Straightforward experience, solid support
What do you like best about the product?
The service seems to be comprehensive for what I need and the support is responsive and provides good information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their documentation is fairly sparse. More thorough documentation would be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Bright Data to conduct research, and it's much easier to use the API to gather the data programmatically than to do it manually through other means.
User-friendly, feature-rich proxy networks and web scraping tools
What do you like best about the product?
Highly reliable service with an extensive network of proxies (both datacenter and residential) and different tools to make web scraping more easy and scalable. Services easy to integrate into any existing pipeline (at least using Python, which is what my experience is limited to). It just works with minimal hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to mention anything, Bright Data could be more (proactively) transparent about processing of user data, such as in the requirement to share passport/id card information when applying for residential proxies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bright Data has helped solve major challenges related to access of data from third countries where internet bottlenecks prevent reliable, high-uptime access to online resources. The scraping browser service has also eliminated challenges related to resource management when using resource-intensive tools like Selenium, while minimizing investment into configuration. Overall, significant parts of my work likely would not be possible without it.
Unlocking antisemitism with Bright Data
What do you like best about the product?
The broad coverage available of social media networks, search engine results and the ability to unlock hard-to-scrape websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some websites that block the proxy IPs - roughly 3% of those attempted. Scraping social media works best with batches of URLs, which limits our ability to do so in real-time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bright data is enabling us to access content from websites that either block attempts to scrape content or require cookies and specific user agents to access the conten.
It is also enabling us to batch-query instagram, facebook and twitter posts together with their supporting media attachments for further AI processing and analysis.

What do you like best about the product?
The technical support is super fast. The APIs are easy to implement for people with coding background as their website provides very clear instructions. It is easy to integrate the APIs into applications.
The dataset purchase on the webpage makes it easy for layman to filter and download results.
The pricing is also very economical.

What do you dislike about the product?
If the scraping website servie can be improved to auto deploy given a url, that will be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their APIs to extract social media data greatly reduced manual work.
Reliable and easy-to-implement tool for data collection with excellent support.
What do you like best about the product?
I've found Bright Data to be a very valuable asset for data collection.

I've been particularly impressed with the reliability and speed of data collection, especially for large-scale projects. The customer support team is very responsive and has been helpful in resolving issues promptly. The flexible architecture allows for seamless implementation into existing frameworks and settings, minimizing the need for extensive reconfigurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
For those unfamiliar with web scraping, there is a learning period. The documentation helped me get started, though some advanced features took time to understand fully. However, support team is very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Retrieving public available dara on a large scale.
good research tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, I had some difficulty understanding how to set the filter options effectively. However, after receiving an explanation, it became much more straightforward to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in an interdisciplinary research environment where I need to bring together multiple datasets from different sources. Bright Data greatly simplifies my access to these datasets and makes it easy to extract the relevant data. The datasets provided are well organised, which helps me save time and focus on analysis rather than data wrangling. This efficiency has greatly benefited my work.
Bright Data Review for LinkedIn Dataset Usage in Academic Research
What do you like best about the product?
As a university chair at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), we rely on Bright Data’s LinkedIn dataset to advance our research on entrepreneurship rankings, specifically assessing the impact of German academic institutions. Using this dataset, we match founder profiles with startups and universities to analyze key factors such as prior experience, gender distribution, cultural diversity, and geographic spread.
The quality and depth of the LinkedIn data have been critical in providing accurate, up-to-date insights into the entrepreneurial landscape. Thanks to Bright Data, we’ve been able to offer a data-driven perspective on important trends like female leadership and the geographic distribution of entrepreneurial activity linked to academia.
Bright Data’s platform is reliable, easy to integrate, and offers the comprehensive, real-time data we need to ensure our research stays relevant. We highly recommend it for any institution looking to perform rigorous, data-backed analysis.
A special thank you to the Bright Initiative for their generous support of our project. Your contributions have been invaluable in helping us drive impactful academic research.

What do you dislike about the product?
While we wish access could extend beyond just public LinkedIn data, this is a limitation beyond Bright Data's control. That said, the platform is reliable, user-friendly, and provides comprehensive real-time data that keeps our research relevant and impactful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Matching startups to academic instituions while providing details about founder profiles
A fantastic resource to reliably, legally access otherwise-inaccessible data
What do you like best about the product?
Bright Data's products scratch an evident itch: collecting social media platforms' data has been made very hard in practice, despite legislation that makes it mandatory in many geographies.
Many platforms don't have APIs, third party Python libraries are usually not available, reliable or scalable. This left the research community trying to access social media data at scale with the need to reinvent the wheel for every new social media-related project. Bright Data has proven a fantastic answer to this issue.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing ! Being able to access posts that are behind log-in walls would be appreciated but I understand it might not be legally possible.
