Cons
"Akamai SPS Threat Avert's pricing could be improved because it's a very expensive enterprise solution."

More Akamai Secure Internet Access Enterprise Cons →

"If the solution could integrate with FortiGate where there would only be a need of one dashboard instead of having to set policies on our firewall and our DNS, this would be helpful.""The price could be improved.""It needs to be more secure for production environments.""It addresses a specific risk related to malicious sites but doesn't cover broader security aspects.""The reporting system needs improvement. They should make is that we can customize it so we can add, remove or change its interface but they use a template. The reports cannot be changed.""Reporting is not done in real-time. Rather, it is done in 15-minute intervales. This is something that should be configurable by the admin."
