Coinbase Tracer vs. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense

I think that experienced crypto users could benefit from using this as a tool, but that they could maybe benefit from using other analytic software in tandem as well. Also, the market is very down compared to the past couple of years, and it’s hard to know when/if it will peak again. As beginner friendly as this software is, right now, you should back up trend results with other research.

I'd strongly recommend it, but with a few caveats depending on how mature the team is with behavioral based security tools. One of our fintech clients was getting hit with low volume, widely spread login attempts, below our rate limiting thresholds. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense was able to flag abnormal input timings, inconsistent device fingerprinting and high entropy in field population behavior. You can only imagine the wave of downstream account lockouts this saved the client. On the other end we had a client with a real time trading platform using Graphql over websockets. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense wasn't able to tap into that stream natively. we had to reverse engineer a proxy layer to inspect events. It worked but it was clunky and not officially supported

Official support can sometimes take time to reach the right people. However, once you are in contact with the appropriate experts, the support is excellent, as F5 staff are true specialists. On the other hand, we always receive prompt assistance from our local sales team, who typically help us connect with the right people quickly.

Implementation of Distributed Cloud is accomplished a few different ways, it would pay to meet with the F5 team and map out your implementation prior to acquisition to make sure you Infrastructure and Operations teams are aligned to the approach and requirements.

Well, Morningstar doesn’t calculate crypto holdings, so we had to look elsewhere. And while Coinbase Wallet is great, your money gets tied up in some crypto’s that are not publicly traded yet. Analytics really shows the diversification of assists and lets you keep up with your crypto in one place.

Clodflare bot management was our other obvious option for us. We tested it on a staging version of our RFQ platform. It was great for broad traffic filtering but had a hard time with nuanced differences between real subcontractors and low volume bots mimickingt human input whereas that's where F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense thrived
