    Akamai
    This is the best possible solution for enterprise-level organizations where server counts will be in the thousands. To manage these and understand the communication can be very cumbersome without this tool. Ease of creation map zone and application-wise can be relaxing to OS teams and support teams as well. There is no limit to labeling schema of servers and it gives the freedom to do so.

    Usability
    Akamai
    The solution is deployed throughout the organization. Teams are working and integrating it with the help desk tool wherever required. Helps in identifying the network traffic flows in lateral movement and east and west as well. Allows policies by default and later fine-tuning to be done to narrow it and enforce blocking action. Exporting reports from the tool is easy and can be observed for any issues.

    Support Rating
    Akamai
    Support has been available 24*7. It also depends on criticality but support is available. Also, the right expertise from the team helps in identifying the issue quickly and this helps in less production downtime if required. The ticket is resolved with RCA.

    1) No limit to labeling schema. 2) Ease of creating maps with respect to zone, environment, subnets, etc. 3) Ease of creating policies and publishing the same. 4) Deception 5) Integration with monitoring tool (grafana) 6) Changes in the agent can be considered if there are legacy systems, time-consuming but can be achieved with the right information.
