Akamai Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines network security microsegmentation — also referred to as zero-trust network segmentation — as an effort that can create more granular and dynamic access policies than traditional network segmentation (often north-south traffic segmentation). It allows the insertion of a security policy between any two workloads in the same broadcast domain — with microsegmentation technologies narrowing fine-grained network zones down to individual assets and applications. Microsegmentation tools support the implementation of finer-grained zoning across public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructures. Cybersecurity leaders must understand the key features, use cases, and role of microsegmentation in their environment, as well as determine which model is the best fit for their needs.

The implementation process was smooth and the platform has helped improve operational efficiency and visibility. While there are some areas that could be improved, particulary arround customization and integrations, the overall value and support provided make it a solid choice.

Quizás sería importante que sean un poco más proactivos, sobre todo con el tema de la reputación de las direcciones IP.

Perhaps it would be important for them to be a little more proactive, especially regarding the issue of IP address reputation.

Manager, IT Security and Risk Management

Overall experience has been positive, particularly in terms of visibility, segmentation capabilities, and lateral movement prevention.
From a security operation perspective, the platform provides deep and granular visibility over network communication and workloads, enabling our security and IT departments to better understand application behavior, detect anormalies, misconfigurations and perform threat hunting.
Micro-segmentation approach has proven valuable in strengthening our security posture by reducing the risk of lateral movement, which is a key requirement in modern defense strategies.
We are also very happy of the support we receive from Akamai professional services which is always highly responsive and provide strong support under quick delays.

Many challenges have been overcome throughout our experience and many more are yet to come.
