The Dexi Digital Commerce Intelligence Suite, now with the capabilities of the former Mozenda web scraping tool and service, can build product data feeds to push to various marketing channels such as Google Shopping, Doubleclick, search, email, retargeting, and affiliates. The smart part is the ability to apply competitor analysis directly within the feed, to ensure that the user's campaign strategy is both more insightful and dynamic.
Mozenda became a dexi brand since the June 2020 merger, and…

Import.io is a website data importing or web scraping service, from the company of the same name headquartered in Saratoga. In February 2019 Import.io acquired Connnotate, another web scraping service. Connotate is now part of Import.io.
To date, we've had a lot of success collecting the information we require with Mozenda. I haven't encountered a specific example where Mozenda isn't a good fit. In fact, it was using another builder that had some pretty significant limitations that sent me looking for something like Mozenda. While Mozenda is several times more expensive than the previous tool, the return on our investment was almost immediate (less than one month). Definitely worth it!
Import.io excels greatly at being able to execute a scraping campaign for your needs within only a few minutes. It is appropriate if you need to be able to scrape data of a large or small scale on a daily basis. Once you've created a scraping crawler you can just execute it and come back after lunch to enjoy your data without second guessing the accuracy of it.
Action Items. Mozenda is broken down into a series of actions that can be performed on a page. Some actions take you to other pages. The action list, while short, provides a comprehensive set of tools for scraping just about any website (I haven't met one where it didn't work yet).
Error Handling. I've used some scraping tools that have virtually no error handling. Mozenda has great error handling; the software almost always pinpoints the exact action where the agent failed and why.
Speed. Mozenda is very fast at obtaining results. Other "bot" software can be slow and cumbersome but Mozenda plows through pages rapidly and accurately aggregates information.
XPath compatibility. One of the most powerful features of Mozenda is the integrated ability to use XPaths to get at the exact bits of information we're after on a particular website. Access to visible information is only limited by imagination.
I do not think I would have the budget to use it currently. When using it previously, was working with the developers to improve the product and was given accounts at no cost
The Mozenda platform is a better solution for our needs than any other platform that we have tested. There are a few others that are not being recognized by Trust Radius, but even with those Mozenda offers a superior usability, customization, and pricing structure for what our organization is trying to accomplish.
Import.io excels at creating a scraping campaign tailored to your needs in a matter of minutes. It's ideal if you need to scrape data on a regular basis, whether on a large or small scale.

We lost time firstly because we were not able to use the tool as it was promised. The tool does NOT allow users to get data without coding or training.
Their SAAS business model resulted in a gross over-payment. What should have been a one-off thing ended up being a two month subscription to a way too expensive service that did not deliver. It was almost impossible to get out of the contract.
