Convenient and simple interface, most of the necessary parameters can be set by simply selecting a checkbox.

For most CMS, this is quite enough, but if you need to configure the server to work with additional components that are not presented in the PU web interface, knowledge of the command line will be required. Also, work with files is not done in the control panel itself, but through the console or through local FTP programs.
