When it just works
It makes me work really fast but still secure for my clients. I look really professional even though what I did was only suggesting and installing Crawlera. It's awesome!
Relatively Easy To Use
Our company, whatoplay.com, aggregates data from multiple sources around the world. Since we started using Crawlera, we haven't really encountered big issues. Our common ones in the last 6 months is just reaching our limit, so we just had to increase our plan.
K-LIX
I have a good experience with scrappinhumb, in a matter of minutes I can develop and publish a new spider.
Why do you need that title?
I use and recommend that platform for years for my customers which need production-ready enterprise-grade data scraping systems.
Simple, reliable and powerful service
Never had a problem, and customer services always replied to our requests promptly, and with attention to detail.

When it just works
Pros
It really saves my time as a web scraping specialists. I always need rotated proxies for my client needs. I keep creating a new project and it is a lot of hassle of I have to buy proxies, renew proxies, and create proxy rotation on my own. I am glad I don't even need to think about it. It just works!
Cons
Well, it's just doesn't have enough advanced documentation on Scrapy Splash combined with Crawlera. Their development team in Github is very responsive though.

Pros
We're only using Crawlera for our data scraping needs and it has worked seamlessly since we started using it in 2016. When we had to upgrade to a higher limit, the transition was fast, and no dev time was wasted updating our existing codebase.
Cons
Pricing can be a bit tricky especially if your need is right in between the plans.

We are very happy with Crawlera. It works like a charm with our Scrapy projects, just adding a few lines of code we completely forgot about proxies that ended up failing anyway.
Cons
Some requests end up being very slow, but good news is most of them end up going through.
