Akamai Bot Manager vs. Shield

Bot Manager relies on the simple premise that bots are not all created equal. Many bots play a legitimate role in your online business strategy. Others harm your business by reducing competitive advantage, getting between you and your customers, or committing fraud. Bot Manager provides a flexible framework to manage bot traffic based on the needs of your business—to better engage with your customers, improve your security posture, and control the traffic coming to your website every day.
