Used in cybersecurity to block traffic when it exceeds the threshold value
We are DataDome in SOC for cybersecurity. We use the solution to perform traffic analysis on any website or server to see whether there is a lot or little traffic The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis. Suppose any customer website has a 1,000 threshold value per minute. If…

It has an advantage over other solutions because it recognizes automated processes much more quickly
I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. It allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much quicker that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly. Almost all of our clients use the crypto mitigation algorithm. It is much more efficient because it’s very flat and plain when not encrypted. When we implemented it, the algorithm helped reduce the number of attacks on our clients' applications. With this type of solution, the attacker typically gives up after attempting because it doesn't affect the application. It has reduced the number of attempts by 30 to 40 percent.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"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 support from Radware is excellent."
"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."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"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."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
 

Cons

"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is fairly priced."
"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."
"We negotiated a decent price with Radware that fits into our budget. It's a five-year license, so we get a good price and don't need to renew for several years."
