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.
Luminati : Only good choice for business level scraping solution.
Comments: 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.
Alternatives Considered:
Brightdata - excellent premium proxy provider
Comments: 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.
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Supporting Startups
Comments: 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.
High quality proxies with flexible pricing
Comments: 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.
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
Easy to use Proxy Zones for Google and Website Scraping
Comments: 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.
Best Proxy Service provider
Pros:
Dashboard, Functionality, Robustness, Uptime
Cons:
can be more proactive towards ticket resolution
Brightdata x SEON
Comments: We are sending HTTP requests to certain endpoints of different online platforms to get user registration info and assign a fraud score based on that. Brightdata is one of our main providers to run our social checks upon.
Pros:
Speed, reliability, performance, support
Cons:
Pricing, certain domains (Microsoft) and SMTP are blocked, no SOAX5 mobile proxy
High quality services
Pros:
Simplicity and easy to use solutions, saving time.
Cons:
Complicated system of payments and bonuses
Great customer service
Pros:
Relationship between customer support and my team

Speed, sometimes network gets slow and this is a bottleneck for low latency projects.
Easy data access with BD
Pros:
Very easy and user friendly setup and most important excellent customer support with quick time to resolve.
Cons:
There is nothing that i would state as least-likable.
Great quality proxies and expert support
Pros:
BrightData offers excellent service. Proxies are of high quality. Support knows the product and puts effort to understand client's needs. [sensitive content hidden] helped us to set up the proxy infrastructure and helped to customize pricing plan to optimize the costs.
Cons:
Service can be expensive, but it's a price for the high quality
Bright Data - Excellent
Comments: Excellent. The people were reliable, competent and concerned about the humanitarian aspect of what was being done on our side. Great people.
Pros:
Ease of use, excellent customer service and technical support.
Cons:
No downside in my experience. From the time of our initial consult- to having a usable account set up- they were great.
Quality of service Bright Date.
Comments: 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.
Pros:
What I liked the most was the ability to get data from a source with constantly changing data access conditions. The professional work of Bright Date's team to adapt the collector when data access conditions change. Very friendly and professional support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT], our manager.
Cons:
For me, the user interface is quite complex. But [SENSITIVE CONTENT] support helps to sort it out.
Very competitive, powerful and flexible proxy tool
Comments: 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.
Alternatives Considered:
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.
Good proxies most of the time
Comments: 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.
Best Web data platform with best proessional Team

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.
[SENSITIVE CONTENT] guided me and solved my technical problem like a teacher and mentor.
