Publisher's Description
Mozenda was started to help users make sense of that unstructured data. We felt that, by allowing users to determine what information they need from a website and how that information should be structured, the data on the Internet would be infinitely more useful to businesses. Our product consists of a desktop application that is used to build web data-extracting agents and a web application that is used to access extracted data.

Mozenda has come a long way since the last review. It uses IE as the browser in the desktop software so that adds some problems, but the support is excellent and helps out with most of these problems. I like how easy it is to use, and you don't have to be a programmer to use it. (They have great hidden features for programmers though like Regex and Xpaths that make it easier to use on badly written websites) Love it. I use it almost everyday with work, It's a great deal for any small business or even a large one. I would tell the company to make some feature to allow desktop scraping instead of just in the cloud.

This review is to let others know about the type of service and software the company “Mozenda” is offering their customers. This is an extremely problematic software. Mozenda acknowledges the bugs when you call in but they do nothing to compensate the time lost and time invested using their software. My company has lost over $2000.00 in trying to use this software. From agents that do not scrape properly to their servers crashing due to the way a “agent” is setup on their system. This software would be extremely successful if they would take the time to listen to the customers’ and work out the bugs with their software. When you use this software they allow you a certain amount of web pages to scrape. The problem is whether the page is scraped successfully or not they will remove the amount of pages that were scraped from your account. My company does not understand how you can charge people for a software that has so many problems and then not tend to the customer’s problems when you call their support team. This is absolutely the worst type of customer support I have encountered and by far the worst software I have used to gather data from other sites. The only person I would recommend this software to is another programmer so he can fix it!
