Most enterprise apps are truly ugly but what matters isn't looks but how many clicks or clacks it takes to get a specific task done. If you use the same app every day it hardly matters how pretty or even intuitive the app is.
- yuchi 12y agoActually this is true and it isn’t. I mean, for sure ‘how intuitive’ is not a good metric for enterprise products, which usually come along with a big bunch of days for training, because you have a small number of users, somehow forced to use your product for a long time. If you’re investing in reducing the ‘time to learn’ (learn the semantics of your product) you’re probably focusing on the wrong thing. Yet, all these products (and I work on those a lot) are not well designed as a symptom of missing care for the “cognitive cost” for the user. Anyway, the products listed in the post are way better than others. Which is sad :\
