Our choice for document and image storage for our customers
What do you like best about the product?
Akamai is our prefered choice for content delivery, we have a number of customer that we have written bespoke software for and every occasion Akamai has provided us with exactly what we want, it is easy to use and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial configuration of Akamai is difficult to understand and the API a bit difficult to configure. We also had initial problems with large images and videos failing to load, which required some additional development work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With writing bespoke software for a number of clients we wanted a solution that gave us all the requirements that could be used for every client requiring a CDN. Akamai provides this and so far it is the only one we use, making our development much easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Akamai is a great solution for providing delivery of content to your web applications, it is the product of choice and has fulfilled all our requirements. It makes storing and serving large amount of content much simpler than storing on your own servers

Akamai static content hosting service
What do you like best about the product?
Upload the content once and distribution across the network is fast and seamless. Also the CMS dashboard is very helpful and very easy to use even as a beginner into CDN products
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much really. The only concern at the time was the cost but Akamai CDN was a good service which justifies the cost to management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content hosting/distribution across the US region. Benefit was enormous since the distribution/availability was robust and seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good and robust service and infrastructure. Cost may be a little high but it is well worth it in the long term.
Best Tool to keep your CDN Up and Running
What do you like best about the product?
Provides a great insight on how your data is consumed. Provides your Commerce application a personalized and optimized experience to the customers. They are the best in business with exceptional service. Provides tools that can overcome mobile application performance. And, its quite easy to set it up.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are not cheap; especially if you want to consult with them. And, some of their services require quite a good technical person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it on the eCommerce platform which can provide a customizable and optimized experience to customers using both Desktop and mobile platform. It helped us get an insight of the customer base that accesses various categories/pages at different times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a CDN management tool that has reporting features, Akamai is a great tool. It provides a great set of tools for mobile experience which is where eCommerce is heading to. You will easily claim the fee with a much more stable/optimized application.
Amazing service
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the easiest content delivery network to use. You just pay for the CDN setup some DNS entries and then you are good to go. I really like the easiness of akamai.
What do you dislike about the product?
I will say it is not for small startup because you can't customize its features and services, you have to choose from the provided service which are not many.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are online music application and after using akamai we saw noticeable boost in loading time of web application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this service to big companies not to startups.
Akamai is probably the best head to toe software/solution available
What do you like best about the product?
No shortage of services or programs offered. Akamai can truly deliver a customizable experience for everyone, business and individuals alike. For e-commerce sites I highly recommend it as they are able to deliver what I haven't really seen from any other vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our support wait times were a little longer than they were from other smaller vendors, but I suspect that's because the level of investment we had with Akamai was smaller than usual. For what we paid though I would still say that it was a good value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have only used this in an e-commerce perspective but I would say that Akamai is really great. The client I was working with especially had trouble with their mobile e commerce site (which if you've ever worked on one, it's a pretty big pain to go from desktop to mobile.) Akamai had a whole suits of services offered tailored specifically to mobile which, for my client, was a boon. Their mobile site was slow and clunky and Akamai was able to optimize everything so that we were running much quicker with lower latency. The impressiveness was in how quickly and easily we were able to simplify the scale. If we were to pay an individual to do it for us it would've taken a long time and we would've lost out on potential revenue in the down time. Akamai in that sense paid for itself pretty quickly in terms of non-lost investment.
its ok
What do you like best about the product?
Very powerful, offers a lot of services. I used it mainly for video livestreaming. I think at the time it was one, if not the only one, offering HLS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the amount of services can be a little overwhelming. It requires a very technical person to setup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You must research their suite of services to see how to best utilize them given your content infrastructure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working to provide greater capacity for Black Friday and holiday workload for retail organization. Using Akamai solutions helped us to exceed our revenue targets for holiday and to ensure no downtime for our eCommerce website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that you have a strong technical account contact and that you have a strong team. Suggest visiting with Akamai leadership to outline goals/objectives to gain executive support.
Solid and Robust offering
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite product in their suite is the Property Manager, which is the latest version of their configuration management portal for managing edge caching configurations. In previous versions of the Luna Control panel, many options were not exposed to end users and required working with customer care to get them added to the configuration. In property manager you can control and tune hundreds of settings, its very rare we have needed to loop in ccare for config changes. As a caching solution in front of an S3 or ec2 origin, cloudfront has maybe 20% of the options compared to Akamai.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you do need to loop in professional services/advanced consulting, it is not cheap. Configurations can also take quite awhile to propagate (2-4 hours). API availability has been very poor thus far, we would love to automate generating configurations, and i believe there are initiatives around releasing these API's to public soon, it has just been slow to come (we've been asking for a couple years).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hopefully you are able to understand your expected traffic at Akamai's edge, so you can negotiate the best price/GB based on what tier you land in.
