Akamai is known for acquiring other vendor to add it to their current solutions. The drawback here is that so many added solutions within a short time make it harder to learn and gain expertise on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akamai offers great cloud services with high security measures. It is quick and safe. the uploads run in the background and it is seemless. Their Ddos protection is alsot unparrael with what we use. the security they offer allows us to work without any worries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are times that the cloud system is down and makes for a lag. this does cause a problem once and awhile but it is quite rare it happens. when the issues arise the problems are usually solved within the 1st hour. Overall, it is still 1 of the most reliable services out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
