Robust, great for financial decision making, and very scalable
This product really needs to improve its ease of use. The solution needs to do a better job of promoting and marketing itself. Alteryx is much better at this and as a consequence is more recognizable. Trifacta needs to showcase its technology better. It truly should encompass the A to Z execution of how you execute business process modeling in an intelligent automation form. A future release needs to be something that's easier to handle. I wouldn't say a layman should be able to use the solution as data wrangling is something that somebody has got to really be certified in. I have a friend who's worked at IBM for 30 years, and now he's just getting certified as a data scientist. However, if the solution was designed as something that really could assist a new data scientist or kids coming out of college, something that's easier for them to wrap their heads around, that would be helpful. The interface on Trifacta is way too busy. I used to do UX and it's just awful. It looks a little bit like Excel. I can't stand it. The UI of Alteryx is much, much better.

Reliable unblocking services have supported seamless access to protected web pages
The main use case for me is utilizing Bright Data's unblocking services that allow me to receive the whole protected web page via a simple API call. It is quite easy to use and reliable, which is important for large businesses. This is valuable to my organization as it is one of the main proxy providers I use in my projects and in client projects, wherever possible.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It works well for data scientists and can really help them drill down on the information in order to give management tangible data points for larger business decisions."
"I think Bright Data is one of the best tools in the market. I've tested many, but Bright Data doesn't have much downtime. It's very fast compared to other proxy providers. Speed is their main USP, which is what they're selling it for. They're also good with security. The signal remains the same if something goes wrong with our internet connections or laptops. It doesn't affect the profiles or other things we're using. It just cuts off the internet connection directly. That's one of the best use cases."
"The platform's ease of use is a significant advantage. The web interface allows me to initiate queries easily and returns data in a structured format."
"The configuration was very easy, and the documentation was generally clear and direct."
"You need to set it up properly, and it does most of the work for you."
"The main use case for me is utilizing Bright Data's unblocking services that allow me to receive the whole protected web page via a simple API call."
"The response time was fast, even when we had to run thousands of requests."
"The main use case for me is utilizing Bright Data's unblocking services that allow me to receive the whole protected web page via a simple API call."
"The platform is scalable and works well with large projects. I have not experienced any issues with scalability."
 

Cons

"This product really needs to improve its ease of use."
"Bright Data needs to work daily to improve its features because new data captures are always happening in the market."
"The product could be more user-friendly for beginners."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult with servers, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the setup process for new developers, as it can be complex for those without experience. Making manual settings easier and enabling a one-click setup would help bridge this gap. Everything else about Bright Data is fine."
"The main reason we left the product was that it was very expensive. They need to adjust their packages according to who uses them. They're very expensive compared to the market, probably because they believe they're the best. But it's too costly for companies like ours to continue with it. Another issue is that their support team is a bit slow."
"The quality of the solution's technical support could be improved."
"The problem with the tool is that it is not big enough...It is not that user-friendly."
"The solution's proxy selection process needs improvement. Incorporating country-specific proxies would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think the pricing is fair, if it is used in a business. The pricing model might need some adjustments if I am using it for a personal purpose, especially if I use it for a month or two."
"I got a type of free access, but it was through a referral from my friend. I got some credits free from the tool's end."
"Regarding pricing, we paid about 1000 dollars monthly for Bright Data. We started with their pay-as-you-go plan, which was expensive as we were charged per GB. Then we moved to the 500 dollar package, then the 1000 dollar package. We considered the 2000 dollar package they introduced recently."
"I don’t think the solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The product pricing is reasonable for its features."
"Bright Data is not an expensive tool compared to its competitors."
"Compared to other proxy servers, Bright Data's pricing is quite reasonable. I"
"The product has average pricing."
