CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams buried in false positives from their existing detection stack should evaluate Akamai Hunt for its managed threat hunting model; you're outsourcing investigation work to Akamai's analysts rather than building internal hunt capability, which trades flexibility for speed on evasive threats. The zero false positive guarantee backed by expert validation directly addresses the alert fatigue problem most teams cite when justifying new tooling. Skip this if your organization needs hunt automation you control internally or lacks the network telemetry depth to feed the service; Hunt works best when you've already instrumented flow data and segmentation policies across your environment.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with fragmented data across multiple SIEMs, data lakes, and cloud platforms will get the most from Query.AI Federated Detections because it runs threat hunts and detections without forcing you to centralize or ingest everything into a single repository. The library of 1,000+ pre-built FSQL recipes lets you start detecting in days rather than months of tuning custom correlation rules. Skip this if your organization has already consolidated on a single SIEM with deep historical retention and wants tight coupling to your existing detection workflow; Query.AI shines when data governance or cost makes centralization impractical, not when you already have it.
