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	Fortinet Regarding my experience, I prefer to deploy FortiWeb in a reverse proxy to have the full features and protection. The other mode will be useful for special cases as will it will not have the full range of features and protection. Like offline Sniffing, it will be used in special cases.

Pros	Akamai Web Security Bot managment Rate Control Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Fortinet API protection Bot mitigation Web application protection Application delivery Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review
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	Fortinet Built-in vulnerability scanner should be better in next release Predefined security policies for other web application not listed Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Akamai No answers on this topic	Fortinet Most of them have the same features but not for FREE. The second point was the total cost of ownership for 3 and 5 years. Fortinet supported us with the best prices for 3 years and 5 years as well with advanced hardware replacement against the others.

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	Fortinet ROI for last three years was 60% Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review
