Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."Akamai Web Application Protector is a good solution that provides basic web application protection."
"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 most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it."
"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 product is user-friendly."
"The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"The features are powerful and better than F5."
"Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"Akamai App and API Protector is very new to me, so I do not have any insights on improvement areas for the product. However, when we ask for some help, it can take some time. We understand that the job is done by professionals, but if that time can be reduced, it would be great."
"They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"The custom rules must be improved."
"It would be better if there weren't any issues with latency. We had latency issues, but I think they are all solved now."
"Customer support has room for improvement."
"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."
"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
