Pros
"The product has a good user interface.""The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection, which is the main reason we got it.""Traffic filtering and WAF are valuable.""The product is user-friendly.""I can attest to its benefits in terms of understanding and mitigating threats...The solution's technical support team seems to be pretty responsive.""It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure.""They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic.""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."

Cons
"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.""Customer support has room for improvement.""The pricing could be reduced a bit.""Support and the pricing need to improve.""The solution could offer even more integrations.""The custom rules must be improved.""The WAF features definitely have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of the WAF is really basic. For some products or some of our solutions, we need to run a second layer of more advanced WAF. If it had better layer seven protection then we would not need a second WAF."
