I really like Akamai Cloud Computing because the service and customer care are excellent. When I have an issue and write a ticket, they solve it very quickly, which makes things easy for me. It's also convenient that I can follow up with payments at the end of the month, which helps if something spikes up. The flexibility with instances is another plus; I can spin up an instance whenever I want to quickly solve problems. Also, the Akamai API is very helpful for commanding agents to manage instances. Finally, the GPUs are great for our needs, especially for our voice agents. The cost for these services is straightforward and reasonable, unlike other providers where the billing can be confusing.

We appreciate having access to managed services, especially for MySQL databases, and we found the setup process far simpler than configuring a cluster manually. We rely on it as a core part of our main website stack, and integrating it with the existing systems we use every day was straightforward. Whenever we’ve needed support with our servers or databases, the team has consistently been available and quick to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, our only real complaint is that we have to request limits for IP addresses each time we want to add new ones, and that process can sometimes take longer than we’d like. That said, we understand this is in place to help prevent abuse, so we can see the reasoning behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Akamai Cloud Computing’s high performance and global reach. It reduces latency, improves the user experience, and supports consistent performance. I use it to help address challenges related to scalability, performance, and security. The initial setup was relatively easy, and the interface and deployment options made it straightforward to get started. I also value its reliable infrastructure.

I think Akamai Cloud Computing could use a more intuitive, centralized management dashboard, with real-time performance monitoring and a clear cost breakdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akamai Cloud Computing is the best tool and service for IAAS, at the moment, in the market. Even though its UX/UI configuration interface is not very user-friendly, it remains a powerful tool for defending against DDoS attacks. Last but not least, AKAMAI has worked hard to enable AI Agentic in its tools to detect bad behaviour and perform profiling analysis, providing the best support to its protected customers.

As a third-party service that sits between the services exposed on the Internet, it functions like a WAF. It is not possible to use it personally; only through Akamai Professional Services, which owns the structure and the global network via an infinite series of edge points. Therefore, it's strictly vendor-locked. The tech support is very expensive, but It remains one of the best team to solve all problems in wich incurred its customer.

What I like most about Akamai Cloud Computing is its ease of use combined with transparent, competitive pricing. The marketplace and StackScripts are especially valuable, as they make it simple to deploy a wide range of ready-to-use machines and applications with minimal setup time. This significantly speeds up deployments, reduces operational overhead, and allows me to focus more on building and scaling solutions rather than managing infrastructure.

What I dislike about Akamai Cloud Computing is the limited support for uploading and managing pre-existing custom images. The available GPU options are also somewhat restricted, with newer graphics cards (such as the RTX 5090) not currently available. Additionally, the number of regions is limited, and expanding regional coverage would improve latency options and overall flexibility for global deployments.

Easier to use than google or aws. I don't want all those silly applications they are always pushing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support seems to have a bit of an attitude. I suppose that's normal for linux junkies, but they could be a bit nicer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been an Akamai CC user since it was still Linode, at the time I used it to deploy Rails applications using capistrano to VPSs, I was a beginner back then and I got a lot of support from Linode representatives whom helped me set up different services, including an email server. I've always been very satisfied with the service, and I've always keept a few VPSs for my personal use or for client work. Since a couple of years I started using Nix for managing my dev environments, after shopping for server providers with support for NixOS, I was very happy to discover a guide for installing NixOS on ACC, the guide was very well written and I was able to follow without a hitch, consequently I have no reason to switch providers.

The "clean" redesign on all white and content restructuring (guides, resources, pricing) has made me feel a tad disoriented, but I have been able to find my way. I find the dashboard very clear though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes the management of cloud infrastructure very easy. For developers looking to manage some cloud features without having to master them, this is the platform for you. Their portal makes it extremely easy to standup infrastructure in just a few short minutes. Akamai makes it very easy and their support is top shelf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only negative about Akamai, is I would love to see more cloud features exposed through their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simpler with few set of powerful services and costing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is not great, guided UI is needed for any new beginner to explore on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
