Overall Satisfaction with Akamai Ion
Akamai Ion is the product name for Akamai's Content Delivery Network services. This enables you to push your content closer to the end users requesting web pages from your web site, thus decreasing time-to-first-byte, reducing round-trip requests and improving performance for the user. We use it on all of the web sites.
Pros
- Ease of management with good UI for making rules and behaviors.
- There is also an API and Code integration for the advanced Dev-Ops team to use as well.
Cons
- The learning curve on using a CDN is steep and requires class time. The initial onboarding and integration with the business' DevOps teams should be a bit closer relationship.
- Global vs. Regional management can be a bit challenging if your account is centralized overseas, and you want a local time-zone account manager on your time.
- Improved conversion rates.
- Reduced page load times.
