VERDICT

Should I use Radware Bot Management (shielding make-it-in-germany.com)?

Loader page. - make-it-in-germany.com

Depends. Buy only if you run a high-traffic site under real bot, DDoS, or scraping attacks and have security staff to tune it. Small or content-driven sites should skip it — it blocks visitors, crawlers, and AI chatbots.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~50 public sources: press coverage, bug reports, and bot-block artifacts. No user reviews or pricing found. Note: the pasted URL is a government info portal, not a product page — the reviewable product is the Radware bot/DDoS protection sitting in front of it.
