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.

Brightdata is a higher priced service but the best in class

PROS

Brightdata IP proxies have been excellent, and they charge a reasonable price for their great service. Their service is next level. Ask for [SENSITIVE CONTENT], he is the man.

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

The best residential proxy provider

PROS

BrightData is by far the best residential proxy provider out there. It's one of the only solutions that offers residential IPs that are not marked as "residential proxy" by IP Verification services. Our account manager, [sensitive content hidden] . has helped us a lot setting everything up.

CONS

The dashboard could be improved to show the data better.

Easy to use Proxy Zones for Google and Website Scraping

So far it is the best proxy providers we have and we've been using BrightData for more than 2 years.

PROS

I like the proxy manager the most. I am using this in setting up ports for our google scraping solution.

CONS

I can't think of anything. We have had issues with DataCenter before due to incorrect geo-targetting but it was resolved pretty fast.

Great service for building a wonderful business on!

PROS

For us at changedetection.io , we found the customer support to be EXCELLENT, their services are solid, but when you're building a business you really need a good relationship with your provider, because there's always questions and things to resolve, ways to work better together etc.

CONS

I wish residential proxy prices was lower, but they're on average similar to other providers, so it's no big problem

Very competitive, powerful and flexible proxy tool

You need to pass throw several layers of security to verify your identity and how do you intent to use the service, which is of the benefit of all, for the common good, in order to avoid your service interrupted by the fraudulent usage of other clients, but once your account is good to go, and your account manager (super reliable) helps you to find the correct tools for your needs, it is really straight forward, and super efficient.

PROS

- The simplicity, but at the same time how flexible and powerful is. - The collection of products that adjusts very well to any need and budget. - How you can, with the proper tool, configuration and extra costs, use private connections or reserve the traffic to some specific domains, so that you don't get banned by rate limits, as you generally if/when you share IPs. - The latency is not bad, and the proxies barely fails. - Even when you setup the dynamic ips option, you can still open a session to re-use the same IPs. - The support is awesome: personalised, fast and efficient.

CONS

- There are proxy errors time to time (at least in the residential), which does not make it pixel perfect, but I have also to say that this error rate is pretty low, in comparison with other proxies provider.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

There are also other proxies services more expensive than Luminati, but they had the most appropriate quality/price for our needs and budget.

Reasons for switching to Bright Data

We tried other (cheaper) proxies services, but the error rate, or the number of proxies down, was way to high, and when it was working, the latency was painful.

Good proxies most of the time

We only use proxies (Residential and Static ones). The rest of the work is in our side.

PROS

The product is easy to use and very configurable. There is a good support which is very important for us. We had a good help on our last issue from [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. And also when we had others in the past.

CONS

Sometimes proxies are not working as expected, specially Residential ones. There are days where they are anyway blocked for some companies like Incapsula, Cloudflare, PerimeterX and others. After raising a ticket or receiving an email from you guys that there will be some maintenance, the problem is fixed.

Reason for choosing Bright Data

We use all, InstantProxy, StormProxy, HighProxies, LimeProxy and Brigh Data. If Bright Data would work 100% fine all the time, we could just use Bright Data

My overall experince with them is 10/10. I just faced a little problem while accessing some things in software and from my account manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to support team person [SENSITIVE CONTENT] they professionally handled my problem and solved it in less then my expecting time.

PROS

CONS

I can say they can make it more user friendly so a normal person can use it easily like API stuffs etc.

Minha Experiência com a Bright Data

PROS

Seus produtos têm sido fundamentais para o sucesso e crescimento da nossa empresa, e a facilidade de uso da plataforma foi um grande diferencial para nós. Um dos aspectos que mais me impressionou foi o excelente suporte prestado pela equipe da Bright Data. Sempre que enfrentamos desafios ou tivemos dúvidas, eles foram ágeis em responder e fornecer soluções eficientes.

CONS

Um aspecto que identifiquei como uma oportunidade de melhoria está relacionado à resolução de captchas, especialmente os tipos V3 e HCaptcha. Observei que esses captchas não foram solucionados de acordo com o esperado, o que acabou sendo um impedimento para algumas das nossas atividades de coleta de dados.
