According to the research "SPARK Matrix: Bot Management, 2020", a majority of the bot management tools available generally offer basic capabilities to detect bad bots and prevent automated bot attacks.

The primary differentiators to evaluate bot management tools include the sophistication of attack detection techniques, ability to detect advanced humanlike bots, robust threat research and intelligence to capture emerging bot trends, the sophistication of attack prevention, detection accuracy and scalability, integration & interoperability, technology vision, and roadmap.
