Now our team can finally proactively block threats and bot attacks!
What do you like best about the product?
The good part of Cequence Security that I have most appreciated is how well it is in identifying multiple threat types including bots and app threats. It works well with other systems that we have in place now like our SIEM so that in real time we are getting threat information without adding to our workload. It’s particularly useful because it doesn’t generate many false positives, and this helped to enhance our security as well as our response time.
What do you dislike about the product?
One problem with Cequence Security is it is hard to dial in the right amount of specificity for more specific or uncommon threats. It’s good for threat detection in the broad but adjusting some things for niche security concerns was hard. This sometimes results in either losing the value of alerts or creating so much noise that it hinders our speed to respond to critical events. It also works with other tools, but while the sync is a bit faster between platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The protection of our web applications using Cequence Security has been a game changer, and especially in the case of zeroing out automated bot attacks. This allows us to remediate vulnerabilities before they become major headaches for our web traffic and leaves it as secure as possible. It automates much of the threat detection such that our team can focus our effort on higher priority tasks than burking in alerts. Reducing manual input in security tasks and significantly increasing operational efficiency.
The peace of mind we needed in our digital world
What do you like best about the product?
I am really fond of how Cequence Security solves the problem of protecting our APIs and web applications. This is a game changer for us because it can detect and mitigate automated attacks in real time. This used to take us so much time from monitoring and responding to security incidents, now we can do other things. What’s more, the platform’s machine learning is helping us save time and resources by learning from new threats and adapting to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
So do not take me wrong, I still believe that Cequence Security is a great tool I still think the interface can be confusing sometimes. So as you can probably imagine it gets very confusing when one is trying to navigate in between all the features and sub features. Furthermore, as with any kind of system integration, there have been one or two incidences where the system did not entirely harmonize with other security appliances that we employ hence leading to a slightly disrupted operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence Security helped us solve our automatic threats and protect our APIs and web applications. Our platform deployment saved us many hours following up on security alerts and later blocking potentially dangerous IP addresses. Since using Cequence Security's automatic threat monitoring our security incidents decreased while allowing us to focus our time on other essential work. The platform made our team more productive and provides real security reassurance.
Protecting web applications from automated threats has never been easier!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Cequence Security is that it provides all round protection to web applications against all kind of cyber threats. What has been critically important in securing our online services is that the platform does a great job detecting and thwarting automated attacks like bots. I also like how smoothly it fits within our existing security setup: the simple connection to our SIEM system so we can centralize security monitoring and incident response.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cequence Security may be slightly cumbersome to set up initially in some areas particularly when defining the rules to use in fighting certain threats. The software, on the other hand, is rather strong and valuable but it did take some time to get them optimized. Also, the reporting features can be more realized and they are simple in use. It becomes slightly difficult to retrieve detailed information should this be required and this at times makes our response rates relatively slow during an incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence Security has been something of a lifeline to counteract these bot driven attacks that threatened our services. This means that a number of various fraud attempts have been successfully detected and prevented and out systems remain operational without the need for constant interference of our security specialists. There are now fewer issues that require our attention on the operational level, which in turn allowed for increasing attention to security and implementing more preventive systems.
Effective measures for advanced cyber threats
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way that Cequence Security always protects us from advanced attacks, without overwhelming us with too much noise around the alerts. The software is always updated, and the repeated updates ensure the software is always reliable enough to stay ahead of new attack methods. Its resource efficiency impressed me as it doesn’t interfere with our systems or screw up workflows – a great thing for a busy environment. That’s reliable and quietly gets the job done in the background.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one downside of Cequence Security is that there is no straightforward communication between platforms on a single dashboard. Some parts are not as clear as others when trying to fix a potential threat, which is why it can take additional time to get the details worked out. Because we’re trying to interpret the data, this sometimes slows down decision making. Explanation or contextual insights would be provided better way for making quick and confident act when a time sensitive issue arises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In many ways, Cequence Security has really done a good job at making the proverbial problems stemming from unwanted traffic or malicious activities as minimal as possible. That's why it is enabling a safer environment for our operations so we can operate with growth without constant fear. It prevents attacks early thus reducing stress for our team and keeping things going smoothly. We are able to focus on delivering better results, unaffected by security concerns and become more productive and confident.
Review from Leading Beauty Retailer Digital Operations
What do you like best about the product?
Cequence has been able to protect our Ecommerce website from bad actors and threats that are out there for the past 6-7 years, so we can focus on delivering exceptional experiences to our Guests. We know in this modern era, bad actors and threats are always a notch up and come with suphosticated attack patterns. Cequence has been partnering very well with our own internal Risk and Security team and also with our Operations teams seamlessly. We adopted Cequence very early on. The implementation was smooth and they also supported us through our Digital Transformation journey when we moved from On Prem implementation to Cloud. They bring constant changes and innovation to their platform whcih help us stay upto date in this space.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of having Cequence in our Ecom website traffic flow is that they are inline between our CDN and Cloud Layer, especially since they are deployed in a different cloud provider than ours. We would have preferred for them to be more closely located in the same Public Cloud provider as us and in the same region. Also another major concern is the false positives that occurs at times. Totally understand the complexity, but would be nice if the systems can reduce the false positives to NIL :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence is providing us with Bot Detection and Mitigation solutions for our Digital/Ecommerce Website and App.
A Core Part of Our Security Toolkit
What do you like best about the product?
Cequence Security has become a core part of our cybersecurity toolkit. It keeps our APIs secure without adding extra work, and it just works seamlessly in the background. The platform adapts quickly to new threats, so we’re always confident that our applications are protected. It’s reliable, efficient, and lets us focus on other priorities knowing our security is covered. We’d recommend Cequence to anyone looking for dependable, straightforward API security.

What other advice do I have?
Compliance with standards like those in Europe often requires ensuring that APIs adhere to OAuth and other security protocols. Many organizations need to verify that their APIs meet these compliance requirements. We can include information about where an API was first recorded and create a detailed chart. Some competitors already offer this feature.
It is simple to integrate.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
