DataDome protects websites and apps from bots and online fraud by serving as bot protection and fraud prevention. It stops bad bots, allows good bots, and guards against fake account creation, ticket or product holding, payment fraud, and data scraping. Our product pages were aggressively scraped by bots, and login endpoints faced credential stuffing. I integrated DataDome at the edge in front of our sites, which started analyzing incoming traffic in real-time, automatically blocking and challenging suspicious requests. As a result, scraping traffic dropped significantly, and login attack attempts were filtered before reaching our back end, resulting in fewer fake accounts and customer complaints about account takeovers. DataDome's dashboard allows us to check the bots versus human traffic breakdown and review blocked requests, eliminating the need for manual investigation of traffic spikes.

The best features in DataDome include AI-powered bot detection, which is crucial for real-time protection and high accuracy with low friction. It offers protection against multiple attack types, full visibility, and an analytics dashboard that supports scalability and performance.
The AI-powered real-time bot detection feature is relied upon daily as it eliminates the need for constant manual intervention, saving us from manually digging through logs and writing custom rules to address sudden traffic spikes, login failures, and slower response times. With fewer security incidents, reduced infrastructure load, and cleaner analytics, I noticed an improved user experience and time saved across teams during high-risk times.

Excellent Bot Protection with Personalized Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like that DataDome does a good job preventing DDOS and scraping attacks on our website, and I was impressed with how well their models detect malicious traffic. I appreciate the three bot prevention mechanisms, which are less to more invasive depending on the threat levels, and the really nice bot protection experiences like interstitial, slide captchas, and hard blocks. The onboarding process was very nice, and our customer support rep is diligent in getting things up and running. Tuning alerts is something they've been very helpful with. The initial setup was very straightforward, and they came up with a custom solution to transfer from one vendor to another without dropping bot protection.
What do you dislike about the product?
We tried their other products, such as Login Protect, and found it did not do a great job with our company's use case. For Bot Protect, while they do a good job with general traffic, there was at least a month or two where we had to comb our own traffic and find spikes, and inform them about it. Ultimately, they don't really understand your traffic, or how people use your website and need a lot of guidance and personal investment to make sure it's working well, but it's generally worth the effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find DataDome effectively prevents DDOS and scraping attacks on our website. Their models detect malicious traffic well, providing user-friendly bot protection like interstitials and captchas. Tuning alerts has been straightforward with their diligent support.

Very convenient UI, easy to configure things
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to learn a lot in first time using it, not easy to onboard
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Catching malicious attacks and its important tool for us.
Easy Deployment, Seamless Integration, and Strong Visibility Into Threats
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is also easy to deploy and integrates well across websites, apps, and APIs, giving consistent protection across all channels. On top of that, the visibility and analytics it provides make it easy to understand traffic patterns and respond quickly to emerging threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of DataDome is that its strict bot detection can occasionally impact legitimate users, leading to false positives and added friction if not carefully tuned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataDome is solving the problem of malicious bot traffic—such as scraping, credential stuffing, and automated attacks—that can impact site performance, security, and customer experience. By filtering out this traffic in real time, it protects our platforms from abuse, reduces the risk of account takeovers, and helps maintain fast, reliable service for genuine users.
Easy to implement and maintain, with a user-friendly interface and fast support
What do you like best about the product?
It is a tool that does not require constant interaction, easy to implement and even easier to maintain. There are no performance issues and it has a user-friendly interface. Support is quick when needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We couldn't implement an integration with Splunk and the price could be better, given our context.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datadome allows mitigating attempts of access by non-human users, also known as robots, on our web pages.
Inclusive Bot Detection with Room for Customization
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that DataDome's challenges are accessible, allowing users with visual impairments to prove they are human. I like that no good user is excluded from successfully proving that they are a human, while bots are kept prevented from accessing our platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could expose more utils to allow modifying the design of the challenges more freely ourselves. Right now design modification is possible but DataDome team has to be involved and put effort too, while it would be quicker and easier if we wouldn't have to ask them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DataDome catches bots that cause harm and ensures accessibility of challenges for users with visual impairments, allowing genuine users to prove they are human while keeping bots out.

Effective DDOS Defense with Easy Admin Controls
What do you like best about the product?
I like DataDome because it has an easy to use admin panel. It's straightforward to understand the attack source and create exception rules. I also appreciate that it has 'automatic' exclusions for known helpful bots. The initial setup was easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that DataDome lacks a proactive security review feature. It's very easy to set up a compromising exception rule. I wish there was an AI review of rules users add to the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DataDome for DDOS protection. It identifies complex malicious threats from multiple IPs and has an easy-to-use admin panel, which helps understand attack sources and create exception rules. I like its 'automatic' exclusions for known helpful bots.
