Overall, I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

You should use the solution. Since it is expensive, however, you also have to weigh the type of traffic your website has. Based on that, you have to weigh whether you want to spend that money or want exactly that type of protection. I rate Akamai App and API Protector a nine out of ten.

I would rate Akamai App and API Protector a 9 out of 10. The main reason for switching to Akamai App and API Protector was Bot Manager, and Bot Manager is working properly now. I am happy with Bot Manager. My sites are now protected. In terms of cache, Akamai is able to cache my data in a proper manner and serve it in a proper manner. They provide us with what we require.

I would rate Akamai App and API Protector a 10 out of 10.

The support information is available on various platforms, such as community forums, support articles, and documentation. I found it challenging to locate the specific information I needed, but I attempted to do it myself without involving our engineering team. This process taught me a lot, but I realized that some of the information I learned earlier was not as relevant to the current situation, and much of the information was available within the tool itself rather than in offline documentation. It was an eye-opening experience for me, and I believe involving our engineering team or being more involved in the setup would have been helpful in finding the necessary information. I just tried to minimize the impact because our engineering team is always very busy. I tend to be self-directed when it comes to learning, and sometimes that can backfire.

The information I need is available and applicable to the specific things I'm looking for. I can also identify the roadblocks. So, in that sense, the solution is great. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it since it has an easy interface, so you can understand things easily. You can easily, through the interface, understand what is happening and how to do the monitoring and move forward with that.

Since the tool has proven a lot in securing our website a lot of times and reducing the latency or the speed-related issues, the customers were facing earlier. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

A person unfamiliar with Akamai can learn to operate and check the product in 30 minutes. It’s a user-friendly tool. People must keep a check on the cost of the product because the cost is based on the data usage. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

I have used Akamai WAF. It is very good. It is very user-friendly, and all the configurations are easy. You can do that in minutes. I have also used Akamai CDN. We were using a cloud CDN, but because of latency, we moved to Akamai CDN. We did a PoC, and the latency reduced drastically, so we moved to that.

Overall, I would rate Akamai App and API Protector a 10 out of 10.

We also use Linode, but it does not interact with Akamai App and API Protector. It is an independent deployment.

I would rate Akamai App and API Protector an eight out of ten considering the pricing and multiple products available in this sector. It meets my needs, and I would recommend it to others.

It is a cloud-based solution, and we are using the latest version. We recently cut over our internal DNS to Akamai’s hosted DNS. Akamai provided us with quite a bit of support with it. The deployment process of Akamai’s DNS was pretty straightforward. 

If a company is planning to use the solution, they need to ensure that the people that are going to be involved with the product get trained appropriately. The learning process is not straightforward. We should take advantage of the training provided by Akamai. Overall, rate the solution a nine out of ten.

When it comes to Akamai products, I have seen their three products. Akamai Security is one. Akamai Content Delivery Network is another one, and then there is also Akamai Cloud. We use two of them. We are not using Akamai Cloud. In terms of integration, WAF with Content Delivery Network works very well, but I do not have any idea about other products.

Overall, I would rate Akamai App and API Protector an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to potential users. I think if the FIC has a CDN, it's easier in terms of onboarding. In terms of the commercial part and charging, I think Akamai is more efficient. I think it's important to have a CDN feature inside.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Akamai Kona Site Defender a nine.

We used the solution on the Akamai cloud. The solution's integration with other tools is very easy. The solution's UI or user interface is good. The solution is user-friendly and easy to implement. It is also very easy to understand how to implement it. You can understand the features quickly if you want to use it.

Akamai Web Application Protector is a good product that fulfills the customer's requirements.

Users should use Akamai Web Application Protector if their budget allows them to use it because it is quite a mature and expensive product.

If any customer needs improvement in Akamai Web Application Protector, they should go for Kona.

Overall, I rate Akamai Web Application Protector an eight out of ten.

People should definitely use the product. Most of the time, it will fulfill our requirements. The tool has many customers. The tool requires a lot of tuning. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I would advise potential customers to make sure that it's a medium or big company. It's not suitable for small companies.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Akamai Kona Site Defender above eight.

I would rate Akamai App and API Protector eight out of ten.

We have not faced any challenges with the Akamai App and API Protector. It is a user-friendly app that we use for multiple purposes.

I have yet to explore the protection side of Akamai's features but we will be looking into those soon.

I recommend the solution because it is a self-tuning engine for WAF rules. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I would rate Akamai Web Application Protector a seven out of ten. It does a lot, and for what it does, it works; for what it doesn't do, a Bot Manager is required.

As far as DDoS protection is concerned, I'm firmly in the Akamai Kona box. 

In terms of consistency, I think people should consider API-based adoption for Kona configuration. That gives us a broader state which looks and feels the same, and a small team can support it rather than needing a large team to support it.

For what it does, it's really good. For what we want it to do, there's room for improvement. I'd give it an eight and a half out of ten. In order for it to be a 10 I would say that it should be one of the market-leading WAF solutions and not just a volumetric solution.

We are just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

I would recommend the solution. It depends on what the organization wants, however. If you're going for cost optimization or whether you are looking for a through and through security feature, it might vary in its acceptability. It depends on what exactly you want and your company's priority. However, overall, it's a good product.

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been quite satisfied with it.

I would rate Akami Kona Site Defender a seven out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is evaluating this solution is to first evaluate your needs, and then check to see how much you need to put into this solution.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Site Defender is that you should do an analysis first, to see how it will fit into your ecosystem. You decide whether to buy it based on that, rather than because it is a good product. You have to make sure that it is compatible with your environment. 

Overall, I am happy with Site Defender because what it's doing, it's doing well. I can't think of a single feature that might be missing.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Programmability in the cloud is very important. So whatever we can program by APIs and define by API is very important in the infrastructure.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

First of all, in this day and age, DDoS protection is a must.

Akamai is a very reliable provider and a very safe bet that will suit most environments' needs.

This product is great, once it is fine-tuned. Be ready to spend some time to get all the noise filtered out each time you launch a new application on the platform.

Make sure you know how your applications behave. Have a solid grasp on HTTP(S)-related concepts and technologies.

Keep your eyes open. There are a lot of solutions out there. You can even see products being deployed in the public cloud, which is nice for scaling up. Keep your eyes on the horizon. There's a lot to look forward to.

For Kona, we use several products, including their Site Acceleration Services. Our security maturity is very different from when we first started using Akamai.
