Akamai Bot ManagerHUMAN Bot Defender
Likelihood to Recommend

Bots are rarely harmful but can overload your underlying hardware/cloud architecture, increasing maintenance costs. This is especially true if you are handling an eCommerce website since traffic spikes - due to marketing initiatives or promos - can kill your website when you need it most.
