"Stable Tokyo/LA/NY Proxies with Fast, Patient Support"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

I mainly use the shared static residential proxies in Tokyo, Los Angeles and New York. The node quality is good and they’ve been pretty stable for me.

The best part for me is the support. I had quite a few questions when I first started, and they replied fast and were really patient. They helped me solve several issues and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The main thing I dislike is how plan upgrades work. When I upgraded my plan, I found out that the new plan replaced the existing one instead of being added on, and the remaining time wasn’t prorated. It was a bit confusing at first. I think the upgrade and billing rules could be explained more clearly before confirming the purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly needed stable residential IPs in a few different locations. Decodo made that much easier because I can use static residential IPs in Tokyo, Los Angeles and New York without constantly changing providers or dealing with unstable nodes. It saves me time and makes my testing work a lot more consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable residential proxies and fast, effective customer support"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

What I like most about Decodo is the reliability of their residential proxies and the speed of their customer support. The service has been stable and easy to use. On one occasion, I had an issue related to the configuration of my proxies, but the support team responded quickly and helped me resolve it without complications. Knowing that there is always someone willing to help gives me a lot of confidence when using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

I think the interface and initial setup could be a bit more intuitive for new users. Even so, customer support makes up for this by responding quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Decodo helps me rely on reliable and stable residential proxies, which allows me to work more efficiently and avoid connection issues or blocks. Additionally, the service is easy to use, and when I've had any questions or issues, the technical support has helped me quickly. Thanks to this, I can dedicate more time to my projects and less time solving technical problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes Work Easier with Helpful Support, Great Accessibility, and Fair Pricing"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

It has actually helped in a lot in working and making things easier. I once had a payment issue and I reached out to the support and they also helped me out. I do sincerely love it and also the accessibility of the platform is goof, as is the pricing too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

What I dislike is the fact that one can only buy 3 IPs just once and cannot buy more and only a higher package like 10 IPs and from that, also more again, which is not a good one for me. What if I only do want just 1 IP, 2 IPs or even just 4 IPs alone? So the unchangeable number of Ips one can buy on the platform, I do dislike it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, it has helped in the solving of me getting access to works and places I couldn't access either. For it has made it easier and better access to works for me, actually, and I do appreciate it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

I primarily use Decodo’s (formerly Smartproxy) shared ISP service. It allows me to fix my IP address for using specific software and services. The main advantage is its relatively affordable pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

There isn’t really anything that doesn’t help me. The only thing is that I would like to use the dedicated ISP service, but the minimum purchase is 3 IPs. I don’t need that many — one IP is enough for me. Additionally, the renewal process is quite easy to get wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Decodo effectively solves my need for a stable, fixed residential IP address to access specific software and services. Their shared ISP service offers clean residential IPs at a very affordable price, allowing me to maintain the same IP every month at low cost.

Although I only need one IP, the service still meets my core requirement for reliable fixed IPs, which helps me work more efficiently without frequent IP changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decodo: Excellent proxy variety and UI, but blacklist handling and rotation need improvement"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

I like that Decodo offers a wide variety of proxy options, all accessible from a single platform. The UI is seamless and lets me view my options and usage across every proxy type, along with my remaining balance. Integration is smooth thanks to well-defined, detailed documentation, and pricing is competitive as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

Sometimes your proxies, even at the residential level, are blacklisted and cause problems when used to scrape specific sources. Identifying and switching problematic proxies is not very well implemented, and I cannot seamlessly discard or shuffle proxies without also requiring code-level changes. Doing this outside the plan cycle is an even bigger hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scraping content from Instagram, YT and other platforms, and scraping Hotel OTAs to generate AI summaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Stable Platform with Some Communication Delays"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The technical infrastructure and overall speed feel consistently stable. The UI/UX is clean and intuitive, which makes the platform straightforward to navigate and use. Overall, it delivers what it promises on the technical side, without any major hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The customer support and onboarding experience has been really disappointing. I’ve run into major delays when trying to get issues resolved, and communication often feels slow and drawn out. Even more frustrating, we requested a specific feature that was critical to our workflow, but it took an incredibly long time to actually get it implemented. That delay led to unnecessary downtime and ended up wasting a lot of our time. Overall, the support team needs to be much faster and more proactive, because the slow response times definitely push you away from the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run an e-commerce business targeting the US market, so having a reliable and fast connection to manage my online stores without any interruptions is a huge deal for me. On the technical side, Decodo actually does a good job keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, which saves me a lot of headaches with data and connection issues.

The tool itself is solid, but I did face some slow turnaround times recently when communicating with them. I requested a specific feature update to make my daily workflow a bit smoother, and the process to get it defined and implemented took much longer than it should have. It's not a bad service at all, but when you're trying to keep things moving quickly in e-commerce, those communication delays and waiting periods for new features can be a bit frustrating.

"Easy Access to Global Proxies on One Platform"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The easier access to proxies from different countries on a single platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The proxies packaging system, if you are able to downgrade your plan with chosen proxies, it would be perfect but right now it just gives the first 3 or first 10 proxies. Haven't had any problems with the performance except some days of it being offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

My IP has been blocked by youtube.com because of using browser cookies for automating some stuff, but after i learnt about Decodo, the modern design was pretty good to simplify the process of buying proxies to connect to adspower after I talked with the support on how to do it. Haven't used their AI features cause not needed in what i use it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good value ISP proxies, performance improves after testing"

4/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

What I like most is the balance between price and performance. Compared with other ISP proxy providers, Decodo offers competitive pricing while still delivering good-quality IPs. Once you find stable IPs, the performance is consistently solid, with good speeds and relatively low block rates. I also appreciate how easy the platform is to use, and how straightforward it is to manage proxies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

One drawback is that not all IPs perform equally well right from the start, so it takes some time to test them and figure out which ones work best. This initial filtering can be a bit time-consuming, especially if you need consistent performance immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Decodo helps me access reliable ISP residential proxies for projects that need stable connections and low detection rates. It’s improved my workflow by giving me a cost-effective way to scale operations while still maintaining acceptable performance. After I filter for the right IPs, I’m able to run tasks more consistently and with fewer interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, High-Quality Proxy IPs, but Pricing Need Work"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

The best thing about Decodo is the quality of its proxy IPs. Before switching, I was using ProxyCheap, but the issue with their proxies was that I constantly ran into CAPTCHA challenges and issues with websites protected by Cloudflare. I then checked the IP reputation and found that the proxy IP I was provided had a very high spam and fraud score (I think it was 68). I then searched on X for a better proxy provider for my use case and saw people suggesting Decodo. So I bought the cheapest package, which was $10 for 3 proxies (even though I only wanted one). I checked the spam and fraud score and it was much better at just 13. So yeah, it does help if you want a clean IP for websites or account creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)?

1. I hate that you have to buy 3 IPs instead of 1. I only needed 1 proxy, but I had to buy 3 as their lowest package has a minimum of 3.

2. Sometimes the speed is horrible, so uploading longer videos becomes a pain.

3. The support is alright, but it can be improved, especially the live chat.

4. The UI is alright, but the proxy details section on the dashboard is slightly confusing. It can be improved to be clearer and more understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem it solved was that the proxy Decodo provided had a very clean score. This allowed me to create my YouTube channel on a high-trust, low-fraud IP, and when I posted on it, the channel instantly got traction, which I wasn't able to get with my previous provider. It was also fairly quick to integrate in Multilogin (a secure browser) and didn't require any extra hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
