Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Prolexic to route all network traffic through Akamai’s highly managed globally distributed scrubbing centers. It had helped us integrate and manage pretty much effectively while implementing the solution to the core. We used it with high dedicated capacity since when we implemented it for very first time in our organisation.
Pros and Cons
  • Dedicated network
  • Highly secured
  • Best traffic management
  • Cost
  • UI design
  • Lack of quick new feature roll-out
Likelihood to Recommend
It is highly recommended to organisations with global presence. It is highly recommended to organisation focuses more on security and bandwidth. Super secured network. Best customer support you could get. The UI design seems to be something which is lacking better user experience, but this can be developed going further. Cost is also one thing to keep a check on.

Alternatives Considered
As I mentioned earlier, the kind of security providing is to the best in market you could get. It is one of the major factor to select it. Along with that they are providing global presence and dedicated network with larger capacity. That pretty much sums up why we went for this product.
