Rajesh Podishetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Fraud controls have protected patient portals and now support trusted digital healthcare access
Arkose can be improved in several ways. Integration complexity requires alignment with healthcare IT systems, which is an area where Arkose is currently lagging. There is a need to balance security versus patient experience, as overly strict controls frustrate legitimate users who want to access the patient portal without excessive restrictions. Evolving threats present another challenge. Every day, fraudsters use generative AI to mimic human behavior, which requires Arkose to continually improve its threat detection. Since Arkose handles different systems that need to be controlled over time, there should be regular audits to determine which features need adjustment. Cost-wise, the platform requires improvement, as there is significant cost involved and considerable manual intervention needed, which should be brought into the AI automation. On an everyday basis, patient login verification sometimes experiences delays when internet issues occur, causing patients to wait long in queue. Insurance claims validation does not always happen easily due to application environment downtime. These operational improvements need to be addressed in Arkose Labs systems.

Boosts efficiency and reduces operational costs with effective IP tracking
The best features of Radware Bot Manager, as a client, include the reporting because it is easy to understand, easy to read, and easy to get developers or system engineers to understand what they need to implement to secure either a web form or an API, anything similar to that. Radware Bot Manager has positively impacted our organization because we had masses of scans that took place against certain addresses, allowing us to identify those either good or bad. For instance, when the marketing team contacted a scraping company to get more clicks to the website without informing the technical team, we were able to block the source IP address and the marketing team then started collaborating with the development and operational teams to ensure that the correct information is passed on to engineers to get it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I also like that they challenge crawling in CAPTCHA for mobile. This is good compared to the traditional way."
"Radware Bot Manager has positively impacted our organization because we had masses of scans that took place against certain addresses, allowing us to identify those either good or bad."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"The support from Radware is excellent."
"I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. If it allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much more quickly that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
 

Cons

"Integration complexity requires alignment with healthcare IT systems, which is an area where Arkose is currently lagging."
"Arkose need to provide something for testing."
"While the interface is simple, they could add the ability to upload lists of IPs in an Excel spreadsheet. If there are two or three IPs, it's easy to add them. You have a graphical option to log in and register your IP, but if you want to upload 50 IPs, it becomes more complicated because there are 50 steps. Also, Radware could simplify the implementation of SDK, which is a bit complicated. Radware should work on making the SDK part more efficient."
"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"Maybe people who are new to it, or haven't used anything similar before, might say that the configuration is a bit difficult unless you're a technical person who understands the flow or the URL environment."
"Only improvements could be made with the reporting down to a page level."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is fairly priced."

"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."
