Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure."
"The CDN and the WAF features are the best."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems."
"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 support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The custom rules must be improved."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"Could integrate more features for each security."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
