Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The product has a good UI."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems."
"It is scalable for DDoS."
"The features are powerful and better than F5."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"The dashboard is the most interesting feature of the Akamai portal where you can have a detailed analysis of all the attacks that are happening. You can drill down an issue and see exactly what is happening, who are the bad guys attacking your website, and how Akamai is protecting the website. That is the most valuable feature."
"Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure."
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"The product should provide a secure NTP."
"One area where Akamai can improve is the captcha part. Cloudflare provides a captcha if there are a certain number of threats. For example, I can assign that if there are 10 requests within a second from a single IP, it should send a captcha to the user. The user should fill in the captcha, and only after that, the user should be able to access our website. This captcha feature should be built into Bot Manager. I love this captcha feature of Cloudflare."
"The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low."
"There are some issues with pushing configurations across a network. It still takes about 20 minutes and that means to retract it's another 20 minutes."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"It would be better if there weren't any issues with latency. We had latency issues, but I think they are all solved now."
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
