Akamai Edge DNS Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Head of Service Delivery at onme5.0As a reseller of Akamai, I find their Edge DNS invaluable for its global distribution, DDoS protection, and 100% availability. While expensive, it integrates seamlessly, although it could benefit from features like record notes and improved AI capabilities.
Head Chief Executive Officer, Cloud & Security at EXBIZ TELECOM TECNOLOGIA LTDA4.5I use Akamai Edge DNS to protect against DDoS attacks and enhance performance for diverse industries. The high availability due to numerous POPs and easy deployment are valuable features. However, the pricing for DNS zones is higher than competitors.
Ecommerce Architect Manager at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I find Akamai Edge DNS valuable for maintaining control of configuration, particularly for site forwarding to manage root domains. However, the setup can be complex with cloud vendors like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle. There's no notable ROI information provided.
IS/IT Consultant at Wipro Limited4.5In our company, we use Akamai Edge DNS for domain DNS configuration. Its independent CDN protocol is valuable but lacks CNAME flattening. While secure and easy to update records, it would benefit from features like APEX's sentry function.
