User Testimonials
	Akamai Edge DNS	BloxOne Threat Defense
Likelihood to Recommend	Akamai 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.

Alternatives Considered	Akamai 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 Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Infoblox No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Akamai Fast DNS is core to our protection model, so while is an IT budget line item, is used to protect the entire org. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Infoblox No answers on this topic
