Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 product has a good user interface.""Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable.""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 solution can scale extremely well.""All the solution's features are very good.""The CDN and the WAF features are the best.""It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure."

"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution.""PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning.""They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away.""The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate.""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 most valuable feature of PingSafe is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software.""PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services.""PingSafe's most valuable feature is its unified console."

Cons
"They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved.""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 custom rules must be improved.""Support and the pricing need to improve.""Customer support has room for improvement.""We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better.""The WAF features definitely have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of the WAF is really basic. For some products or some of our solutions, we need to run a second layer of more advanced WAF. If it had better layer seven protection then we would not need a second WAF.""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."

"I would like additional integrations.""Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe.""The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is.""They can work on policies based on different compliance standards.""One area for improvement could be the internal analysis process, specifically the guidance provided for remediation.""We wanted it to provide us with something like Claroty Hub in AWS for lateral movement. For example, if an EC2 instance or a virtual machine is compromised in a public subnet based on a particular vulnerability, such as Log4j, we want it to not be able to reach some of our databases. This kind of feature is not supported in PingSafe.""They could generally give us better comprehensive rules.""It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."
