A person unfamiliar with Akamai can learn to operate and check the product in 30 minutes. It’s a user-friendly tool. People must keep a check on the cost of the product because the cost is based on the data usage. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We also use Linode, but it does not interact with Akamai App and API Protector. It is an independent deployment. I would rate Akamai App and API Protector an eight out of ten considering the pricing and multiple products available in this sector. It meets my needs, and I would recommend it to others.
I have used Akamai WAF. It is very good. It is very user-friendly, and all the configurations are easy. You can do that in minutes. I have also used Akamai CDN. We were using a cloud CDN, but because of latency, we moved to Akamai CDN. We did a PoC, and the latency reduced drastically, so we moved to that. Overall, I would rate Akamai App and API Protector a 10 out of 10.
When it comes to Akamai products, I have seen their three products. Akamai Security is one. Akamai Content Delivery Network is another one, and then there is also Akamai Cloud. We use two of them. We are not using Akamai Cloud. In terms of integration, WAF with Content Delivery Network works very well, but I do not have any idea about other products. Overall, I would rate Akamai App and API Protector an eight out of ten.
I would rate Akamai App and API Protector a 9 out of 10. The main reason for switching to Akamai App and API Protector was Bot Manager, and Bot Manager is working properly now. I am happy with Bot Manager. My sites are now protected. In terms of cache, Akamai is able to cache my data in a proper manner and serve it in a proper manner. They provide us with what we require.
We used the solution on the Akamai cloud. The solution's integration with other tools is very easy. The solution's UI or user interface is good. The solution is user-friendly and easy to implement. It is also very easy to understand how to implement it. You can understand the features quickly if you want to use it. Akamai Web Application Protector is a good product that fulfills the customer's requirements. Users should use Akamai Web Application Protector if their budget allows them to use it because it is quite a mature and expensive product. If any customer needs improvement in Akamai Web Application Protector, they should go for Kona. Overall, I rate Akamai Web Application Protector an eight out of ten.
It is a cloud-based solution, and we are using the latest version. We recently cut over our internal DNS to Akamai’s hosted DNS. Akamai provided us with quite a bit of support with it. The deployment process of Akamai’s DNS was pretty straightforward. If a company is planning to use the solution, they need to ensure that the people that are going to be involved with the product get trained appropriately. The learning process is not straightforward. We should take advantage of the training provided by Akamai. Overall, rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would rate Akamai Web Application Protector a seven out of ten. It does a lot, and for what it does, it works; for what it doesn't do, a Bot Manager is required.
