Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The dashboard is the most interesting feature of the Akamai portal where you can have a detailed analysis of all the attacks that are happening. You can drill down an issue and see exactly what is happening, who are the bad guys attacking your website, and how Akamai is protecting the website. That is the most valuable feature."
"It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure."
"The solution can scale extremely well."
"The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"We are getting security for each and every API."
"It gives us a report of traffic. It gives us a report of the day-to-day URL traffic, and it also gives an individual report. If we reach out to Akamai, they give us the IPs as well."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"There are some issues with pushing configurations across a network. It still takes about 20 minutes and that means to retract it's another 20 minutes."
"The product should provide a secure NTP."
"It's fine for a simple tool, but as I recall, if you encounter a lot of bots, scrapers, and other things, you'll need this tool bot and this other thing they offer called Bot Manager."
"Customer support has room for improvement."
"The solution could offer even more integrations."
"They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"One area where Akamai can improve is the captcha part. Cloudflare provides a captcha if there are a certain number of threats. For example, I can assign that if there are 10 requests within a second from a single IP, it should send a captcha to the user. The user should fill in the captcha, and only after that, the user should be able to access our website. This captcha feature should be built into Bot Manager. I love this captcha feature of Cloudflare."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
