Read full review F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense is well suited for large Enterprises that face advanced bot attacks from Web Scraping, Credential Stuffing, Carding/Credit Card Stuffing, Fake Account Creation, and more where the collection of the Client-Side signals helps clearly show if the attackers are telling lies vs. other bot solutions that place a lot of the responsibility on their customers to tune bot scores.
Read full review Pros The real-time notifications are one of the best features of ClickGUARD for me. Automatic malicious click deflection is also a feature that I appreciate. There have been instances where a large number of clicks were made, but the resulting conversions were much below expectations.

Read full review Cons The one thing I've noticed that I believe is a disadvantage would have to be the lack of support on weekends or holidays which is understandable but at the same time, I'm sure people expect to still be supported right around the clock if that is what is advertised. Read full review On a technical side, we've had a lot of deployment issues. This is not a one-sprint solution. We ran into undocumented failure modes and had to rely on L2 and L3 customer support, delaying troubleshooting significantly [in our experience]. Accurate log ingestion is a larger challenge than one would want in a security tool. Read full review Support Rating I actually haven't found the need to use their customer support as yet but I'm sure that they are knowledgable and would assist any way they can.
Read full review Support is quick to respond. They help guide you through any issues you have and ensure everything has been resolved before disconnecting. Wait times can vary, but it depends on the time of day. Eventually, excellent support is reached, and you can learn a few things from them as well.
Read full review Implementation Rating F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense and our partners are great at helping us with in-depth Traffic Analysis of protected endpoints first in Monitoring Mode. After 7-14 days of Traffic Analysis/False Positive reviews, we can clearly tell when we are ready to place protected endpoints into Mitigation Mode.

PPC Protect , now known as Lunio. we side by side user lunio as well and only problem with lunio was pricing. no doubt lunio has better feature set to stack against ClickGaurd but we didn't required that many features to begin with. ClickGaurd is simple solution for us and we are planning to explore it full before moving to any other platform

Read full review Return on Investment Prior to acquiring Clickguard, I wasn't even able to trust the numbers I was seeing and my money was being wasted. Since getting this app, there has been a total turn around in conversions, and sales have increased. Read full review [F5] Shape [Security] established a clear negative trend line in bot traffic to our retail site. [F5] Shape [Security's] anti-automation has moved our business out of reach for ROI for attackers. So far, [F5] Shape [Security] has not caused any incidents as a technology, and has stifled attacks which would have certainly landed as a Sev 2 without this protection. Read full review ScreenShots
