Bright Data Reviews & Product Details

In the first phase of my research, I used Bright Data’s services to scrape data from the AdultWork website in the United Kingdom. The extracted data played a critical role in analyzing trafficking-related indicators and the illicit massage industry. What stood out to me the most was the prompt delivery and the consistently responsive support from the Bright Data team.

As I move into the next phase of my research—I will be re-visiting the dataset for training classification models using this data. Currently, working with Bright Data to customize a scraper for a related study. We, at Bar Ilan University deeply value their work and look forward to continuing this partnership in future projects. I believe this partnership reinforces my research in time and efficiency to target social, policy and technological contributions to the data-driven methodologies in combating the crime of human trafficking.

They give you a bunch of solutions, countries and all kind of proxies you can choose from and configure your solution accordingly. Also, they have a good service that will help yo configure investigate and solve issues that you ran into Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

although they did gave me a good service eventually, it took them almost a day to answer my question and go live on zoom with me. Not sure whose fault that was, but my production was influenced by the proxy issue i had and waiting a day to get a response was not that nice (once they wrote me back - we immediately took care of it with professionally and kindly) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Bright Data's services for making it very easy to reliably collect public job advertisements. I find their control panel very useful for debugging the API as it allows me to download snapshot results effortlessly. I really like the pricing of their services; it's very fair. Incorporating Bright Data was really easy for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Continuous support and communication with their employees. Intuitive data dashboard and platform making it straightforward to access to data. Data for good program and partnership allowing access for non-profit research use of the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The data platform could allow setting even more complex filters, or will be nice to include an online analysis console using SQL or similar scripting languages to investigate the data more before downloading it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Their original promise of hard to get data being made easy to retrieve was not true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the documentation lacking in clear example use cases, which made setting up difficult. Despite using Bright Data to collect e-commerce data, I feel it fails in making the process easier. The scraping browser API, while promising in theory, does not perform well in practice. Over time, the product's performance has degraded significantly, leading to a high error rate. I am also frustrated by being charged for results that I did not receive back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliably gathering publicly available data on the web has become extremely difficult given the complex and varied frameworks used for content publication. Custom solutions are frequently rendered obsolete in days, and are generally brittle. In contrast, the solutions offered by Bright Data have worked consistently for us for many months without interruption. This has allowed our team to focus on data analysis instead of data collection.

So far I have not encountered any drawbacks to the Bright Data platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
