"We’re pleasing our customers and chasing away the big threat to our business model, all for zero-add to our cost structure.”
"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.”
"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."
"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."
"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.”
