Well suited when you have a high-turnover staffing model or can't get everyone trained on security best practices. Also well suited as a starting place for getting a zero-trust network up and running. A tool like Fast DNS gives you a web based portal to see traffic analysis, too, which for us was very important.

Gcore
[G-Core Labs] provides a very good service and the price is a lot lower than in other companies! During the whole time of our work with them, no problems arose. I am especially pleased with the efficiency and professionalism of their support. Very user-friendly and intuitive interface. No intrusive ads or pushing for additional services. We stopped receiving complaints from our clients and we believe this was the main problem that we managed to solve with the help of G-Core!

Akamai wins hands down because of their distributed model (their worldwide CDN which is top notch). We've trusted them for other hosting and media distribution and it was a natural to use them for DNS. Feature wise, they are better, for our use cases, then either Google Cloud or Azure

Return on Investment
Akamai
  • Fast DNS is core to our protection model, so while is an IT budget line item, is used to protect the entire org.

  • With their plans we've had huge cost savings. I used to use Cloudfare and they don't compare to G-Core Labs
