Ask HN: What is the best enterprise software you use every day?

Funny but I had the exact opposite experience with it back when I worked in the space like 10 years ago. The software was clunky and borderline unusable, every bit of the system was proprietary (I remember we had to pay $10K a pop for connector cables, which each came with their own limited license), support was clueless, and there was no ecosystem to speak of (again due to their tight controls).

The expense I think is just a side effect of working in this space. Mayne when things open up prices will go down. As for the softwares usability, I don't know how much it's changed in the 10 years since you saw it last, but I really like it. Everything is clickable, the work flow for flashing, symbol loading, fiddling with registers + peripherals, is better than really any other system I've used in the space.

Just a quick note on the $10K: The biggest part of that is the license itself. You can store multiple licenses on each connector cable, but you won't save much because, as I said, the license is the expensive part.

I have to disagree with you on their support. But things may have changed since 10 years ago.
