Cloudflare vs Akamai, Which one to choose for Edge Security & CDN?

I have been evaluating both for a mid-to-large scale setup and want real & true opinions before committing.

The usual debate: Akamai looks like the best choice for enterprise, but Cloudflare's developer experience and pace of innovation are hard to ignore.

Curious about your take on:

• WAF quality and false positive rates
• CDN performance (especially in Asia-Pacific markets)
• Configuration complexity (Property Manager or Cloudflare dashboard)
• Whether Akamai's support actually justifies the cost

Also, has anyone worked with consultants like Evolvous Consultation Services to handle onboarding and setup for either platform? Worth it or unnecessary overhead?
