DataDome Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

Flexible tools and deployment, good reporting, great support, transparent pricing

Nothing significant. More engineers in US timezone would help.

Before DataDome, we were using Funcaptcha, a solution which is great at preventing bot registrations, but that's all. DataDome helped us remove the captcha solution almost entirely, and instead helps us prevent bot attacks and phony registrations often well before they even see a registration form. This has resulted in far less time on our end having to manage our clients' frustrations due to bots and botnets, meaning our application has a higher quality of delivery than our competitors.

Unless you understand the entirety of the solution, your implementation can leave gaps for bots to get through, or an incorrect configuration resulting in hours of frustration. Make sure you work closely with the DataDome team in getting it setup correctly to begin with.

La disponibilité et réactivité du support DataDome ainsi que de l'équipe technique.

Le fait que beaucoup de Bots ne sont pas détectés par la solution DataDome lors des grands lancements. Difficile de trouver le juste milieu pour bloquer tous les bots et laisser passer les clients légitimes.

- Supports both client-side & server-side detection - Dashboard is information dense - Very knowledgeable technical team (they're fantastic) - All other products in this space are egregiously expensive, Datadome most reasonably priced We hired a scraping expert to adversarially test the various bot prevention solutions (PeremiterX, Radware, etc.) and Datadome did as good or better than the other options that are 10x the price

Learnt this the hard way: bot solutions will catch a lot of low-level scrapers crawling the web but they're not particularly effective against targeted bots. An adversary writing a Headless Chrome-powered bot with builtin evasive tactics turned on (e.g. puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth plugin) and basic attempts at mimicking user behavior will be able to bypass all the bot protection solutions out there (including Datadome) if that's your only prevention. We were only effective in preventing bots by supplementing Datadome with custom rules (rate limiting) and account flagging built in our stack.

The thing we like the most is the fact that it's fire-and-forget. Once it's set up and working, it only requires minimal interaction from users (whitelists, etc.).

No dislikes, but we would love to see some collaboration with AWS, so that DataDome can offer this type of protection at the AWS Load Balancers level.
