Technical support from AlgoSec has been inconsistent; response times can be slow and assistance is sometimes inadequate in addressing complex issues.

One improvement I see for AlgoSec is implementing an optimized rule cleanup and recertification process to address the challenge of companies neglecting clean-up recommendations.

Right now, pushing policies is restricted to some OEMs; we can delete unwanted policies for many OEMs, but while pushing new policies, I've noticed challenges with Fortinet and Sophos or SonicWall.

When it comes to improvements or things that can be a bit frustrating, I think they really come down to the realities of deploying a massive enterprise platform rather than actual deficiencies in the software itself.
