Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure."
"The solution easily identifies, delays, or allows business traffic."
"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."
"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 three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved."
"The product should provide a secure NTP."
"Could integrate more features for each security."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"I do not see any area for improvement. Akamai is already maintaining its own databases for the security concerns, vulnerabilities, and attacks that are there. If anything, they should have a solution in the infrastructure security area as well. They should not be only in cloud cybersecurity; they should also be in infrastructure security."
"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 pricing could be reduced a bit."
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
