55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"None of the other solutions was able to block bots as well as Distil does. Distil leverages a strong network effect, which is really powerful."

"After spending more than a year cultivating our own in-house scraping prevention solution we realized there were well funded scrapers who could adapt faster than we could stop them. The Distil Networks team continually works to ensure that as scrapers change they’re right there changing with them."

"Distil revealed that roughly 30% of our traffic was comprised of bad bots. We’re now blocking over 80% of that, and may decide to get more aggressive with our settings. Distil’s hands-off, proactive approach saves our company two to three man-days per month and is much more effective than the ‘whack-a-mole’ we were playing writing F5 iRules. We’ve also prevented at least three outages, and freed up 25% of our F5 LTM capacity."

"We have steadily been blocking more bad actors and the spam they post. This is exactly what we were hoping we were going to get out of implementing Distil Networks' filtering solution."

"The volunteers don't pull any punches when they are dissatisfied with the kind of spam they have to deal with. They want to spend their time helping people with Drupal technical questions, and instead they're deleting spam. Then they tell us we're doing a bad job in dealing with spam and we need to fix the problem. We really don’t want them wasting their time managing spam. We want them adding value to the project instead of helping clean up somebody else's mess."

"Data is the lifeblood of our business. Using Distil, we're able to block bots on a per request basis, rather than just blocking whole IPs. This allows us to protect our data and preserve a good user experience. With Distil, we've essentially outsourced our bot problem."

"Left unchecked, large digital publishers typically see 20% of the traffic hitting their sites from bad bots. With our previous toolset we were at about 7% bad bot traffic, and after deploying Distil, we’re confident that we’re at less than 1% of bad bot traffic.”

"The Distil Networks service already had established a set of rules to ensure we are blocking the bots that are dangerous to our organization. We are benefiting from Distil’s known bots signature database. We have found that a mixture of what Distil immediately provides as well as their adjustable detection methods and customizable mitigation options, create an optimal environment for what our business needs at this time."

"With Distil, we increased our uptime from 99.6 to 99.9%, reduced infrastructure costs and eliminated costly bot-driven API calls. Bots be gone!"

"Distil blocked a major bot attack before it ever hit our site, a step above the usual kludgey JavaScript-based bot blocking solutions. Distil is simply the best bot detection and mitigation solution on the market."

"We deal with market research data samples, typically through email-based interviews. Data integrity is critical."

"We tried several homegrown and third-party tools to eliminate bots, but they kept getting through. With Distil Networks, we’re able to proactively stop bots from hitting our site, and its granular controls let us tune our protection settings for our most important pages."

"Across all of our 20+ newspaper sites, Distil Networks keeps our content and data safe and improves our content delivery."

"Distil filters through all of our web traffic, ‘distils’ it, cleanses it and makes sure that we don't have to deal with any of the bad bots that try to scrape our sites. It eliminates all the management tasks for us and makes protecting our sites simple."

"Before Distil we’d look at logs, try to find patterns, and block IP addresses, but it was an impossible task because the bot operators kept changing and masking IPs. We were spending over 20 hours a month trying to manually fix the problem. Distil gave me peace of mind. I know that I don't have to worry about bad bots and their impact on our business. I'm able to sleep at night. That's the biggest benefit of all."
