"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."
"The Distil service seemed like the stuff of magic. It has proven to be so."
"Distil has allowed me to focus somewhere else. It's totally eradicated our bot issues. Sometimes, I forget it's in place because it's doing such a good job."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We need Distil to keep our content from being stolen. Great product that is simple to use and configure."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
