Overall Satisfaction with Akamai Fast DNS
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.
- 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
- DDoS protection
- Cost model
- DNSSEC preventing attacks
- Fast DNS is core to our protection model, so while is an IT budget line item, is used to protect the entire org.
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.
