The pricing is a bit expensive for our market. Although it is cheaper compared to alternatives, Akamai Enterprise Application Access offers a more robust solution overall, particularly for authentication.

We have to have a solution towards as-a-service instead of buying more hardware and software licenses. There is culture and cost models change. If you provide enterprise services we have to stop telling the customers it's going to be perusers or the transactions. That's not good for the customers, It's good for the vendors.

The technical enablement sessions are quite limited, and Akamai could help by providing more of them.
