    Well suited when you have a high-turnover staffing model or can't get everyone trained on security best practices. Also well suited as a starting place for getting a zero-trust network up and running. A tool like Fast DNS gives you a web based portal to see traffic analysis, too, which for us was very important.

    Because they have been around so long and are so well known there is a high level of confidence in their product. They have a full range of PKI products and are excellent support. They have always been available whenever we had a question. I would say that they are the gold standard in PKI.

    • There are so many purveyors of SSL certificates or SSL certificate resalers today. Entrust is not competitive on price.

    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

    Entrust offers an easy to use, fully featured cloud framework for certificate management. This framework is very solid and highly recommended as it gives my business the ability to remain agile while giving persistence to my overall security posture.

    Akamai
    • Fast DNS is core to our protection model, so while is an IT budget line item, is used to protect the entire org.
