Fastly (Signal Sciences) integrates and tags the intermittent traffic based on patterns. It generates signals and provides them in a dashboard where we can view them and decide whether to allow or deny traffic. It's a more advanced and easy-to-navigate dashboard.

When configuring a web application firewall using Signal Sciences, we configure a rule whereby no one except a few people can access the application.

Fastly don't support caching for China users. That's the only feature lacking compared to Akamai.

Even if we create some custom rules, Signal Sciences cannot capture some of the malicious traffic.

The areas that could be improved in Signal Sciences include the effectiveness of rules, as many didn't function optimally and required custom rule-writing to address bypasses for WAF.
