I'm trying to think of an Akamai acquisition that has worked out but coming up blank.

Prolexic (security), Blaze.io ("front-end" web app performance), SOASTA (web performance monitoring) - all integrated into Akamai flagship products & continuously improved.

Disclaimer: Worked @ Akamai

Thanks, I hadn't heard of any of those but good to know they can be decent custodians.

Mind sharing your previous experience? Expensive? bad customer support? poor product?
