Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The solution can scale extremely well."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"I like that the charges are all based on usage and labor costs. For the time that we spend onboarding almost 252020 FQDN, Akamai charges us only for the traffic usage, but it's only charging us for the labor costs for onboarding."
"It gives us a report of traffic. It gives us a report of the day-to-day URL traffic, and it also gives an individual report. If we reach out to Akamai, they give us the IPs as well."
"The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"Traffic filtering and WAF are valuable."
"We are getting security for each and every API."
"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"If we talk about application layer attacks, including WAF, CloudFlare is leading. Akamai can focus a bit more on the application layer attacks and how to protect them."
"The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low."
"Support and the pricing need to improve."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"One thing I asked them is to integrate the API discovery product that they have and push that data into Akamai App and API Protector so that we do not have two types of reviews to identify the type of traffic. We already know the APIs that are frequently getting used, so analysis becomes easier. We can integrate both products and use them."
"It's fine for a simple tool, but as I recall, if you encounter a lot of bots, scrapers, and other things, you'll need this tool bot and this other thing they offer called Bot Manager."
"The WAF features definitely have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of the WAF is really basic. For some products or some of our solutions, we need to run a second layer of more advanced WAF. If it had better layer seven protection then we would not need a second WAF."
"The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
