Find out in this report how the two Cloud and Data Center Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable."
"The product has a good UI."
"From what I understand, the initial setup is simple."
"The container security element of this product has been very valuable to our organization."
"The DTA, which stands for Dynamic Threat Analysis, allows me to analyze Docker images in a sandbox environment before deployment, helping me anticipate risks."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"Support is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"The solution was very user-friendly."
"The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low."
"If we talk about application layer attacks, including WAF, CloudFlare is leading. Akamai can focus a bit more on the application layer attacks and how to protect them."
"Akamai App and API Protector is very new to me, so I do not have any insights on improvement areas for the product. However, when we ask for some help, it can take some time. We understand that the job is done by professionals, but if that time can be reduced, it would be great."
"The product should provide a secure NTP."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"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 custom rules must be improved."
"The user interface could be improved, especially in terms of organization and clarity."
"We would like to see an improvement in the overview visibility that this solution offers."
"The solution could improve user-friendliness."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"I would like Aqua Security to look into is the development of a web security portal."
"There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management."
"It's a bit hard to use the user roles. That was a bit confusing."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
