55 Distil Networks Testimonials

“Fighting scrapers and hackers is a cold war so we need to be able to leverage accurate, real-time threat intelligence. The alliance of Distil-protected sites constitutes a highly effective nexus of knowledge and power to defeat our shared enemy--malicious bots.”

"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."

"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’re pleasing our customers and chasing away the big threat to our business model, all for zero-add to our cost structure.”

"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."

"The Distil deployment was perfect; I don’t think e-Travel has experienced a quicker integration, and the ongoing support has been fantastic. It’s hard to find a company as responsive and knowledgeable as Distil. But the biggest benefit Distil offers is that I no longer worry about bad bots affecting our business."

"Hosting cost savings has virtually covered the additional expense for Distil. It pays for itself!"

"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!"

"Our customers had been receiving hundreds of spam emails and sales calls a day as a result of bots scraping our forms. That all stopped once we implemented Distil — it literally just disappeared."

"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.”

"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."

"We were getting load spikes from bad traffic, and when we switched to Distil, the result was very immediate. It did have a positive effect on page load times. We saw an improvement in site performance as our server load went down."

"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."

"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.”
