Sr. Strategic Accounts Manager at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I've used Akamai for over six years to secure web applications, benefiting from its CDN, WAF, and DDoS bundle. It's scalable, easy to deploy, and offers strong support, though regional pricing could improve. |
Security Expert at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I use Akamai for hybrid cloud deployments with AWS, appreciating its WAF features, logging, and performance benefits. While setup can be complex, support is excellent, and overall, the solution effectively improves delivery speed and backend load management. |

Product Manager at Infozion | 4.5 | Akamai is a powerful tool ideal for large enterprises with high scalability needs, like global e-commerce. However, it is complex for small and medium-sized businesses and presents challenges during migration, especially when switching from solutions like Cloudflare. |

Senior Manager ICT & Innovations at Bangalore International Airport Limited | 4.5 | I use Akamai for web applications as it effectively minimizes attacks and blocks malicious emails utilizing machine learning and AI. However, its configuration needs improvement for easier rule management. Compared to McAfee and Forcepoint, Akamai is superior. |
Cyber Security Associate at Sattrix Information Security | 4.5 | We use Akamai to monitor traffic, blocking malicious IPs and analyzing incoming data packets and queries from attackers. While it offers valuable insights, it could improve by providing more specific alerts instead of requiring manual checks for every IP. |
IS/IT Consultant at Wipro Limited | 4.5 | We primarily use Akamai for its CDN and WAF features, with WAF being the standout aspect. However, Akamai's CDN features need improvement, especially regarding caching strategies and cache tags. Akamai lacks certain caching functionalities that are important to us. |
