The portal is a tool for getting work done,
but using the portal is too much work.
© AKAMAI - EDGE 2017
I already have a
task in mind
when I log-in
I can’t see
features that
aren’t on my
contract
I shouldn't have to call Akamai for them
to push a button for us.
The UI quality doesn't match
the quality of the products—
it's frustrating
When I was new I had
no idea where to click
I do the same tasks
every time I log in
Contextual
navigation always
trips me up.
Finding what I need
is cumbersome
I have a few views
that I always keep
open in a tab
