What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

What problems is the product 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.
