Akamai
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.

I think it is best when you might need a lot of detail. I wouldn't suggest this for sharing with an end user.

On a rare occasion that we call for support, more like a HOW-TO type of thing, it is a live person, prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

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

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