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.

Solid multi-ingestion tool but with poor exception handling

The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens (an event is when the job stops in the middle of the process), it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue. Another issue is that sometimes your jobs fail and if you run it a second time, it will go through. A third area it could be improved is the deployment process. When you want to deploy anything, it has a lot of manual processes. For example, you have to create your password in an encrypted format, and then you have to use a lot of manual deployment process. They should actually be building something else, like using Jenkins or automating their process. I have suggested to them that they have to improve their deployment process because they want everyone to run a manual deployment. It takes a lot of time, about half a day, for any single deployment. Then test it, then it might not work, and then reverting back is not easy because of the manual deployment process. I think in recent versions they added a lot of upgrades and additional features including a lot of integrations. Before it was just AWS, later they extended it to Azure. I'm not sure how they have extended it to GCP. It has some built-in features and a lot of improvements now because the UI and the features were not easy to navigate. Regarding showing the metrics, it's okay. I will say it's neither easy nor hard, there is whatever is required. Lastly, on the governance side, it's not very good. We faced some issues with the Ranger version. Ranger was an authentication tool on big data and Zaloni had some compatibility issues with the Ranger at that time. Later they said those are all going to be resolved, but at that time it had some issues. I'm not sure whether it was working with the Sentry or not.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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 solution's most valuable feature is its mobile proxies."

"The solution provides comprehensive support services, including many tutorials and documentation. In terms of web scraping, it has proven to be the most effective tool."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the Proxy feature."

"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 response time was fast, even when we had to run thousands of requests."

"The most valuable feature of Bright Data is its proxy server, which effectively mimics real human behavior, avoiding complex navigation in the browser and reducing server load during scraping. This makes it easier to scrape data sets."

"You need to set it up properly, and it does most of the work for you."

More Bright Data pros

"You can create a lot of ingestions based on the file levels or based on the time."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to map data and write workflows with logic inside them."

Cons

"Bright Data could improve its user interface and dashboard to make it more user-friendly. I found it confusing and hard to navigate initially, and even after using it for three months, I still struggle sometimes to find what I need. It would be helpful if they could enhance the presentation and organization of their dashboard to make it easier for users like me to access and manage data effectively. Learning to use Bright Data may take a few days due to its current usability challenges, but it's manageable. However, realizing its full capabilities might take longer due to navigation difficulties and lack of clarity in data presentation."

"Bright Data could significantly improve its support service."

"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 Datasheet API has unclear documentation."

"The problem with the tool is that it is not big enough...It is not that user-friendly."

"I think Bright Data and the tools within its catalog are still unpopular. Earlier, I did not know that Bright Data had a web scraping browser."

"Bright Data needs to work daily to improve its features because new data captures are always happening in the market."

"The solution's documentation and initial setup are longer than they should be."

More Bright Data cons

"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens, it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue."

"Technical support is in need of improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 don’t think the solution’s pricing is expensive."

"Compared to other proxy servers, Bright Data's pricing is quite reasonable. I"

"The product pricing is reasonable for its features."

"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."

"Bright Data is not an expensive tool compared to its competitors."

"The product has average pricing."
