Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution easily identifies, delays, or allows business traffic.""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.""Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure.""The solution can scale extremely well.""Traffic filtering and WAF are valuable.""I have contacted the support team of Akamai... I am happy with their responses and answers to my problems.""It is scalable for DDoS.""Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable."

Cons
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better.""The product should provide a secure NTP.""The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved.""The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low.""They are already very flexible, but room for improvement is there. Reports generation could be better and should be improved.""Customer support has room for improvement.""It would be better if there weren't any issues with latency. We had latency issues, but I think they are all solved now.""One area where Akamai can improve is the captcha part. Cloudflare provides a captcha if there are a certain number of threats. For example, I can assign that if there are 10 requests within a second from a single IP, it should send a captcha to the user. The user should fill in the captcha, and only after that, the user should be able to access our website. This captcha feature should be built into Bot Manager. I love this captcha feature of Cloudflare."

"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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The custom rules must be improved. If we have a domain to be monitored, we can use the solution to alert us if a certain specification is met. If we need only 20,000 transactions, but there are 40,000… more »
