Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"All the solution's features are very good."
"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 product has a good UI."
"The solution can scale extremely well."
"I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems."
"Akamai Web Application Protector is a good solution that provides basic web application protection."
"The product has a good user interface."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"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."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"Support and the pricing need to improve."
"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."
"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 solution could offer even more integrations."
"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."
"Customer support has room for improvement."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
