    "I get good data that allows me to improve the quality of my services."

    Posted 2022-09-19

    Pros: º It is possible to chat within the platform, thus allowing easy communication with the work team without requiring the use of chat platforms to have topics of conversation about the work carried out with this platform and if not lose the thread of the conversation.

    º The technical support is always up to date to provide solutions to all problems since it has a good team that is well prepared in the field of technology. We have had response errors with the requests we have made within this platform and with the help of Bright Data's technical support we were able to connect properly to the servers since it was a bad configuration that did not keep us stable, causing us to lose time and money.

    º It has a VPN connection that adapts to the needs of each company that allows a more stable connection when using this platform. It has different levels of security depending on what you need and also different ways to have better access to the data that each company needs to collect.

    º The interface is very complete to be able to find data on the internet easily without any problem, I was able to optimize all my search work since despite requiring a certain level or being trained to handle this type of data collection platform, it is very complete and orderly, ready to cover the needs when I am going to search for the necessary information that allows me to know how I can improve my services when I know what users want when they search for our company or search for information from an industry similar to our company.

    Cons: º The cost that this platform requires is a bit high since if we talk about prices we can compare with others and you will see the difference with this platform. I put it as a negative point only because I want to say that it is not for any type of company, so if you have a small business, consider other options before purchasing this platform.

    º It is a bit complex to functionally implement this platform to the company, it took time to start using Bright Data before obtaining results which we expected, training is required and always contact technical support to resolve doubts if you are not used to platforms of this type.

    º Bandwidth limitations, regardless of the fast internet connection that is available at that time, this platform will have speed limitations. This point should be taken into account and if more speed is required than what this platform provides, you will have to contact support to establish costs according to the extra speed you want.

    º The demo is very limited, it does not allow you to do many things and you do not get exact results from the perspective and scope that you have when applying it in real life. It is not flexible with its functions since this platform limits certain things that does not allow you to fully test everything to see if this will work correctly. Maybe paying to have a more complete and realistic test could work, but that's not the idea. However, I am very satisfied with the final version of this platform for providing good results.

    º There are errors when working with proxies, this is a bit limiting since within my company a very closed connection is handled and we only allow platforms as it is, but from time to time it fails, receiving a response as an error, having to wait for the support attends us to be able to solve the problem.

    Overall: It provides an excellent business solution when we are looking for data that our company requires to improve the quality of the services we provide. When we use Bright Data we get results from the solutions we apply with the data obtained. I got a good solution to my problems by implementing this platform for the first time so I am satisfied with all the business solutions that Bright Data gives me.
