User Testimonials
	Akamai App & API Protector	Yelp for Business
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	Yelp Our company was one of the top rated businesses for the services that we provide in the area. We cancelled our subscription to promote on Yelp. Yelp deleted A LOT of valid genuine reviews that were left by our customers, that dropped our rating way down in my opinion Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Akamai Web Security Bot managment Rate Control Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review	Yelp No answers on this topic
