We performed a comparison between Akamai App and API Protector and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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 support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure."
"The features are powerful and better than F5."
"The solution easily identifies, delays, or allows business traffic."
"It gives us a report of traffic. It gives us a report of the day-to-day URL traffic, and it also gives an individual report. If we reach out to Akamai, they give us the IPs as well."
"The solution can scale extremely well."
"It is scalable for DDoS."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"The mean time to detect has been reduced."
"The solution is a good alerting tool."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"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."
"Support and the pricing need to improve."
"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."
"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."
"Could integrate more features for each security."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"Akamai needs to focus on quickly responding to risks, even those that may potentially be of zero threat..Maybe some of the documentation is a little confusing. They have a lot of different places where you can go to get information, and some of the information is quite out of date."
"The product should provide a secure NTP."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"Their search feature could be better."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"While PingSafe offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."
