
Avantages
Got what I needed at a fair price. Customer service was clear and helpful. Deliverables were problem-free and prompt.
Inconvénients
I would love more opportunities to brainstorm approaches to data collection with Grepr team members.
I am a part of the UNESCO Chair reserach centre in Ireland: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] which has a foucs on using sport as a tool to achieve the Sustainable Devleopment Goals [SDGs]. My work within the research centre is to examine the opportunities and challenges for Multilateral Development Banks to invest in sport-based solutions to achieve the SDGs. I worked with Grepsr to undertake a one time extraction of data through web scraping for references made to sport, physical activity and other related keywords across four websites of MDBs; namely Asian Development Bank, The World Bank, The Inter-American Development Bank and the Islamic Development Bank. Grepsr scraped vast volumes of data over 65,000 Pdf documents and provided final files of scraped data in the format I desired. This data scraped by Grepsr will have a profound impact on my research. I will use this raw data to conduct further text analytics and identify patterns, trends and themes for investments in sport-based solutions. This data will form the founding blocks towards developing an intentional alternative source of funding for sport for devleopment initiatives that can potentially lead to healthier socities, better living conditions and improved educational outcomes.
