55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"I told them that we have malicious attacks against our system, causing our system to go down. We need to do something, and I explained that Distil could solve our problems."

"The Distil service seemed like the stuff of magic. It has proven to be so."

“Using Distil, we proactively defend against bots, and that ends up yielding a total defense posture for both our content and our banner ads. I’d recommend them to any organization that relies on unique content to drive their business.”“Using Distil, we proactively defend against bots, and that ends up yielding a total defense posture for both our content and our banner ads.

“Before Distil, we were spending 20 to 30 hours a week investigating and blocking bots in our Web Application Firewalls. Now, it’s all automated.”

"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."

"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.”

"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."

"Distil provides rich information on malicious bot traffic for our video sites to identify fraudulent traffic. Our clients love the results.”

"With our previous bot management vendor by the time we got the bad IP address blocked, the bad guys had already moved to another IP address. Distil has the intelligence to determine the difference between a bot and a human, and this intelligence allows Distil to respond to the attack patterns without any form of interaction on our part. The solution just works."

"One web scraper was doing anything he could to get airfares, and despite our initial attempts with many other solutions to stop him, he could still get back into the site within 24 hours. But when we implemented Distil, he simply gave up."

"Competitors use bots to perform an ‘Add To Cart’ action, then scrape for price. If we drop our price to $1.99, an hour later it could be $1.98 at another site. Then the competitor’s product appears higher in search engine price sorts. Boom—we just lost a sale. Also, those types of queries represent a high computational hit, taxing our backend servers and impacting site performance. Distil has made our lives so much easier."

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

"If someone comes in and steals our data through scraping, we don’t know exactly what they do with the data. They would probably resell it to their own customers, so they would make a profit on our data—and they don’t pay a cent to us to do that. Of course, that’s totally illegal. The big value of the Distil software is that it allows us to block these people, so we don’t lose our data or the revenue from selling it."
