Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) Reviews & Product Details

The stability and success rate when scraping difficult targets like Booking.com. We struggled with constant 403 blocks and Cloudflare challenges with other providers. Decodo's Scraper API handles the headless browser rendering and proxy rotation automatically, allowing us to access real-time pricing data without getting banned. The integration with our Python backend was straightforward, and the API response time is acceptable for such complex tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing structure can be a bit steep for smaller volume projects, although the quality justifies the cost. Sometimes the documentation for advanced Scraper API parameters could be more detailed, but their support team is quick to help if you get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed is awesome i like it very much, and some other website i buy 2 proxies from 2 different website but they have such a low speed but its amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not at all, but i am using isp proxy and i want unlimited data on it but they have some kinda 50gb 100gb something like that package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its reliable proxy network, easy setup, and stable performance for web scraping tasks. The reliable proxy network helps me avoid IP bans and access issues, which is critical for scraping. The easy setup and clear documentation save development time, and the stable performance allows my scraping jobs to run consistently without frequent failures. The initial setup was very easy, and I was able to start scraping quickly without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the pricing is high for large scale scraping. Also, the few proxy regions could be expanded. It would be helpful if Decodo offered more proxy locations in specific regions like Africa and South America as this would improve access to local content and expand the coverage.

What I like best about Decodo is that it just works without breaking the bank. The proxies are fast, reliable, and I rarely run into block. For the price I'm paying, the quality is honestly better than what I expected. Also, the support team has been a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The costs add up quickly, I bought with a good price with discount but now they removed that discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I'm not sure i have anything i truly dislike about Decodo. My experience with decodo so far has been pretty smooth . Everything from the setup to performance and support has worked as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Decodo to purchase proxies which help me gather educational information about different regions. I find Decodo's reliability and affordability unmatched. Their customer service is impressive; once I purchased the wrong proxies, and the assistant quickly reached out to solve my issue, even following up to ensure customer satisfaction. I appreciate the convenience of their support – just a click away, and I’m connected to an agent in no time. The platform's easy setup allows me to navigate without needing a guide. The competitive pricing, especially for dedicated proxies, made the switch from other products a no-brainer for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They serve my needs i have nothing to dislike about them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliability and consistent connection speeds for geo-location testing. The setup process was straightforward, and I've found the proxies to be very stable for my testing needs. The ability to maintain consistent IP locations has been particularly valuable for the type of testing I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don’t like is that some locations take a bit longer to connect. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I have to switch to another region to keep working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Decodo's smooth integration process and user-friendly design that allows me to accomplish most tasks independently without requiring support. The service has demonstrated strong reliability and resourcefulness during my 3 months of usage, with excellent uptime and consistent availability. What particularly impressed me is their responsiveness to user feedback - they actively incorporated suggestions and improved their API responses based on customer input. I have used their proxy services as well, and that works very smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main concerns center around their technical support quality and availability. The support team often struggles with basic technical questions and provides limited weekend coverage, which can be problematic when urgent fixes are needed. For example, I experienced an issue where their Amazon API was returning empty responses, and I had to wait several days for resolution due to weekend unavailability. Additionally, their API documentation needs improvement to be more comprehensive and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience using Decodo, I believe that the solutions are high quality, the proxy IPs are very clean, and they are also very easy to use with an interface that is easy to understand. Above all, the quality of the IPs is consistent and efficient. If you configure it to your needs, you can reap great benefits. It's all about knowing what you want to achieve, and with Decodo, you can make it happen.

Customer service is efficient, they are always available to answer any questions I have or provide assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, this is the first time I've used this service, and so far I have no complaints. I'm satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have very positive impressions from using Decodo. They provide one of the largest residential proxy networks in the world with over 55 million IPs, which means I almost never encounter burned-out addresses. The system automatically issues a new IP if the previous one starts to slow down or gets blocked. This ensures a high percentage of successful requests, which is especially important for data parsing. Also, setting up Decodo was very simple: I was able to launch my first request within 5-10 minutes after registration thanks to the intuitive interface and the availability of ready-made code examples. This seriously saves time on setting up the infrastructure. I have already recommended this service to my colleagues because it is truly reliable in terms of the stability of residential proxies and the convenience of the interface.

When I need to generate and export a very large list of addresses (for example, 10,000+ nodes), the interface sometimes lags or limits the number of rows for a single export. It would be great to have the ability to export unlimited lists in one file without unnecessary clicks. I rate it 9 instead of 10 only because of the cost of mobile proxies and some limits when exporting huge IP lists, which I mentioned earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
