I have a couple of whinges about the Barracuda web filtering product we have (a 410, IIRC)
o- It will not simultaneously do its own logging and syslogging to a remote host. That kinda sucks because you have to choose between log correlation and spot monitoring via the fairly reasonable interface they provide. o- It seems to lose its mind every few months, requiring a reboot - it just stops passing ports 80 and 443, or rather it becomes *EXTREMELY* slow - on the order of minutes to load a page. The FreeBSD/Squid/Apache box I had running didn't have these problems, but the manager wanted something with commercial support.
