F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense Overview

Editedit
What is F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense?

Bot attacks are difficult to stop—criminals retool to bypass defenses, rapidly solving CAPTCHAs and mimicking human behavior. To stay ahead of bots, F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense (Formerly Shape Security) uses AI to achieve long-term efficacy and zero customer friction. The solution helps to achieve effective bot protection based on analysis of devices and behavioral signals that unmask automation. This gives users the advantage of a network effect as the platform adapts to retooling attempts across thousands of the world’s most highly trafficked apps. XC Cloud Bot Defense protects against a broad set of bot-based attacks including account takeover, carding, inventory hoarding, gift card bots, and scrapers.

"F5 Security Login - Pros and Cons"
What do you like best about F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense?

You can tell F5 is a very secure login application and offers multi-factor authentication. It is easy to know exactly what inputs you need to enter in in order to get into your intended system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense?

I dislike the user interface of F5. It is antiquated and very text heavy. I feel F5 would benefit from doing user research or a re-design of their tool. Additionally, I feel other security platforms such as Duo have updated their security interface more and are gaining in more popularity (though I do acknowledge Duo is more of a MFA tool then an in-house security platform - I am just using this as an example) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
