In terms of improvement, overall, Akamai Bot Manager is a strong solution, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One is the learning curve for new users because the platform offers many configuration options and detailed analytics. It can take time for teams to become fully comfortable with tuning policies and interpreting reports. Another area for improvement is reporting and dashboard customization. While the existing visibility is very good, having more flexible and user-friendly reporting options would make it easier to create tailored views for different stakeholders. Additionally, more out-of-the-box guidance and recommendations for policy tuning could help organizations accelerate deployment and reduce the effort required during the initial setup. One additional area for improvement would be simplifying policy management for organizations that have many applications and APIs. As deployment grows, having more automation and AI-driven recommendations for policy tuning could help reduce administrative effort. One additional improvement I would mention is enhancing automation and operational efficiency. For example, more AI-driven recommendations for policy tuning, anomaly detection, and remediation actions could help the security team respond even faster to evolving bot threats.
