Anti cheat

Some tools offer more
Some anti-cheat technology may offer other services, such as reporting your churn and AFK rate (away from keyboard).
They shouldn’t affect gameplay
In most cases, you’d plug in your anti-cheat software with your matchmaker or orchestration system, which is usually tackled on the server-side. So none of your players will need to download or install anything.
