They can make a lot more consulting dollars on marginal software than for something that was sanely designed and worked well.

Thats my experience with them and qradar. Its literally littered with bugs and instead of fixing them they just made a new version with literally 0 things shared with the old one, naming it qradar+ (nice naming btw, next time it call it qradar 2)

A friend's startup competes with Maximo, and IBM's "in-place version upgrade" has not yet been completed for a client with less than a year-long consultant engagement to fix changes that are both forwards AND backwards incompatible. Might as well be a new system.
