We already know the APIs that are frequently getting used, so analysis becomes easier. We can integrate both products and use them."
"It's fine for a simple tool, but as I recall, if you encounter a lot of bots, scrapers, and other things, you'll need this tool bot and this other thing they offer called Bot Manager."
"The custom rules must be improved."
