    Incredibly powerful product suite for bots and scraping threats

    5.0
    Mar 27, 2024
    We have been really impressed with Cequence since bringing them onboard to help us combat some incredibly sophisticated and motivated bot traffic. They quickly got up to speed with the requirements of our business and platform, and the output of their threat detection team has increased exponentially the more familiar they become with our business model. Their ability to mitigate traffic and provide different experiences based on risk, as opposed to merely blocking traffic, has meant that we have been able to complement their services with our own verification features to reduce the impact of bot detection on legitimate users.
