The thing I like about Cequence Security is that it identifies legitimate complex user behaviors and automated abuse without causing friction to our real students. An example of this is that it can distinguish a student who can jump in and quickly access various course modules and a bot combing through to gather content. It also provides us with some truly fine-grained details of how attackers are probing our less well known public APIs, enabling us to pre-emptively harden them before they become the route of a successful vulnerability.

It took more practical time than we had anticipated to carry out the initial fine tuning in order to differentiate between legitimate power users and advanced automated activity which is specific to our education platform. These also include being sometimes difficult to explain some of the more granular event information in a manner that can make sense of it to non technical team members who may need context when the logs are technical in nature.

I really like how Cequence Security instantly detects and blocks sophisticated bot attacks. It has been incredibly effective at stopping those credential stuffing attempts on our login pages. The visibility into our API traffic is also fantastic showing us exactly what's happening. We can even see unknown APIs which is a huge bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the initial setup process for new applications can feel a bit complex. There's a learning curve to fully grasp all the nuanced configuration options. Getting real time reporting dashboards exactly how we want them sometimes takes extra effort. It could be more intuitive to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am actually fond of how Cequence Security blocks account hijacking. Credential stuffing used to be so much but currently, it is almost zero. Their API security is amazing too and filters out all kinds of bad traffic even before it reaches our back end. The actual time detection and blocking ensures that we have an upper hand over the malicious actors. It simply works in the background keeping anything and everything at bay. This offensive protection is a game changer to our customer confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are even times where setup is a little complex and it involves incorporating with all our other systems. Using the detection rules involves quite some time and experience in order to make them just right. We also note the that reporting dashboards could be more user friendly when looking at executive summary. It would not be a significant problem but certainly would be something to take into consideration. All around it is do-able but does have a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cequence Security is its powerful ability to detect and mitigate sophisticated bot attacks, especially things like credential stuffing and account takeover attempts. It's not just blocking simple scripts it catches the tricky ones that mimic human behavior, which is crucial for protecting user accounts. The other standout feature is the comprehensive API discovery and inventory capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One challenge with Cequence Security is the initial setup and fine tuning of detection and mitigation policies. Getting the balance right requires some expertise and ongoing adjustments to ensure you're blocking bad traffic without impacting legitimate users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Cequence Security's comprehensive approach to API security and bot management. The API discovery feature is fantastic; it automatically maps out all our APIs, including undocumented ones, which gives us critical visibility into potential attack surfaces we didn't even know existed. Their sophisticated bot defense is another major win; it accurately identifies and stops advanced malicious bots that simple WAFs miss, protecting our applications from scraping, account takeovers, and fraudulent activity. It feels like a robust layer specifically designed for today's complex application threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the initial setup and fine-tuning, which can be quite complex and requires significant technical expertise. While the platform is powerful, the dashboard can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming with the amount of data presented. Getting very specific, customized reports tailored for different stakeholders can also take some effort to configure properly. It's definitely a solution that needs dedicated resources for optimal management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cequence Security is good for providing strong API security and effective bot detection. It provides more than just traffic regulation; it monitors complex behaviour of bots that even look like real users. In practise, it helps us prevent attackers from taking over our accounts and keeps them from accessing our backend data, providing details of the methods they use.

While Cequence is very useful, setting it up takes time and a lot of effort. We had to work out the details and use expert advice to incorporate it into what we use currently. It was necessary to learn a bit before we could use the customised dashboards properly which made the system not very user-friendly at the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cequence is definitely the visibility it gives us into our APIs and web applications. The API discovery feature is a huge win; it helps us find and catalog APIs we didn't even realize were public-facing, which is critical for security planning. Another standout is its ability to detect and block advanced bots. It goes beyond just simple rate limiting and uses behavioral analysis to stop scraping, account takeover attempts, and other sophisticated automated attacks without blocking legitimate users. This makes a real difference in protecting our data and maintaining site performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I've found challenging with Cequence is the initial configuration and tuning phase. It requires a bit of a learning curve to get it perfectly dialed in for your specific environment and traffic patterns. While the dashboards are informative, sometimes drilling down into the specifics of a particular incident or bot signature could be more intuitive. It's powerful, but getting the most out of that power requires time and expertise upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The good part of Cequence Security that I have most appreciated is how well it is in identifying multiple threat types including bots and app threats. It works well with other systems that we have in place now like our SIEM so that in real time we are getting threat information without adding to our workload. It’s particularly useful because it doesn’t generate many false positives, and this helped to enhance our security as well as our response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One problem with Cequence Security is it is hard to dial in the right amount of specificity for more specific or uncommon threats. It’s good for threat detection in the broad but adjusting some things for niche security concerns was hard. This sometimes results in either losing the value of alerts or creating so much noise that it hinders our speed to respond to critical events. It also works with other tools, but while the sync is a bit faster between platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am really fond of how Cequence Security solves the problem of protecting our APIs and web applications. This is a game changer for us because it can detect and mitigate automated attacks in real time. This used to take us so much time from monitoring and responding to security incidents, now we can do other things. What’s more, the platform’s machine learning is helping us save time and resources by learning from new threats and adapting to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So do not take me wrong, I still believe that Cequence Security is a great tool I still think the interface can be confusing sometimes. So as you can probably imagine it gets very confusing when one is trying to navigate in between all the features and sub features. Furthermore, as with any kind of system integration, there have been one or two incidences where the system did not entirely harmonize with other security appliances that we employ hence leading to a slightly disrupted operation.

What I like most about Cequence Security is that it provides all round protection to web applications against all kind of cyber threats. What has been critically important in securing our online services is that the platform does a great job detecting and thwarting automated attacks like bots. I also like how smoothly it fits within our existing security setup: the simple connection to our SIEM system so we can centralize security monitoring and incident response.

Cequence Security may be slightly cumbersome to set up initially in some areas particularly when defining the rules to use in fighting certain threats. The software, on the other hand, is rather strong and valuable but it did take some time to get them optimized. Also, the reporting features can be more realized and they are simple in use. It becomes slightly difficult to retrieve detailed information should this be required and this at times makes our response rates relatively slow during an incident.
