55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"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."

"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 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."

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

"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."

"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’re confident Distil is blocking bots—not genuine customers. And with price sensitivity being key, we’re assured that automated extraction agents are stopped cold."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

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

"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."
