Their huge IP pool and the Proxy Rotation feature are my favourites.

When we collect data from a large e-commerce site, their automatic rotation system protects us from IP detection.

What's more, their vast number of server locations makes it very easy for us to access local data from anywhere in the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, there may be a slight delay in receiving a reply from customer support.

The live chat support system needs to be made faster.

Also, if there were a little more discount on larger data packages, it would be more attractive for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Gsocks is their ‘Non-expiring traffic’ feature.

Most major providers deduct unused data at the end of the month, but with Gsocks, I can use the data I purchase for as long as I want.

This is extremely cost-effective for a team like ours.

The quality of their residential IPs is significantly higher, which reduces the risk of being blocked during global data scraping to almost zero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their user interface (UI) is somewhat basic, and there is room for improvement to make it more modern.

Also, the documentation may seem a bit technical when setting it up for the first time.

Onboarding would have been faster if there had been a simple video tutorial for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gsocks’ greatest strength is its ‘no traffic expiry’ policy.

Many large providers deduct unused data at the end of the month, but with Gsocks, the data you purchase can be used for as long as you wish.

This is cost-effective for small and medium-sized teams like ours.

Furthermore, the quality of their Residential IPs is much higher; we can perform global data scraping without any blocks or CAPTCHAs.

The dashboard is very simple, and it is very easy to keep track of traffic usage from here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although their service is good, the user interface (UI) may seem a bit outdated.

There is scope to make it more modern and user-friendly.

Also, for complete beginners, it may take a bit of time to understand some of the technical settings on the dashboard at first.

If there had been a simpler video tutorial or guide for the setup, the onboarding process would have been faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who created this business, its helpful for me to predict my overhead cost. Gsocks provides just that with a non-expiring data model. We can take on various projects, from rep management, to technical SEO. Having the necessary pool of residential IPs that we can pay for only what we use gives us fatter margins. The localized scraping success rate is impressive, so our data-driven strategies are backed by accurate and relevant info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although technically competent, the administrative dashboard needs a good GUI overhaul for a modern touch. It does the job but it is not so user friendly. I think if a faster agency could manage sub-users and track real-time usage through the UI, it would be a great improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The prime attraction here is the never-expiring traffic. We run the scraping batches randomly for market analysis, so we won’t pay subscription/monthly for bandwidth we don’t use. The Gsocks traffic I purchased has proven to be very useful for my business and the speed is perfectly fine. The residential pool's success rate appears to be reasonable; we have not witnessed immediate flagging on standard targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lack of documentation. It's perfectly fine if you're all set for a standard integration. But for niche integrations, you're mostly on your own. The dashboard UI feels somewhat outdated when compared to stronger rivals like Oxylabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The “traffic that never expires” model is the most prominent feature. I am a marketing manager in a fast-paced sports media industry. All our projects are campaign-based and bursty. We could need to check social sentiment during one big tournament for two whole weeks, and not need large scale scraping for a month. With traditional providers, we would lose any credits we didn’t use. The prepaid traffic in Gsocks gives us total flexibility and control we can access any volume when needed. This results in cost efficiency and no friction in procurement for new projects. The quality of the proxy performance, especially the residential IPs, is extremely reliable for accessing geographical sports streaming sites and forums which gives us clean data.

The primary dashboard works but can feel technical for someone like me who is not engineering. Creating usage reports for the department budget accesses different sections. On top of that, their core documentation is good enough, but I would like to see more ready-made business-focused use case guides; for example, step-by-step implementing a brand mention tracker over European sports forums. The assistance from the firm is useful, but sometimes assumes more technical knowledge than is present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that data does not expire is the biggest win for me. I typically don't scrape high volumes every day; I only need proxies when I’m running technical audits or checking on localized search results for clients. It’s way better for my margins to be able to buy a small amount of traffic and have it last for several months than a monthly sub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard feels somewhat outdated. The system is operating well, but a user has found it takes slightly more clicks than necessary to find the rotation settings for various regions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strategically, Gsocks provides a critical function for testing the durability and geographical precision of our cloud directory platform. I love being able to test access controls, Single Sign-On flows and device compliance policies from such a vast selection of real residential and mobile IP addresses. ‎It provides us with the ability to detect and correct any potential configuration issues before they might impact users in certain parts of the world, helping deliver a more consistent and secure experience for everyone across our cloud-first environment. Ease of Use and Very good customer support also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easier to use out of the box by non-technical teammates. My engineers had no problem with the API, but there's a learning curve for product managers and QA to start tests without any deep proxy knowledge. And simplifying the UI for business-user workflows would make it more valuable to the rest of the enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The excellent feature is the reliability of the residential proxy pool. Feigning real organic traffic that comes from a bunch of places in the world, is not optional in our Rakings System. Gsocks delivers on this front. Also, they have prompt and knowledgeable customer service. The few times we did have a question, their responses were clear and to the point which quickly alleviated our problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any main dislikes, but I guess that if l could name an area to improve on it would be the ability to access certain not so common places? Because of a specific vein of project that we had (it was niche) we needed IPs from a region where there wasn't any, but support helped us get it setup with a work-around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most is how stable and consistent the proxy performance is. The variety of IP options like residential, datacenter, and mobile gives flexibility to our team when testing systems from different regions. Their management control panel is straightforward and takes very little onboarding time. Customer support was responsive and well-informed, which really helps in account management across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the service works well, I would like to see proxy uptime and latency in detail. For teams that rely on granular performance metrics for data, having that tracking built-in provides extra value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
