Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features are powerful and better than F5."
"The support that we got from their technical team has been fantastic. I have never experienced this level of support from other CDN providers."
"Adaptive stream delivery and WAF protection are valuable."
"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."
"Everything will be handled by Akamai's system before it reaches our infrastructure."
"It is scalable for DDoS."
"They have a fantastic tool for analyzing and viewing your traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."
"DDoS Protection Service provides excellent defense in the cloud, and the implementation and migration are very straightforward."
"Provides good monitoring and has a user-friendly dashboard."
"It would be nice if Akamai Web Application Protector's price is lowered and made cheaper."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"A lot of piracy happens in India and other countries. If there is a product for protection from piracy, it would be great. For example, there are multiple hackers that hack your event, and there are some channels that pirate and publish the event on some other website. We protect our streaming through DRM and different technologies. We are also protecting the website, but hacking is still happening. If they can work on protecting from piracy, it would be great."
"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."
"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's fine for a simple tool, but as I recall, if you encounter a lot of bots, scrapers, and other things, you'll need this tool bot and this other thing they offer called Bot Manager."
"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."
"Customization could be improved."
"We heavily relied on Radware's technical team to ensure the proper setup and configuration of VPN tunnels for cloud mitigation."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
