"Though Akamai is one of the oldest CDNs, it is considered as the largest, most reliable global CDN."

4/5

What do you like best about Akamai Ion?

My opinion may not be in alignment with all the users out there. However, I want to share my honest opinion here. My experience with CDN and ION-Intelligent Open Network has been really good. My application can be upgraded, replaced, or even failed without taking the entire network down, it is something like Hot-swappable. Implementing this solution is a good exercise. Information is accessible in real-time, and system maintenance is less costly and less complex. It is really considered to be the most reliable global CDN available in the worldwide market today. Support team does good, I had quite some queries raised with them, reasonably good response from them I can say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akamai Ion?

Again my honest opinion here, Support team is really good, but I'm expecting a more faster and seamless experience from the same. I use the tool over time and budget is always a constraint for anybody at any point in time. My point here is the CDN should be made more developer friendly in terms of firewall configuration, UI experience and it should hurt my pocket as well. Cross platform integration is a challenge at times. There are bugs which the Company is actively taking care of time to time. Overall great tool and good experience I would say.

What problems is Akamai Ion solving and how is that benefiting you?

To the extent I use the CDN and ION with my existing projects, firewalls, DMZs, web pages, page landings, placeholders, URL, whitelisted IPs and URLs, blacklisted IPs and URLs, load balancers, middleware, web end, admin consoles, my purpose is served completely. My experience with them has been positive so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
