55 Distil Networks Testimonials

“Before Distil, we were spending 20 to 30 hours a week investigating and blocking bots in our Web Application Firewalls. Now, it’s all automated.”

"Competitive data mining for ticket price and inventory was a constant threat. Not only was Distil was able to help us identify and block the bots performing this scraping, they also helped us greatly reduce transaction fraud and account takeovers."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

“One scraper had built their entire business around scraping one of our airline customers. In an attempt to evade detection, they’d change cloud providers and cycle through hundreds of IP addresses. Distil was still able to block them outright, because Distil isn’t based on blocking IP addresses, but rather on machine learning algorithms and device fingerprinting. With Distil, it’s like having an expert data science team on hand for frontline support. These guys live and breathe bots every day, so they’re really good at solving the issues impacting our airline customers.”

"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."

"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."

"I told them that we have malicious attacks against our system, causing our system to go down. We need to do something, and I explained that Distil could solve our problems."

“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.”

“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.

"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."

"If someone comes in and steals our data through scraping, we don’t know exactly what they do with the data. They would probably resell it to their own customers, so they would make a profit on our data—and they don’t pay a cent to us to do that. Of course, that’s totally illegal. The big value of the Distil software is that it allows us to block these people, so we don’t lose our data or the revenue from selling it."

"We wanted something that would run unattended and automatically stop the bots. We were astounded by the amount bad bots that are available o the Internet and try to access our datas. Distil just works."
