What do you dislike about the product?
While the Cequnce platform itself is incredibly intuitive, it’s worth noting that the initial implementation requires a solid baseline of networking knowledge. Specifically, when it comes to directing traffic via CloudFront or similar CDNs, you'll want someone with a firm grasp of DNS and routing on hand. However, once that technical foundation is laid, the ease of use within the platform is second to none.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform delivers a rare combination of intuitive design and sophisticated functionality. However, the true differentiator is their Human Capital. The Support and Success teams operate with a degree of precision and commitment that is increasingly rare in the SaaS sector. Eric Potosky, in particular, was instrumental; his strategic guidance and unwavering support were the primary drivers of our successful deployment. I recommend their services without reservation for any organization prioritizing efficiency and reliable partnership.

Top-Tier API Protection with Intuitive, Automated Threat Mitigation

What do you like best about the product?
"Top-tier API protection and bot defense."
Cequence Security gives a comprehensive view of our full API footprint. Unlike traditional WAFs, it genuinely understands the nuances of API traffic rather than treating it like generic web requests. The dashboard is intuitive, and the automated threat mitigation has saved our SOC team countless hours that would otherwise go into manual tuning. I’d highly recommend it for any enterprise that’s scaling its digital services.

What do you dislike about the product?
UI Performance: When running large data queries, the dashboard can lag and response times may become noticeably slow.

The quiet efficiency of this software stopped stealthy bot attacks
Reviewed on Aug 19, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like about Cequence Security is that it identifies legitimate complex user behaviors and automated abuse without causing friction to our real students. An example of this is that it can distinguish a student who can jump in and quickly access various course modules and a bot combing through to gather content. It also provides us with some truly fine-grained details of how attackers are probing our less well known public APIs, enabling us to pre-emptively harden them before they become the route of a successful vulnerability.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took more practical time than we had anticipated to carry out the initial fine tuning in order to differentiate between legitimate power users and advanced automated activity which is specific to our education platform. These also include being sometimes difficult to explain some of the more granular event information in a manner that can make sense of it to non technical team members who may need context when the logs are technical in nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We could see discreet yet ineffective efforts to rig our limited capacity course settings and funnel out whole libraries of digital courseware. This threatened our intellectual property and was a threat to fair access by our real students. The windows of the registrations are now fair and well-organized with the implementation of Cequence Security. We are fully aware as to who is actually consuming our content and who is trying to take advantage of creating our learning environment.

Our APIs are safe now

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Cequence Security instantly detects and blocks sophisticated bot attacks. It has been incredibly effective at stopping those credential stuffing attempts on our login pages. The visibility into our API traffic is also fantastic showing us exactly what's happening. We can even see unknown APIs which is a huge bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the initial setup process for new applications can feel a bit complex. There's a learning curve to fully grasp all the nuanced configuration options. Getting real time reporting dashboards exactly how we want them sometimes takes extra effort. It could be more intuitive to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we were constantly fighting a losing battle against automated attacks and fraud attempts. We spent so much time chasing down fake accounts or compromised logins that slipped through. Now, those persistent threats are largely gone because Cequence handles them automatically. It feels like having a highly effective security team constantly monitoring and blocking the bad stuff 24/7. Our security team can now focus on proactive measures instead of just reacting to incidents.

Finally we are stopping those annoying bots and protecting our customer accounts

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I am actually fond of how Cequence Security blocks account hijacking. Credential stuffing used to be so much but currently, it is almost zero. Their API security is amazing too and filters out all kinds of bad traffic even before it reaches our back end. The actual time detection and blocking ensures that we have an upper hand over the malicious actors. It simply works in the background keeping anything and everything at bay. This offensive protection is a game changer to our customer confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are even times where setup is a little complex and it involves incorporating with all our other systems. Using the detection rules involves quite some time and experience in order to make them just right. We also note the that reporting dashboards could be more user friendly when looking at executive summary. It would not be a significant problem but certainly would be something to take into consideration. All around it is do-able but does have a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There were numerous cases of creating fake accounts and even checkout fraud in terms of credit cards. It was such a challenge to our security and the fraud department who were perpetually on the tail of the incidents. Cequence now auto identifies and prevents these complex attacks in real-time. We have reduced our fraud numbers to a great extent and our human resources are able to concentrate on actual threats. Our customers are also more secure as their accounts are more secure.
