55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"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."

"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.”

"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."

"In the last five months, we’ve hit our look-to-book targets and have not had to worry about the possibility of overage charges. That’s the first time in three years we’ve been able to make our look-to-book ratio."

"Sophisticated bots are constantly attacking companies like ours. The Distil Analyst Managed Services team has spent days counteracting particular bots --- which is much better than us having to do that on our own."

“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.

"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."

"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."

"GuideStar is the world’s largest source of information of nonprofit organizations. We have collected and curated billions of data points on nonprofit organizations and we needed a way to ensure our data was being used in a way that is consistent with our vision of driving social innovation and change. Distil has the ability to fingerprint bots, which gives us the ability to block by signature, not just by IP address."

"We have a handful of competitors that cause us a lot of headaches. With Distil, we’ve stopped them from scraping our data, which protects our competitive advantage. In addition, we’ve reduced the load by 22%, and as a result, our customers experience faster response times."

"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!"

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

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

"With Distil, we can have our cake and eat it, too. We’re protecting our content from thieves and we reduced our infrastructure costs at the same time. For DevOps, this was like pressing the Easy Button."

"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."
