I use Bright Data for complex web scraping, which helps us prepare for conferences by tracking and comparing competitor data. It enables effective automation, accessing data on a large scale, and supports different geographical data needs, enhancing growth strategy and saving time. I appreciate its low error rate, trend awareness, and its ease of use for non-technical users. The pricing, functionality, and error management are satisfactory, and I’m pleased compared to other solutions. I rate it a 10 out of 10 for recommendation.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I really like that Bright Data has a much lower error rate compared to other solutions available. They keep up with trends well by developing new features like MCP, which seems promising. Their AI functionality is really helpful for building automations and they make it easy for non-techy people like me to get into web scraping easier. It’s great that they've lowered the barrier for using their service. The price is also at a good level, which I appreciate.

#### Cons

As long as the scraping error volumes are low and the price is affordable, it's totally fine to live with.

#### Reasons for choosing Bright Data

Lower error rate, higher stability, lower price, better user experience

Very positive, good account management and the uptime and configuration of the service is very good. They have plenty of different but related services on offer too such as the Web unblocker.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

I really like the flexibility of the proxy credentials allowing me to specific configuration options as part of the username, makes it easy to configure and reconfigure such as country or session id.

#### Cons

They're the premium end of the proxy market so not always the cheapest.

#### Reasons for choosing Bright Data

One was cheaper and the other was more successful for a very specific task.

### Poor Reliability and High Error Rates. DO NOT USE.

Bright data's web unlocker and proxy products claimed to unlock hard to scrape websites... in reality this was not the case as it had a very high failure rate and I was charged for unsuccessful queries.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

Nothing. Initially their web unlocker and proxy products worked great for our use case.... But over the course of a year their products have degraded rapidly, and now face high data fetching failure rates.

#### Cons

I found the documentation lacking in clear example use cases, which made setting up difficult. Despite using Bright Data to collect e-commerce data, I feel it fails in making the process easier. The scraping browser API, while promising in theory, does not perform well in practice. Over time, the product's performance has degraded significantly, leading to a high error rate. I am also frustrated by being charged for results that I did not receive back.

#### Reasons for choosing Bright Data

Bright data claimed to have a well running web unlocker product.

#### Reasons for switching to Bright Data

I orginally switched from scrapingbee + scrapingany after bright data claimed to have higher data fetching success rates. This ended up not being the case. The failure rate was very high and I was charged for queries that did not return real data (but instead blocked webpage popups).

### 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.

#### Reasons 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.

Our company is a startup. We need to regularly collect data, which often changes the conditions of its storage and access. We tried to create collectors ourselves to collect this data. It turned out to be inconvenient and expensive. Bright Data solves this problem for us. The situation with data and the need for it is constantly changing, you have to interact a lot with Bright Data support. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] helps us a lot and quickly resolves our issues.

#### Cons

For me, the user interface is quite complex. But [SENSITIVE CONTENT] support helps to sort it out.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons 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.
