"The configuration is relatively complex."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."

"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The web interface could be much better."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
