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

"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"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 solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"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."
"The ShieldSquare bot mitigation solution helps us to avert product and price scraping attempts by malicious bots, and they not only help us eliminate the bot attacks, but they also provide us with comprehensive reports on bots intent and their activity on our site while ensuring that genuine users are not affected in the complete process."
"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."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"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."
 

Cons

"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Only improvements could be made with the reporting down to a page level."
"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."
"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."
"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."
"It is fairly priced."
"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."
