We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution can scale extremely well.""It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure.""Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure.""They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic.""The solution easily identifies, delays, or allows business traffic.""The product has a good user interface.""The product has a good UI.""We are getting security for each and every API."

More Akamai App and API Protector Pros →

"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great.""The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers.""We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment.""We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases.""It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature.""The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well.""It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end.""The mean time to detect has been reduced."

Cons
"The pricing could be reduced a bit.""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.""The product should provide a secure NTP.""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.""It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper.""The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved.""The solution could offer even more integrations.""It would be better if there weren't any issues with latency. We had latency issues, but I think they are all solved now."

More Akamai App and API Protector Cons →

"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement.""Maybe container runtime security could be improved.""In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier.""They could generally give us better comprehensive rules.""Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web.""We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities.""When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again.""It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."

  • "Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
  • "I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

  • "The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
