Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"The features are powerful and better than F5."
"We are getting security for each and every API."
"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."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"The product has a good user interface."
"Akamai Web Application Protector is a good solution that provides basic web application protection."
"Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable."
"We utilize Google Cloud Armor alongside our Cloud Load Balancer to safeguard against DDoS attacks. This setup acts as a local Layer 7 proxy provided by Google, allowing us to predict and mitigate DDoS threats effectively."
"The solution could offer even more integrations."
"There are some issues with pushing configurations across a network. It still takes about 20 minutes and that means to retract it's another 20 minutes."
"It would be better if there weren't any issues with latency. We had latency issues, but I think they are all solved now."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"The custom rules must be improved."
"One thing I asked them is to integrate the API discovery product that they have and push that data into Akamai App and API Protector so that we do not have two types of reviews to identify the type of traffic. We already know the APIs that are frequently getting used, so analysis becomes easier. We can integrate both products and use them."
"It's fine for a simple tool, but as I recall, if you encounter a lot of bots, scrapers, and other things, you'll need this tool bot and this other thing they offer called Bot Manager."
"A lot of piracy happens in India and other countries. If there is a product for protection from piracy, it would be great. For example, there are multiple hackers that hack your event, and there are some channels that pirate and publish the event on some other website. We protect our streaming through DRM and different technologies. We are also protecting the website, but hacking is still happening. If they can work on protecting from piracy, it would be great."
"I believe Google Cloud Armor can benefit from enhancements of AI and automation."
