Integrating the tool into our existing network's architecture is a matter of redirecting from the Akamai instance over to a different cloud solution. Our security team is happy with the solution's infrastructure. Some security policies we have with Akamai control the overall configuration there. I've always been impressed with Akamai's overall approach and their suite of offerings. It's definitely a key player in the industry. Akamai is generally pretty innovative in terms of technologies, security level, web application firewall, and bot management. I can't really compare Akamai Edge DNS with other vendors, but I know Akamai does a good job. Akamai Edge DNS is a useful component in our infrastructure, hosting, and application side. I think it's just one of those must-have things. I think Akamai has some of its AI technologies plugged into the overall ecosystem. I haven't read up on it lately, but I'm sure it has some kind of offering for adapting to some of the attacks and keeping track of all the approaches. Akamai is a good vendor that comes up with a lot of innovations to protect against troublesome actors such as bots, hackers, and different kinds of attacks. They generally provide performance hosting and the Edge service to make the user experience for a site perform well and be efficient. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I would only recommend someone use Akamai Edge DNS only if they are already using Akamai CDN. If you use Akamai CDN, then it is better to use the DNS services associated with Akamai, and it also allows you to use the other services associated with the brand. If you only plan to use Akamai Edge DNS, then I would suggest you opt for cheaper alternatives available in the market. If you only plan to use Akamai Edge DNS, then it is an expensive product when compared to the other options available in the market. Considering that Akamai Edge DNS has provided me with all the DNS facilities apart from CNAME flattening, which is a problem because of the protocols followed by Akamai, I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
Managed DNS Solutions provide organizations with the means to ensure reliable and efficient internet presence management. These solutions involve outsourcing DNS management to specialized service providers, offering enhanced performance, security, and reliability compared to traditional, self-managed DNS systems.
