"The implementation could be simplified."
"There are some issues with the performance. We also had some issues while updating the firmware."
"Some features I have found to be hidden and cannot be accessed through the graphical user interface, you can only access them through the command-line interface(CLI). All the features should be accessible through the graphical user interface."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
