Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Akamai DNS across the whole organization as a front-line protection tool. Our business operates with a few different brands and with a high turnover in staff/drivers. Making sure anyone on the network was protected was important to us. The DNS service gave us protection mainly for DDoS. It also offered us a starting point towards building out a zero-trust network.
Pros and Cons
  • DDoS protection
  • Starting place for a zero-trust network
  • Protection for dns spoofing
  • Better protection for our remote employees
  • Many features and knowing which ones suit our business case
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Most Important Features
  • DDoS protection
  • Cost model
  • DNSSEC preventing attacks
Return on Investment
  • Fast DNS is core to our protection model, so while is an IT budget line item, is used to protect the entire org.
Alternatives Considered
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.
