"The scalability could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."

"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
