A 12-step upgrade procedure is insane [1] [2]. It's like they want people to ditch their product. I have an extremely basic setup that took 5 minutes to start using. Why is this not a one-click upgrade?

- syncerr 5y agobc their target market is not developers
- wussboy 5y agoBingo. Their target market is the managers and decision makers who don't have time or knowledge to do anything other than look at the Magic Quadrant and tell their team which to implement.
- nightski 5y agoI find it amusing someone actually had to take the effort to classify those and find a way to differentiate what constituted "very low effort" vs. "low effort" or how many meetings were involved.
- dbbk 5y agoThe upgrade procedure doesn't even transfer historical data, so you're going to lose all year-over-year comparisons.
- monkeybutton 5y agoThat's one way to stop vendor lock-in by data hostage taking; just kill the hostage!
- notreallyserio 5y agoIt's always amazing to see companies make upgrading harder than moving to their competitors.
- tootie 5y agoI honestly wonder if it's deliberate to shake out all the free tier customers who can't afford a migration. It's a plausible approach if they are shifting strategy to deep-pocketed enterprise customers.
