After two years the reliability is what keeps us here. Expensive yes, but the uptime and global coverage justify it for mission-critical jobs.

We run price monitoring across hundreds of retailers and the residential pool keeps us unblocked. Their account manager has been genuinely helpful.

Quality is there but billing surprised me a couple times with overage charges. Documentation is good and the API is mature. Just watch your GB usage closely on residential.

The technology is excellent but I found the platform intimidating as a solo developer. Once configured though the proxies never let me down.

Good value at enterprise volume and the success rate on travel sites was impressive. Billing dashboard could be clearer about projected overages.

AI-ready scraping browser worked well with our LLM data pipeline. Latency was consistent even during peak US business hours.

Strong product overall, the SERP API is accurate. Took a star off because the minimum monthly commitment is high for what we needed.

Their dataset and scraping browser products saved my team weeks of engineering. Account manager was responsive on our enterprise plan. The cost is justified only at real scale.

Coverage in the Middle East and Asia was far better than competitors we tested. Sticky session control is granular and works as advertised.

Customer support is responsive and knowledgeable, they helped tune our request concurrency for better throughput. Pricing transparency could improve.

Powerful but overkill for small projects and the cost reflects that. For enterprise scraping however it has been rock solid.

Such an awesome proxy provider it is

Dashboard has a steep learning curve and so many products it is overwhelming at first. Once you settle on a zone config, uptime and IP quality are rock solid for SERP data.

Best geo-targeting granularity on the market, we needed ZIP-level US coverage and they delivered. Dashboard is dense but powerful once you learn it.

Reliable rotating residential with excellent uptime over six months of heavy use. The only friction was the initial deposit requirement.

The web unlocker product handled the toughest anti-bot targets we threw at it. Worth every cent for our market research team.

Datacenter and residential both perform well and the dashboard analytics are detailed. Onboarding took a verification call but went smoothly after that.

We migrated our entire SERP pipeline here and response times improved noticeably. The compliance and KYC process is strict but reassuring for enterprise.

Web Unlocker handles the worst anti-bot sites I throw at it. It is pricey and the per-GB costs sting on large jobs, but the time saved on bypassing captchas is worth it.

The network quality is great but the pricing model is confusing and I felt nickel-and-dimed on add-ons. Not beginner friendly at all.

Sticky sessions held steady through long checkout flows which other providers failed at. Support escalated our edge case to engineering within a day.

Solid platform for serious data collection. The proxy manager tool saved us a lot of custom code, though the learning curve for newcomers is real.

Huge IP pool and the geo coverage is unmatched. We scrape across 40+ countries and almost never hit a region that is not covered.

Performance is excellent but the residential GB overages caught us off guard one month. Watch your dashboard usage carefully or the bill grows fast.

Documentation and the API are top tier, our engineering team integrated in a single afternoon. Pricing is steep but you get what you pay for at enterprise scale.

The residential network is enormous and city-level targeting is the most precise I have used. Compliance and KYC took time, but for enterprise scraping the success rate is unmatched.

The residential network is genuinely the most reliable I have used. City-level targeting in the US and Germany worked exactly as documented and the success rate on protected ecommerce sites stayed above 97%.
