Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the custom rules feature. This is because many of our customers require a lot of custom rules. Because it's a very customized project for our customers, I think they have the best of everything already.""The product has a good user interface.""The solution can scale extremely well.""I can attest to its benefits in terms of understanding and mitigating threats...The solution's technical support team seems to be pretty responsive.""We are getting security for each and every API.""I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems.""Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure.""They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."

Cons
"Support and the pricing need to improve.""The custom rules must be improved.""The pricing could be reduced a bit.""Could integrate more features for each security.""The solution could offer even more integrations.""The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved.""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.""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."

"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."
