High quality proxies with flexible pricing

We are very pleased of using Data Center IPs for web data extraction. These data is used for competitors analysis of our clients websites.

PROS

High usage control, pricing flexibility, strong API, goal orientation of proxies, high success rate. Big proxy pool gives a possibility to work on high load.

CONS

You should explore the product very well to use it effectively. Correct settings and implementations can take weeks to make everything work properly. Otherwise you may fall into unexpected over-spendings.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

Highest quality by reasonable price, high usage control.

Reasons for switching to Bright Data

We were looking for a non-russian high quality stable proxy service.

Luminati : Only good choice for business level scraping solution.

Based on multiple factors we picked You as provider for relatively small ammount of traffic , as time went and our application was increasing in traffic we were met with requirement to move to higher tier proxy. Situation we were in was critical , we had no option to afford higher tier service and lower tier service wasnt functional for our request rate. In that moment of desperation I reached to Your support and I explained that we need higher tier service for lower price to maintain our own pricing for client and ensure stability. That moment was dire because it was basically do or die situation but to my relief Your agent was able to give us favourable pricing which gave us option to expand our operation multiple times within last 2 years. We moved from traffic for around 2GB to estimated 2TB which we will run though unblocker from January , our traffic is constantly rising 5%-10% monthly and our clients are satisfied and sometimes suprised with data speed and quality. From that point I had option to talk with multiple people from Luminati namingly [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. All of them always provided support and guidance for us for all our requirements and new features which were implemented relatively fast. Within all these years we are working together Luminati became founding stone and symbol of stability and good interbusiness relations. I would like to thank You for You service , for sleepless nights spent by breaching antiscraping protection for Amazon and for Your

PROS

Luminati is stable service with in average 94.6% succes rate. They had solution to almost any problem or issue we had and also customer support is one of best i have ever seen. They do not care if you are spending 20$ or 2000$ ( we started there :-) ) and You are recieving equal level of support. Also they have that cool stuff called LPM which is app You can use to debug requests and overally provide more controll about Your traffic

CONS

They are so good that multiple websites ( amazon , ebay etc... ) are writing antiscraping protection exlusively against them so 2-3 times a year service is down for few days. But they are always working hard to get it back online.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

Luminati won our hearths and minds by their awesome support and quality. Also they are doing internal resarch and constantly bringing up new features like LPM.

Reasons for switching to Bright Data

Our old provider was not able to meet quality requirements. We had VERY long timeouts and also constantly getting 502/503 from target websites.

Supporting Startups

Very good - we had some minor (and expected) issues re timezones but Luminati soon fixed the challenge. As an early stage start up with little money and tight deadlines we have been very pleased with the team.

PROS

The system has been clear and easy to use. The team have been very accommodating and helpful given that we are an early stage start-up on a strict budget.

CONS

Dislike nothing about the software so far.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

We had terms etc agreed with DataHut - but when It came to needing to get cracking with our project, we didn't hear back from DataHut until we had already set up with Luminati.

Reasons for switching to Bright Data

DataHut were not as responsive when we needed to get started.

PROS

CONS

I did have some problems just getting started but it worked out since they have a very intuitive platform.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

Brightdata excelled in the service, and made me feel comfortable making a large investment.

Reasons for switching to Bright Data

Brightdata was able to solve all my needs and Phantombuster was not.
