These aspects are also the main reason for this documentation process."

The issue is with HTTPS services. I am not sure if they have changed all these in the solution’s latest version."
"One of Barracuda's limitations is its user interface. The GUI for configuration is not intuitive and has remained largely unchanged for the past 10 to 12 years."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"Barracuda Web Application Firewall's load balancing feature could be improved."
"If you know nothing about networks, then you can't set it up."
