Consumer's opinions and sentiments on products can reflect the performance of products in general or in various aspects. Analyzing these data is becoming feasible, considering the availability of immense data and the power of natural language processing. However, retailers have not taken full advantage of online comments. This work is dedicated to a solution for automatically analyzing and summarizing these valuable data at both product and category levels. In this research, a system was developed to retrieve and analyze extensive data from public online resources. A parallel framework was created to make this system extensible and efficient. In this framework, a star topological network was adopted in which each computing unit was assigned to retrieve a fraction of data and to assess sentiment. Finally, the preprocessed data were collected and summarized by the central machine which generates the final result that can be rendered through a web interface. The system was designed to have sound performance, robustness, manageability, extensibility, and accuracy.
