Brice-Abrioux - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Cloud cost insights have enabled proactive right sizing and predictable infrastructure spend
Infracost is actually a very good product; however, the improvement part could be on the pricing side because the non-free plans are a bit expensive and don't necessarily offset the savings. Feature-wise, I don't have a lot of complaints about this product; it's quite amazing with a good concept. I do think that with AI catching up, tools such as ChatGPT or Codex will be able to do what Infracost does, so they need to come up with something to differentiate their product. I choose that assessment because of the pricing part; if the pricing was much better, since the starter pack is $250 a month, I'm not sure we are always able to save that much every month, making it an expense instead of a saving. The only improvements needed for Infracost are on the pricing part.
