Akamai Enterprise Application Access is a cloud-based solution that provides secure access to enterprise applications and data from any device, anywhere. It eliminates the need for traditional VPNs and allows organizations to easily manage access to applications and data for employees, partners, and customers. With its zero-trust approach, it ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive information, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Akamai Enterprise Application Access is appreciated for its stable and convenient solution that eliminates concerns about attacks on public IPs or networks. The accessibility of enterprise tech protection is highlighted as its most valuable feature. The capability of the product is simple yet efficient with the use of LCSD responders and extensive coverage globally. The integration process is also straightforward, making it easy to manage and register new applications.
Akamai Enterprise Application Access could benefit from combining its enterprise application and security access into one agent to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, more technical enablement sessions would be helpful.

There is a desire for a solution that is more affordable and doesn't rely on per-user or transaction pricing.
