Amazing for bot protection and mitigation

It's been great for protecting WordPress websites with quality bot protection. We saw 8% of the visits come from bots and now they're zero. No more problems with resources hitting the maximum even on limited hosting.

PROS

I really love how this integrates with different technologies so you can protect static and dynamic sites with a few clicks.

CONS

You can fine tune it but it's a manual and time consuming process

Reason for choosing CloudFilt

Because of the lower pricing and ease of use. And if course the quality of the protection

Great software protector against bad bots & spam

PROS

I bought this tool primarily to stop bad bots and 2nd reason to stop spam over contact forms on the websites we built. Cloudfilt does both tasks very successfully (although more on the stopping bad bots side), and my team and I are very pleased with it.

CONS

Spams over contact forms sometimes goes through, so it could/should be improved.

Reason for choosing CloudFilt

Because CloudFilt had a Life Time Deal, and that other tool didn't.

Use it for a year - Nice to have product

It does the job, bot detection and mitigation are good capabilities and work as expected, the product needs constant tuning as any other bot/waf solution.

PROS

Bot detection and mitigation techniques are always improving, it's easy to use and integrate

CONS

Sometimes it can screw a website if it's not implemented correctly, customer support might be not the beast on free and pro tiers

Reason for choosing CloudFilt

Good pricing for our SMB clients

A good way to protect the site from unwanted bots and hackers

It's been good, I've used in on WordPress and non-wp sites with good results. One of the thing I wish they had (but to be fair it's ALL WAF and similar systems) is a huge database of trusted IP's to automatically add to their services, like all the SaaS that provide services, because in more than one occasion I had to go and add ip's to avoid new services I add from being blocked.

PROS

It's extremely easy to use; you just need to add the site to the platform, generate the code and paste it (or use their plugin for WordPress)

CONS

I wish the blocking page had geolocation to display the correct language automatically, as well as allowing to "whitelabel" it with our own logo and messages.

Vendor Response

Hi David, Thank you for your review, For the languages, it's already been done for two months now :) As for the customization of the blocking page, it is in progress : https://trello.com/b/5A5wFZU3/cloudfilts-public-roadmap

A solution to get rid off unwanted traffic

I manage three WordPress websites and CloudFilt is a good complement to WordFence. I don’t have anymore spam comments or crappy bots going to them. The detection rate is very good. CloudFilt team is a serious one who keeps constantly their product up to date.

PROS

When you have a website, you want to protect it against bots, spam and others threat that are on Internet. I like the simplicity of installation on my WordPress sites. My site is secured in minutes.

CONS

Maybe, the possibility to whitelist some old (older than one month) bot detection, in case of false positive (rarely the case).

Keeps the bots out

Overall it does what it says on the tin, but sometimes a bit too aggressively. The verification process is also quite slow, further aggravating real users. However, if you have a bad bot problem as we do, I'd recommend CloudFilt.

PROS

I like CloudFilt because it does a good job of keeping the bots out.

CONS

We do get complaints from real users about getting stuck in the CloudFilt trap. Unfortunately, when I logged a ticket with CloudFilt about this they stopped responding after initial contact :(

Intelligent protection against bots and malicious users

We have successfully eliminated spam submissions on various sites that we run. Users have given very positive feedback after we implemented CloudFilt.

PROS

We use CloudFilt to protect client sites against malicious and spam requests. This works incredibly well and is completely frictionless for legitimate users.

CONS

There is nothing that I dislike about the solution.

Reason for choosing CloudFilt

Easier to implement with the forms that we are using.

Works well

PROS

Works well and was easy to set up. Got it from AppSumo and very happy I did. Set up quickly and efficiently with a WP plugin

CONS

It sometimes is overly aggressive and blocks real people. When you try to get through as a real person, the human verification system often does not work. I've had to basically disable the plugin on some sites because it was blocking real people. People have let me know they had problems getting in even when whitelisted, but that could have been a caching problem. Still, it's a very good system for blocking bot traffic.

Reason for choosing CloudFilt

Ease of set up, lifetime deal from AppSumo

Vendor Response

Thank you Devan for your review, CloudFilt analyzes the overall behavior of the user on the client websites, and when it blocks it displays a page for this with a system that analyzes whether it is a human or not. Our only goal is to block bad bots, even when they try to pretend to be normal users, when they want to attack you.

Stop illegal access/downloading to online software program.

PROS

Easy to see where the server is being targeted. Shows which Joomla pages are being accessed.

CONS

Not that I can think of except, sometimes it treats google bots as threats.

Vendor Response

Thank you john for your review. The google/bing... bots are very important to our customers and are considered legitimate and are never blocked. However, bad bots that try to impersonate google are automatically blocked and this is what makes CloudFilt so successful.
