1) are way more expensive than Cloudflare
2) suck at DDOS mitigation (there's a lot more to it than just bandwidth)
3) don't care much about DDOS mitigation (it is a side business from their actual business, which is edge caching)
4) drop customers who actually get hit with big DDOS attacks (see #3 above--they will always prioritize caching customers over DDOS customers)
EDIT- oh and I forgot to say that if your site is HTTPS, you will have to give Akamai your keys, just like you do with Cloudflare.
