User Testimonials
	Akamai App & API Protector	Layer7 API Security	Neosec
Likelihood to Recommend	Akamai Akamai Kona Site Defender KSD, works fine for any website or mobile application (Native/JDK), it can be used as a WAF, a rate limiting tool, or a bot management tool all in one, plus you will get all the benefits of the Akamai CDN (Content distribution network) as well Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Broadcom Well suited for publishing internal services with very high security, protecting against attacks, and managing on-demand load. Also good for transform messages and SQL to Rest services. Not appropriate for business logic implementation. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Neosec No answers on this topic
Pros	Akamai Web Security Bot managment Rate Control Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Broadcom SOAP to Rest / Rest to SOAP web services transformation. Secure authorization and authetication (JWT, OpenIP Connect, OAuth, SAML and more). WASP Features as injection protection. Easy rule writing without coding. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Neosec No answers on this topic
Cons	Akamai Custom rules might be hard to configure For some cases you will need to contact the Akamai team to adjust the backend Interface might feel laggy if used in a non-powerful PC Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Broadcom It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions.

Usability	Akamai No answers on this topic	Broadcom The Layer7 API Management is a great solution, but, sometimes the documentation is not clear or has lack of examples. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Neosec No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Akamai No answers on this topic	Broadcom The support team is good and the response time is reasonable, but (there is always a but), when support inquiries are made by someone experienced, and the question is not trivial, it is boring and takes a long time to get the case escalated to the next level of support. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Neosec No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Akamai No answers on this topic	Broadcom We evaluated 3 tools and decided on Layer7 API Management because it had the shortest implementation times and fastest learning curve, without losing power of customization and scalability. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Neosec No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Akamai Fair Security investment An attack impact would be higher Support contract is not cheap Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Broadcom Very fast implementation and is easy to learn & use.
