The Akamai platform has been very helpful in securing our public-facing websites/applications. The UI has been easy to work around, and the support has been fantastic, during incidents, projects and during normal operations. Though it has its limitations, and integration can be tricky and difficult, the services Akamai have provided have been enough and have served in its main purpose which is protecting our applications from Web attacks, DDoS and bots.

Our experience with Akamai has been fairly traditional. It's clearly a robust, enterprise CDN with huge global reach, and that scale shows in its reliability and resilience during peak periods. From a stability and uptime perspective, it does what it's supposed to do. That said, it can feel quite legacy in places. Compared to some of the newer platforms in the edge and performance space, it doesn't always feel especially modern or agile, particularly from a usability and developer experience standpoint.
