I can attest to its benefits in terms of understanding and mitigating threats...The solution's technical support team seems to be pretty responsive.

The most valuable feature is the custom rules feature. This is because many of our customers require a lot of custom rules. Because it's a very customized project for our customers, I think they have the best of everything already.

The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it.

The pricing isn't the highest, however, it's not the lowest either. They could adjust it so that it was a bit more affordable. It would be appreciated by the customers. It's expensive, however, if you compare it to AWS, you'll get different services that you'll have to collaboratively pick in order to get the same solution that Akamai provides to you in one package.

Akamai is very expensive. It is more expensive than F5.
