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.”

"Distil is intelligently updating with new bot definitions. So, as a solutions architect, I don't need to worry about it. Bots never see my site and never steal my data and they never place a load on my servers."

"The most exciting feature of Distil is definitely the peace of mind it gives you, its not really feature its more of a result, but when you are focused on other things you don't want to spend time playing IP whack-a-mole."

"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."

"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.”

"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."

"We need Distil to keep our content from being stolen. Great product that is simple to use and configure."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“At a reasonable monthly cost, Distil Networks keeps the bad guys off of our website and lets the true consumer make use of our site. Additionally, the filtering on our website is not only useful for our own site’s performance, but the data gathered from blocking the ‘bad guys’ increases security for the entire customer community.”

"We compared different anti-bot solutions on separate websites. Distil blocked a far greater percentage of bad bots—more than 30%—than the other solutions we tried. Their machine learning capabilities fight the bots in a way that manual blocking could never keep up with."
