"The product has a good UI."
"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 most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"The product has a good user interface."
"The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"The tool's machine learning and artificial intelligence help to prevent attacks by analyzing real-time traffic."
"Recently, our company has been facing difficulties due to attacks originating from the Russian Federation. DefenseFlow has proven to be a highly effective solution in protecting our customers."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"Could integrate more features for each security."
"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."
"In terms of precedence of Akamai rules, the last one is implemented. That is the one that is operational. If two rules contradict, the last one is implemented. We had a clash, but it was really tough to find that out. I would like to have a rulebook because, in their architecture documentation, it is not mentioned anywhere that if two rules clash, the last one works, and if it does not work, then what to do. This is something we were debating today with their tech support. With AWS, we get documents for the issues so that they do not occur in the future. Akamai's support and knowledge base needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"The solution could offer even more integrations."
"Radware DefenseFlow should add new features and algorithms to make it efficient."
"Its documentation is not 100% clear, making it the weakest aspect of Radware. We have encountered some difficulties in understanding how to configure it correctly."
