I know this is the second rant on a row about this, but I really need to hear someone saying that IBM enterprise software sucks. Nothing works, everything heavy and slow as fuck, documentation doesn't exist, official developer's forum gives me an error on login, many IBM official pages give me a 500 internal error. And, in the end, this costed as hundreds of thousands of euro. Seriously?

    Yeah, one of the worse companies to get in bed with (SAP might be a tie).

    The company I worked for uses a custom CMS (think WordPress, but much worse) built by IBM. No documentation, no support forums, crashed weekly and looks like it was built 20 years ago. Cost over a million... 🤷‍♂️

    IBM enterprise sucks, I'm working day to day with IBM Notes.

    It's cringy as fuck, nothing works, nothing is obvious. You need to get teached on every little shitfuck feature it offers you.

    I truly hated it from day 1. But there is no way out if you are already using it :(

    The worst part, our company signed special integration features and none of them are used after a few years. Worth the money, right?

    @010001111 oh right, cringy is the correct word. And how the fuck is possible that a simple action requires 10 separate not obvious operations? I mean, I'm not even trying to do something hacky, I just want to use the software for the purpose that he has been creating.

    Then, a page takes something like 20-30 seconds to load. It's like 30 seconds for every click (and an action requires 10 operations as I said..). But I don't know if this is IBM's fault or its just our company's dev ops

    @crisz I actually don’t know what it was called, but we all referred to it as “FUZE.” If I remember correctly, there was a system inside of it called “portal” or “portals” which was responsible for managing a bunch of links and media. It’s been 2 years since I used it.
