Comments on: Buying Software Sucks http://nicholas.piasecki.name/blog/2010/01/buying-software-sucks/ Confessions of a small business software developer Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:02:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Alex http://nicholas.piasecki.name/blog/2010/01/buying-software-sucks/comment-page-1/#comment-1930 Alex Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:02:01 +0000 http://nicholas.piasecki.name/blog/?p=522#comment-1930 Have you looked at any OS ERP solutions? We are checking out OpenBravo and Adempiere. Have actually been looking for a solution for close to 5 years. Have a custom php WMS system we built in 2000 that still works better than most. Problem is to develop needed features like multiple warehouse support and kitting is cost and time prohibitive. Ideally need to find a solution with an active community that we can build upon.

Nothing is ever easy: installing/registering, upgrading, customer support...it all sucks. I've never had a good phone call with them...they are always rude, arrogant bastards.

I just posted similar complaints, I then went out looking for more people like myself who are completely frustrated by software Ponzi schemes. I actively tried calling M$ in my investigation process and couldn't get through the front door. I avtively got redirected to their crapware sales network. Endless calls to Sage finally yielded some results and we ended up with their software but I would have waited before making the decision. Alas - I have to deal with what we've got because it was rushed through. I find the resellers and partners are pretty ignorant about the products they sell let alone how to install, configure or support it. By the way Lisa Microsoft doesn't rock anything but your wallet. I think one day, I'll just say F it dude and just go bowling! Bang on man!
