Finally we are stopping those annoying bots and protecting our customer accounts

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There were numerous cases of creating fake accounts and even checkout fraud in terms of credit cards. It was such a challenge to our security and the fraud department who were perpetually on the tail of the incidents. Cequence now auto identifies and prevents these complex attacks in real-time. We have reduced our fraud numbers to a great extent and our human resources are able to concentrate on actual threats. Our customers are also more secure as their accounts are more secure.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence Security is primarily solving the critical problem of automated bot attacks and API abuse against our public-facing applications. Before implementing Cequence, we were struggling to keep up with automated credential stuffing attacks causing account lockouts and dealing with malicious scraping attempts impacting performance. We also lacked full visibility into potential vulnerabilities in our extensive API ecosystem. Now, Cequence automatically detects and blocks these sophisticated attacks in real-time, significantly reducing account compromise attempts and protecting our valuable API endpoints from exploitation, allowing our team to focus on proactive security work instead of reactive incident response.

Before Cequence Security we didn't even know how many shady api calls were happening
Reviewed on Jun 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence primarily solves the problem of protecting our critical APIs and web applications from automated threats and targeted attacks. Before using it, we struggled to keep up with sophisticated bots and had limited insight into the full scope of our API attack surface. We were often in a reactive mode, constantly responding to incidents like account takeover or content scraping after they happened. Now, Cequence provides a proactive layer of defense, automatically detecting and mitigating these threats in real-time. This has significantly reduced security incidents and freed up our team to focus on other important tasks instead of constantly chasing bot activity.

Feeling much safer about our applications and data
Reviewed on Jun 06, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence Security is primarily solving the problem of unknown or poorly protected APIs and sophisticated automated attacks that bypass traditional defenses. Before using Cequence, we were dealing with frequent credential stuffing attacks and lacked visibility into our full API attack surface, leaving us vulnerable. Now, Cequence automatically discovers those APIs and actively blocks sophisticated bots in real-time, significantly reducing successful account takeovers and malicious scraping. This has greatly reduced the burden on our security team and substantially improved our overall application security posture and confidence.

We finally found all those weird apis and stopped the bad guys using them
Reviewed on Jun 02, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cequence Security is primarily solving the major problem of sophisticated online fraud and API abuse driven by automated bots. Before Cequence, we were constantly reacting to account takeover attempts and scraping, often overwhelmed by the volume and complexity, leading to compromised user accounts and unreliable data. Now, Cequence automatically identifies and mitigates these threats in real-time, significantly reducing fraudulent activity and protecting both our users and our business operations without constant manual intervention.
