Yeah that was a very bizarre grouping of software. I’ve never before heard Photoshop or Excel referred to as enterprise.
There is a lot of bad enterprise software out there, Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP are basically catalogs of it. The fundamental problem as I’ve seen it relates to contracts and integration. Good software, the user can bail at any time.
There is a very simple set of red flags: the company doesn’t list a price, you have to talk to a sales person, and you have to sign a long term contract. I’m not aware of any software that fits those three that is enjoyed by its users.
