I can't say I'm impressed by Akamai, but then again, Zoom came out of nowhere and is likely to clean house in the B2B video conferencing space.
Maybe Fastly will give legacy players a run for their money.
Competition
Our platform spans several markets from cloud computing and cloud security to CDNs. We segment the competitive landscape into four key categories:
•Legacy CDNs like Akamai, Limelight, EdgeCast (part of Verizon Digital Media), Level3, and Imperva (for security); •Small business focused CDNs like InStart, Cloudflare, StackPath, and Section.io; •Cloud providers who are starting to offer compute functionality at the edge like Amazon’s CloudFront, AWS Lambda, and Google Cloud Platform; and •Traditional data center and appliance vendors like F5, Citrix, A10 Networks, Cisco, Imperva, Radware, and Arbor, as well as networks that offer a range of on-premise solutions for load balancing, WAF, and DDoS.
