Choose software to organize his collection of email is not an easy task. Although many of these programs offer a trial version, it is not easy to be able to compare them: restrictions evaluation versions, reproducibility tests, opacity publishers ...
Based on this observation, we ourselves have conducted a comparative test on the software's most visible and / or well known to simplify your work. And you will see that the results are amazing...

tested softwares

The software that we chose to test are of two types:
  • Simple extractors, which can scan a page at a time (some include a browser to scan the pages as their visit); 
  • Extractors / walkers, which have the ability to boot from an address data and browse the web by finding the hyperlinks to the pages visited. 
These are software applications installed on your computer (desktop software) but one which is an online tool, accessible from your browser. The version tested is indicated and corresponds to the most recent version that we could find.

Untested software

Some software that we found could not be tested:
  • Contact Express from Matisoft: requires purchase of a license to test the scan of a site; 
  • Tarantula from EmailSmartz: works only in mode of keyword search (do not scan a site); 
  • Email Catcher & Sender from CZYSoft of which contains the malware Win32/Malum.QUY (fortunately discovered in time by the engine of our VET eTrust Antivirus). 
If you want us to test software on another and that we integrate in our results, let us know, we try to do so as soon as possible...

Test platform

For these tests are reproducible, quantifiable, and therefore unambiguous, we decided to perform on a platform "public" where you can even make your tests if you wish. Indeed, to perform these tests, we created a website that offers a dozen pages linked to them. Each of these pages has 10 email addresses which are "protected" in ways more or less developed that is frequently encountered on the web. This site, whose address is mwtest.websynaptics.com, is open ...

Of course, you can also back the results that we present here: we have tried to be as synthetic as possible.

Reproducibility

You want to perform testing on your own software? Nothing could be simpler: if the version of the software is operational, you just have to scan the site mwtest.websynaptics.com and observe its behavior in terms of the protocol very simple test that we identify in each sheet test. It is not even necessary that the evaluation version would save the mails collected for this to work ...
