Radware Bot Manager Valuable Features

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 Bot Manager portal is very easy to use now. When we first started, it was a separate portal. It was different. It's all wrapped into one now, so it's easy to use.

Bot Manager’s ability to detect and mitigate bots in real-time is very good. It has been very effective. We definitely see different bot types. It has done a good job of stopping them. We do get alerts that something has occurred, so it's an effective service.

The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack. For example, the solution indicates whether it is a first or second-generation bot, allowing us to assess the level of sophistication of the attack. Additionally, we can view the public IP and region from which the attack originated. These are the most valuable features. I also appreciate the dashboard, which allows me to see how many attacks occur daily, as we are typically attacked daily.

The Bot Manager portal is very user-friendly. I often forget which portal is for the application firewall and which one is for the Bot Manager. It would be beneficial if Radware unified these into one portal or one URL with links to everything. Once we get there, it is easy to use and the graphics are intuitive. We can see the strengths of the attacks and a list of our protected applications. The Bot Manager portal is user-friendly, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing.

The integration with Radware Cloud WAF is extremely easy.

Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots. Bot Manager provides comprehensive coverage of websites, mobile applications, and APIs. It also enables us to automate and customize policies. With Radware, we can deliver a better user experience and drive more ROI from application-specific protection. 

The solution's management portal was a little difficult initially, but I could learn it in a few weeks. It's fine once everything is streamlined and configured. It's effective at detecting and mitigating bots in real time. 

We've used the solution's crypto-mitigation algorithm a few times but not frequently. It has helped us prevent some attacks. The user experience improved significantly since we implemented the solution. Our users are happy with it.

I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website. The Radware solutions like DLP and AppWall work together effectively to prevent any attempted attack. The response is automated and occurs in real-time. The management and reporting features are easy to use.

Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior.

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. It reacts pretty fast. We have never actually monitored whether it takes seconds or minutes, but it reacts, when monitoring, and deactivates bots. It takes some time because it has to learn the heuristic to determine whether or not it is a bad bot, but that is very acceptable to us.

Also, the Bot Manager portal is very easy to use. The user experience is good, with everything presented simply and intuitively.

Works

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.

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.
