We are users since more than one decade and QL2 is the most simple and powerful tool we are using. Even when we needed support the answer was fast and precise solving our more complex needs. We love that there are still a lot of options availaible we are not using now, but we think make this software useful for another decade at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a relatively low cost solution with big impact for our company as the resources required to simply collect the data are beyond the scope of what we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about QL2? Lack of documentation around what specific keyword need to be entered into the "Reference" Input to access different types of information from the searches. Some sort of outline or dictionary would be useful to have, as this would remove the need to raise a ticket every time we do not understand why our search is not working due to having the wrong keywords.

It is very powerful and customizable. With a good understanding of regular expressions and basic coding/SQL, it is possible to construct scripts that pull and normalize content from a very wide variety of sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about QL2? It is not very good at handling some more complex and modern websites that use AJAX, ASPX or a complex front-end UI wrapper. Integration with AWS could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Helpful?

Most of the time QL2 listens and thinks of finding quick solutions to the customers problems and challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about QL2? QL2 has technical scaling challenges and a challenge with circumfenting the latest blocking technologies. As a customer, it looks like the product iterations and improvements have been slow to absent. The UI has been due to be renewed for over 2 years. In terms of monitoring the output data (quality) and alerting the customer there are barely any features in place, this means as a customer you're always chasing the latest bug. For users to trust the product they need to see more metrices, more monitoring and quick repairs. It is economically expensive and tiring for a customer to be doing data checks all the time. It lacks an efficient way to then follow up on these issues, because as customer you are always chasing the support desk. With the lack of an interface here, you end up going through lists of e-mail history & communication, which makes it hard to track issues & their progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Sumit Rana of QL2 Jun 08, 2023 Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your recognition of our efforts to address customer challenges. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by technical scaling issues and slow product iterations. We are actively working to improve our interface, monitoring capabilities, and customer support.

QL2 responds quickly to requests about changes in scripts and websites. Scripts are being developed in a good amount of time. Overall QL2 is a reliable partner when it comes to delivering data and ticket support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about QL2? Sometimes there is no notification when websites stop delivering data. This should be ensured for every script outage in combination with a direct ticket that is opened to get this problem resolved as quick as possible. A data quality mointoring would be helpful.

You can perform a request for any airline available at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about QL2? The scripts fail every time you need them. It takes weeks, sometimes months to be fixed, so it's impossible to plan when to deliver the results if a request. They have a very poor support and customer service. Additionally, we send many (many, many, many) emails to our point of contact to ask for help and she never replies us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their service used to be incredible. Bugs were resolved almost straight away. In recent times this has slipped to sometimes unresolved, generally weeks, then the fix doesn't always work.

Nothing. Company is so pathetic , even seniors are worse then your foe . They don't treat you like your junior they treat you just like you are their slave and behave like they are the owners of the company. they don't care if a person is sick they circulate rumours and make a fun of that person who take sick leaves .

Dislikes

Everything from top to bottom . Training period is pathetic . I was working as an application developer but suddenly after some time , they told me they want neend me ,and I was laid off due to silly reason . One thing I am sure of management are only trying to maintain their monopoly.

The company provides good compensation and benefits. Teammates are very good in nature. Work is good.

Dislikes

Lot of things to dislike. Company culture is quite not good. Just work and work. Training is the worst. Even I like the work I was doing but no thoughts about productivity of myself/work. People will not help you if you stuck in some area of your work. They will come to help you after weeks. Appraisals are very less likely to happen

Work Details

Generally speaking, my work is very challenging as I have to look to a whole large scenerio where I have the knowledge of small scenarios only. But I stayed calm and done the searches on Internet, got help from colleagues and able to do my work
