What do you like best about the product?

DataDome can stop sophisticated bot attacks without affecting real customers. Its false positive rate was very low. It was also very easy to integrate and manage day to day. We love the dashboards. We can see what is happening, especially with AI and agentic traffic.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing! We are very happy with the solution and support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It primarily stops crawlers from scraping our data, but it also helps prevent fake account creation, card testing, and account takeover attempts. It also provides visibility into AI and agentic traffic. We can allow, block, or manage that traffic based on intent.

Strong, competent team with solid bot-detection capabilities.

It’s a bit on the expensive side, and the false positives can be irritating for some users when they occur.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We benefit a lot from the anti-crawling and scraping protection.

What do you like best about the product?

Adding DataDome to our website made a significant difference and drastically reduced the number of server requests. This helped address one of our major challenges: the massive amount of bot traffic accessing our websites.

The integration of DataDome through a third-party partner was extremely simple and fast, which greatly eased the deployment and onboarding of the solution. The configuration process was also clear and efficient, and the discovery phase was particularly valuable in helping us understand our traffic and identify the main areas of concern.

With the detailed reporting available in the back office, I can easily get a clear and comprehensive view of our bot traffic, with detailed graphs, custom queries, and other useful insights. We are also able to effectively stop the crawling we were experiencing, resulting in a significant improvement in performance.

From an ROI perspective, the impact has been particularly valuable. By significantly reducing unwanted bot traffic and server requests, DataDome has helped us optimize our infrastructure usage and reduce the resources dedicated to handling this traffic. This translates into both performance gains and cost savings, while allowing our infrastructure to focus on legitimate users and business-critical traffic.

Another important benefit is the very low false-positive rate, which means there has been virtually no negative impact on our legitimate human users. The protection remains transparent to them.

DataDome’s back office also provides valuable metrics that help us better understand our traffic and the threats we are facing, including attack timelines, scraping, scalping, credential stuffing, and other types of malicious activity. These insights are extremely valuable not only for identifying and mitigating threats, but also for quantifying the impact of bot traffic and demonstrating the business value of the solution. The clear UI helps us in this way, to understand what to block and what not to, and I am using those graphics and views every day now.

Overall, DataDome has helped us improve performance, reduce unnecessary infrastructure consumption, better understand our traffic, and ultimately generate a great ROI for us.

What do you dislike about the product?

One area for improvement would be the integration of more AI-powered tools to enhance the experience, particularly by providing intelligent recommendations for configuration, blocking rules, and other security settings. So far it's not needed for a right and good functioning of Datadome.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before integrating DataDome, we were dealing with aggressive crawling across our websites. DataDome helped us identify this illegitimate traffic and block it when needed.

After the solution was activated and correctly configured, the problem was resolved. DataDome now lets us continuously monitor our traffic and proactively stop new crawling attempts, attacks, and other malicious activity before they can affect our infrastructure.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about DataDome Bot Protect is its ability to prevent credential stuffing and database abuse.

What do you dislike about the product?

The Account Protect feature generates too many false positives, causing some legitimate users to be flagged incorrectly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

DataDome Bot Protect provides a critical layer of protection that prevents our servers from being overwhelmed by scrapers, credential stuffing attacks, and other malicious automated traffic. This allows us to maintain service availability, reduce infrastructure costs, and ensure a better experience for legitimate users.

I find that DataDome works pretty good, and I can reliably trust it. The support is great and has been really helpful in times when we've been hit hard by bot attacks. Even when attacks weren't immediately detected, their support managed to find a way to block more sophisticated attacks quickly. The initial setup was very easy.

I would like the UI experience to be better, particularly the sorting of the endpoints. I'd prefer if i could group them somehow.
