"The product has a good user interface."
"It is scalable for DDoS."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure."
"The features are powerful and better than F5."
"The product has a good UI."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"The stability of the product is good since I haven't had any problems with the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's automatic bot mechanism. It also gives us the control to create our own custom bot rules."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"I do not see any area for improvement. Akamai is already maintaining its own databases for the security concerns, vulnerabilities, and attacks that are there. If anything, they should have a solution in the infrastructure security area as well. They should not be only in cloud cybersecurity; they should also be in infrastructure security."
"The solution could offer even more integrations."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems."
"The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
