"=Strong features but weak documentation"

4/5

What do you like best about Bright Data?

Provide strong features. It really helps collecting data.

In-time customer support. Big thanks to Adam Rashbi Izrailov for his expertise and patience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Data?

1. Some document is outdated like the best practice section, wait_any() can't set timeout, the advanced usage of wait() for multiple elements.

2. The document is insufficient to help developers to solve complicated cases like collecting data from multiple stages. Looks like it can only run all the stages serially. There is no way to collect the data of all the children stages in the root stage.

3. Not easy to debug for multiple stages. The only way to test multiple stages is Initiate Mannually. But it doesn't provide any run logs.

4. Can't jump to output schema in the Code editor page.

5. Not easy to check the mismatched part between the result and output schema.

6. Not able to detect captcha automatically as described in the document. It needs to check the captcha object manually for sometime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dependable solution for competitive research"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Bright Data?

I especially like that Bright Data can provide for specific requests when collecting public data. It consolidates the facets that are necessary for gaining intricate insight of the market, which has enhanced the way we address decisions. It runs seamlessly every time without fail even if deadlines are stressed and ensures our projects move on as planned. This precision and reliability afford us with the assurance to run campaigns exceptionally well having concrete data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Data?

The biggest drawback of Bright Data is that you can quickly run into steep cost challenges, as the usage can quickly add up. One of the troubles with this purpose is that we do not always get the same data when we search for something exceptionally special. They make us perform processes again and waste time which is frustrating when projects are time bound. Overall, the platform is quite good, but at times these sets back bring an efficiency hit at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bright Data has overcome the difficulty of quickly and efficiently sourcing the public data. The time it took to collect information for market research was much longer, and the information was less consistent. Then we don’t have to waste hours gathering data; now we can simply focus on interpreting our data. For one, it helps us identify opportunities in new markets and enabling us to grow our business. However, because of its ability to be in sync with varying trends it is a helpful asset to being competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful proxy network for uninterrupted data gathering"

4/5

What do you like best about Bright Data?

The top feature of Bright Data is how reliable, real time data I can retrieve without having to deal with things like IP blocks. With the large proxy network I can gather valuable data from diverse website without any issue. We like it because it works well with our analysis software and we can collect and use the data for research and business intelligence. All the flexibility that the platform brings is invaluable as it allows us to get the insights we need that much faster and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Data?

The bigguest issue I have with Bright Data is it has a little high priced for smaller teams or companies with less budgets. Setting up can also be tough for people who do not know what the data scraping tools look like. The documentation is good, but it's all still learning curve, so sometimes it drags down things you wanted to implement. Moreover, the platform fails occasionally to achieve acceptable performance with quite large datasets by slowing the speed and reliability of data retrieval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gathering data from websites that usually block scraping attempts is one of the main things that Bright Data have helped us solve for. Having a large proxy network means we literally have no problem getting and collecting the data that we need. This all has really sped up our market research process and we get way more diverse and detailed data which then helps us make better decisions and better business strategies.

"Effective proxy networks for global data access"

4/5

What do you like best about Bright Data?

The way Bright Data updates data multiple times a day to keep everything accurate and reliable is what I especially like about it. That's because the sheer amount of proxies can be used to proxy various information concurrently. Over time we've scaled our operations on its ability to handle millions of requests per day, whether tracking competitor prices across regions, or anything else. The biggest value of this, I think, is that it is a simple, dependable, solution to ensuring that we have consistency in our data workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Data?

A disadvantage of Bright Data is its slowness to respond during heavy traffic peaks, which interrupt us. That said, it’s also a little overwhelming at first, only adding more features to a tool we can't focus on what's always most important: the key features we need to utilize. Some times this has delayed the important competitor analysis, which affects timing of decision making and our response to market changes on a couple of occasions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Bright Data, we overcome the obstacle of scraping accurate, diverse data for tracking your competitors. We use its vast proxy network to get our data without getting blocked and help smooth operations. This automates it for us so we can save time and continue to have a steady flow of accurate insights that keep us competitive in our industry. And it has completely changed how we treat and approach data collection and analysis, enabling us to be far more agile in our decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
