Missing off the shelf monitoring integrations (e.g. no log push service) and a very limited monitoring integration. Additionally, the relationship between the Fastly CDN and NextGen WAF is limited and confusing: not every signal can be observed within the CDN, only basic information of Signals is available to the CDN, CDN and NGWAF make use of different IP geolocation providers (Maxmind vs Digital Elements) for an inconsistent behaviour.
