"The process of configuring firewall rules appears excessively complex."
"The solution lacks sufficient filtering."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."

"We raised a support ticket, and the project didn't get a proper response. There was a skill issue in TAC support."
