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 features are powerful and better than F5."
"Akamai Web Application Protector is a good solution that provides basic web application protection."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure."
"Traffic filtering and WAF are valuable."
"It is scalable for DDoS."
"Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable."
"The IPS signatures and the IPS database that are given are much better than what is commonly available."
"For intrusion detection and mitigation, it has helped us in sort of known signatures and all sorts of things. So, we're very happy with the engine. That's the work."
"The monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support on offer is very good."
"A standout feature of TippingPoint is its strong integration with various solutions. It stands out as one of the leading network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in the current market and is known for its seamless integration with other solutions. For instance, when it identifies a potential threat within the traffic stream, it meticulously analyzes the data. Even in multilayer security scenarios, Tipping Point's network IPS can serve as a bypass for the basic firewall. If a threat is identified by Tipping Point, it promptly shares this information with the other systems. This ensures that they're updated and can employ the necessary solutions from their signature databases. The entire network gets safeguarded automatically. This integration extends to components like security and FX. This linkage streamlines our operations, offering a consolidated point of control for managing threats effectively."
"The solution's IDS functionality filters the traffic and blocks malware by blocking the connections."
"What I found most valuable in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is its accuracy. It's the best IPS solution in the market."
"You don't need any hardware because the solution is on the cloud. I like that Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is easy to install and manage."

"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 area where Akamai can improve is the captcha part. Cloudflare provides a captcha if there are a certain number of threats. For example, I can assign that if there are 10 requests within a second from a single IP, it should send a captcha to the user. The user should fill in the captcha, and only after that, the user should be able to access our website. This captcha feature should be built into Bot Manager. I love this captcha feature of Cloudflare."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"Customer support has room for improvement."
"The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low."
"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."
"The firewall rules are limited."
"Price is a significant factor that requires attention to enhance the popularity of Tipping Point among mid-sized data centres. Currently, Tipping Point is primarily adopted by sizable data centres, and smaller defenders might find it financially challenging to acquire. Recognizing this, efforts are underway to potentially introduce diverse models with varying capacities. This adjustment aims to ensure that a broader range of data sizes can benefit from the solution. Also, the continuous evolution of Tipping Point is evident in its features, particularly the personalized dashboard and related aspects."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"It integrates well but it takes time."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The solution should provide the possibility to mix traffic and the traffic's geographical source to have improved functionality."
"We need more integration. It would be good if Azure IPS and TippingPoint IPS and other products from Trend Micro like their DBI and IWSVA could talk between each other."
"An area for improvement in Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is the complexity of its interface."
