Features like scalability and uptime are most effective. 

The solution has both Bot Manager and different features to manage threats.

The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers.

The most valuable feature is that we are getting security for each and every API.

Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable.

In regards to protection from bots, Bot Manager Premier (BMP) has helped us a lot in protecting our transactional endpoints.

Traffic filtering and WAF are valuable. We have to have something on the edge for protection. The majority of our traffic is routed via Akamai. So, it adds value to our security.

All the features in the product are very good. The IP/Geo Firewall can block access based on the geographic location of the IPs. The product has WAF and custom rules. The tool provides DDoS protection and IP reputation. It is a good package. I recommend all the features to others.

The whole product is valuable. I cannot distribute it and choose one feature. It is very handy. It was easy to learn as well because I was a fresher, and I did not have much knowledge about DevOps, but within two to three weeks, I could learn what it is. It was easy.

The WAF features are valuable to us. When I see the WAF features, there are a lot of categories and subcategories. You can see what attacks are happening on the system. 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.

I would say that the solution has made connectivity a lot easier. Now, people can connect to websites very easily, and also, with the load balancing that the solution has introduced, one won't face that many DDoS attacks happening. Akamai Kona Site Defender has worked on the aforementioned areas since we used to face a lot of load on the original server earlier. Now after taking the service of Akamai Kona Site Defender, the load has decreased as it is mainly falling onto edge servers of Akamai. They have also put caching as a service, and so they also cache on their own. Hence, we don't have to take that much load on the servers. We can use the server load on the original servers.

Akamai Web Application Protector is a good solution that provides basic web application protection. The solution is quite cheap compared to Kona.

The product has a good UI. It is an easy-to-use solution.

The ability to filter unwanted IP addresses is valuable to us. I'm pretty satisfied with the solution. The product has a good user interface.

They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic. You could look for traffic spikes. You could search for spikes by IP address. You could examine traffic by IP address to see if there are any spikes from a particular IP address. 

It is an expensive service with many features. It's difficult, I suppose, to summarise it so quickly. However, it is relatively simple to locate and block IP addresses.

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 most valuable feature is the custom rules feature. This is because many of our customers require a lot of custom rules. Because it's a very customized project for our customers, I think they have the best of everything already.

I like that the charges are all based on usage and labor costs. For the time that we spend onboarding almost 252020 FQDN, Akamai charges us only for the traffic usage, but it's only charging us for the labor costs for onboarding.

The features are powerful and better than F5. I would rate the features a nine out of ten.

If you compare it to other products in the market, it's quite holistic in terms of the features that it provides.

Technical support has been very helpful and responsive.

The solution can scale extremely well.

The product has proven to be quite stable.

It's a SaaS solution and so it's scalable outside of our infrastructure. That's the most valuable thing for us.

The CDN and the WAF features are the best in this solution.

The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it.

• It is scalable for DDoS.
• Keeps our sites up through any size of attack.
• It has a good breadth of controls.
• From a general security platform perspective, it's quite nice. It allows you to have rotating blacklists.

• Caching
• DDoS protection
• Web application firewall

Cloud security solutions

It's a very good solution.

It's a clear cheaper alternative to others expensive CDN and DDOS solutions.

Many sites are working with Akamai now.
