Akamai Kona Site Defender alternatives and competitors

Our company provides the solution to customers who need website load balancing or DDoS protection. Customers with minimal traffic use the Business Plan and customers with a huge amount of traffic use the Enterprise Plan. 

We currently have thirty customers on the Business Plan and three customers on the Enterprise Plan. 

The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks. 

The solution should expand its learning portal for partners to include a few demo accounts for learning the product and developing knowledge or technical expertise. 

Support response time could be improved. 

I have been using the solution for one year. 

The solution is stable, has curbing centers in Pakistan, and is widely used. 

The solution is scalable to each customer's needs. For example, you can scale up if you have two domains and want to add a third. It is easy to incorporate scaling. 

The technical support response time for Business Plan customers could be reduced. Most companies opt for this cost-effective plan but they should receive the same service as the Enterprise Plan. Currently, response time for Business Plan customers is six to eight hours and that should be minimized. 

I rate support an eight out of ten. 

Positive

The solution is easy to setup and share with customers. We categorize a customer's needs and recommend the best plan based on traffic and whether they need load balancing, bot management, routing, and unlimited bandwidth.  

We implement the solution for our customers. Deployment includes one project manager and one support technician. 

The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth. 

I rate the licensing options an eight out of ten. 

The solution is a great fit for customers who want unlimited bandwidth. 

Competitors such as Akamai have strict options for bandwidth so might not be a good fit. 

I recommend the solution for customers who don't yet have an idea how much bandwidth they need or who anticipate upscaling in a few months. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Our company uses the solution with F5 to secure applications from the injection, the track, and vulnerabilities. 

We use the built-in solution provided by SGO for the web. 

The web solution effectively protects from vulnerabilities and cyber attacks. 

The solution is menu driven and operates with no coding.

It is easy to manage and use the solution. 

The solution should identify why it blocks particular websites. The solution performs high-level blocks but doesn't provide very much detail. For example, a particular IT is blocked due to a vulnerability but we are not able to identify the reason for the block. Our developers or IT staff need to be able to identify vulnerabilities to fix applications. 

We would like output that tracks how many concurrent requests come through a particular application gateway, the response times for requests, and the latency parameters. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is very stable so I rate stability a ten out of ten. 

The setup is easy so I rate it a nine out of ten. 

We implemented through a third party and it only took a few minutes. 

The pricing is good and manageable. I rate pricing a ten out of ten. 

I recommend the solution for protecting web applications. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

Our company uses the solution to access and protect web applications. We have over 150 customers who use the solution. 

It is very easy to set WAF rules and defend paths.

The solution easily identifies, delays, or allows business traffic. 

There are many integration options available in one platform. 

The solution could offer even more integrations. 

I have been using the solution for one year. 

The stability is pretty good. 

The scalability is very good. 

The technical support is good so is rated a ten out of ten. 

Positive

The setup is easy and straightforward. 

We implement the solution for customers and can onboard within four hours. 

The solution is not expensive. 

I recommend the solution because it is a self-tuning engine for WAF rules. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
