Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Akamai, Cisco and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."The solution can scale extremely well."
"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."
"The product has a good user interface."
"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."
"We are getting security for each and every API."
"It enables us to move faster with new products because we have this layer of protection set up in our infrastructure."
"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."
"We utilize Google Cloud Armor alongside our Cloud Load Balancer to safeguard against DDoS attacks. This setup acts as a local Layer 7 proxy provided by Google, allowing us to predict and mitigate DDoS threats effectively."
"Customer support has room for improvement."
"We are experimenting with EdgeWorkers to write our own code at the Edge level. It could grow to be much better."
"Akamai needs to focus on quickly responding to risks, even those that may potentially be of zero threat..Maybe some of the documentation is a little confusing. They have a lot of different places where you can go to get information, and some of the information is quite out of date."
"The interface is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"The pricing could be reduced a bit."
"The performance of the cloud monitoring tool is low."
"The custom rules must be improved."
"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."
"I believe Google Cloud Armor can benefit from enhancements of AI and automation."
