Radware Bot Manager Reviews

We use this solution for bot mitigation. We run a dedicated server to manage a high-traffic website that draws a lot of attention from bots.

Bots have become more prevalent and insidious over the years. We use ShieldSquare as a gateway to filter traffic, letting the good bots and real users in while keeping the bad bots out. There are webmasters who do this manually, but we don't want to spend our time doing that kind of whack-a-mole. The other big upside is in preventing scrappers. We publish a lot of original content, and without this protection, there is a feeding frenzy on it that could result in search engines listing the scrapper sites higher with our own content.

The reporting is excellent, providing a nice overview of what's coming at us. Along with Google analytics, it helps us get an understanding of our traffic. We've also found the whitelist feature handy, which allows us to crawl our own site without being blocked.

This is always evolving, but somehow quarantining bots or sticking them in a honeypot so they can't pound the API would be helpful. The bots, of course, are always evolving.

I have been using this solution for about eight years.

I haven't had a problem with any downtime.

We've had to scale it up, and it was not a problem.

It's been excellent. The recent support was very helpful.

We did this ourselves using firewalls and other tools, but it proved a losing battle.

The initial setup for us was a long time ago. I remember it requiring a bit of effort, but getting the help we needed.

We implemented this solution in-house.

I can't provide a solid number, but for what we save in resources and what we get from listing protection, it is certainly worth it.

We didn't hit any traps. This company has been very honest and helpful. I'd suggest letting them make recommendations.

We evaluated solutions a while ago, but I think we looked into Incapsula and a few others.

They've been great during transitions, like when we've had to move servers. Thye provided excellent support. They're very tenacious about getting problems solved, even when it means digging deep.

Reducing Price and Content Scraping and at the same time freeing server resources and offering a better user experience

The ShieldSquare bot mitigation solution helps us to avert product and price scraping attempts by malicious bots. They not only help us in eliminate the bot attacks, but they also provide us with comprehensive reports on bots intent and their activity on our site. ShieldSquare ensured that genuine users are not affected in the complete process.

We were confronting bots that were illegally scraping price and product listing on our website. We were finding it difficult to filter and eliminate the highly sophisticated bots because of their continually changing approaches. After evaluating several solutions, we decided to deploy ShieldSquare’s non-intrusive API based bot mitigation solution. ShieldSquare helped us in averting the scraping attempts by bad bots and provided us with the detailed analytics of bot traffic on our site.

There is very little to improve as the package is complete as in it does everything required of it. Only improvements could be made with the reporting down to a page level.

No issues.

No issues.

All good.

We used our own internal system which could not cope with the volume of bots hitting our site.

Simple.

In-house.

Set up was a breeze, cost is superb.

No.
