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.

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

"The quality of the solution's technical support could be improved."
"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."
"The dashboard was a bit too technical, and even with my technical experience, I had a hard time."
"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."
"The product's primary area for improvement is the documentation."
"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."
"One area for product improvement might be the interface's complexity for students who need more coding experience."
More Bright Data cons
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable for its features."
"I don’t think the solution’s pricing is expensive."
"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."
"Compared to other proxy servers, Bright Data's pricing is quite reasonable. I"
"Bright Data is not an expensive tool compared to its competitors."
"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."
"The product has average pricing."
