Missing data at night in EU
First off, the person I spoke to from the Technical team was very friendly, and kept the communication going ... hence the two stars. That's about it though... For a service costing at least $100/month (cheaper plans might as well not be available as they're unusable) you'd expect it to run more or less consistently over time. I'm in France and as of 7PM data starts missing more and more in the Xray Chrome extension results. The technical team seems to not grasp the problem even though I sent back detailed tests on several computers. Tested it once again after my holidays ... last night at 7:55PM the country, reviews and ratings columns returned n/a on almost all of the first page of results (both on the Amazon page and in the Xray popup window) and this morning at 9:45AM almost all the data is present. Either all the listings were updated in the middle of the night or the H10 software doesn't dish it out after a certain time. Consistent data is a necessity in statistics, if that's missing the analysis is not reliable. When the consistency is in the error and not in the data you can start questioning the validity of the rest of the data. Maybe their servers can't handle the load or maybe it's their software, either way the technical team pushed to resolve it fast ... not to resolve it well ... it's not resolved and I'm wondering if others have the same problem. I gave up on trying to contact them and am considering having a go at Jungle Scout to see if they are more stable, even if some tools are missing. UPDATE: looks like it's not a connection issue ... I thought of extracting the same products on both the US and French marketplaces in the evening and imagine that, the US data is fine at night but the french isn't. I can imagine you have priorities for US requests but that means the software is unusable elsewhere when the US is using H10. Pricey for limited use software, hence dropped the eval to 1*
