Ensure that you have a strong technical account contact and that you have a strong team. Suggest visiting with Akamai leadership to outline goals/objectives to gain executive support.
Great resource for hosting large Documents and images for web application
What do you like best about the product?
Akamai provides a single location for storing and proving fast easy access for our millions of large documents and images needed for a web application. Having them in a CDN allowed us to almost forget about them and needing to move them to storage and back them up.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had initial problems with users having firewall issues accessing akaimi servers when requesting documents, and took a while for our network team to resolve this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Akamai solved a lot of storage and backup problems for us
Akamai helped our company prepare for an increase in traffic that we couldn't have done alone
What do you like best about the product?
Akamai does CDN very well, we were expecting a lot of web traffic to come through to our healthcare video website and didn't have the capacity at the time to handle that. We paired up with Akamai and made use of their capability to offload delivery of video, images, etc. to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
The logs and dashboard weren't very easy to use, but we were able to get by with a little help from customer service, reading documentation, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful CDN that has been around for a long time and has a proven track record with many high profile companies still using them today.
User
What do you like best about the product?
Speed, ease of use, worldwide scale are the most like things.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I most dislike is the minimum amount of traffic to join the program.
Simply Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
It's one of the geographically disperse CDN. Akamai is a robust network capable of hughe capacity.
Finally it allows for a custom origin. which depending on other solutions the site may take considerable effort to make it work.
