55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"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.”

"This project has been a great success for us. It provides us with a highly effective, speedy, 24 hour automated system for detecting and giving us the information needed to act upon or even block scraping activity if we wish to."

"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 chose to partner and integrate Distil's anti-fraud technology into our content advertising platform, which has been used across hundreds of millions of impressions."

"Some bot operators interject scripts into their code to mimic human behavior. Others will circumvent the web product page and go directly to the API behind it. Before Distil, bot blocking was eating up 20% of team resources, only 30% effective, and impacting the team’s quality of life. Distil lets us granularly control questionable traffic or simply block it all."

"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."

"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."

"If someone scores a goal, we get that information in real time, and it's automated in our backend system, and the actual orders are automated as well, which means that we can operate really, really quickly. And it cost us money to operate those services. What we were finding is, people were using our websites to harvest those odds data with bots and they can use that information to their advantage elsewhere without paying us for the feed.”

"Distil has allowed me to focus somewhere else. It's totally eradicated our bot issues. Sometimes, I forget it's in place because it's doing such a good job."

"Connecting the dots with data is essential to developing allaround protection. That’s a really important deliverable we’re getting from Distil Networks."

"The thing that all of us enjoy so much is that it just works, where so many times other solutions don’t."

"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."

"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."

"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."
