Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly.

Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned.

The product should provide improved bot detection and management.

It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production.
