Ушел к другому, или топ-6 причин, почему клиенты меняют вендоров ITSM-решений

Привет, Хабр! Эту статью написал вендор ITSM-решений. Поэтому вы вправе ожидать толстого самопиара в духе «мы лучше всех, выбирайте нас». Но мы пойдем другим путем. За годы работы накопились сотни разговоров с клиентами — кто уходил и кто возвращался. Мы научились видеть в этих историях закономерности, о которых в отрасли не принято говорить вслух. В статье — откровенный разбор причин, по которым компании меняют ITSM-вендора. Мы покажем, как закрываем эти боли. А еще расскажем, по каким причинам уходят от нас, почему с этим не боремся и порой сами отговариваем клиентов от покупки нашего решения. Читайте, если уже задумывались о смене вендора.

Почему OpenAI Assistants не подошёл для сложных AI-агентов

OpenAI Assistants не хватило гибкости для сложной логики. Свой бэкенд превратился в операционный ад — 50% времени на поддержку вместо разработки. Agent Builder создавал vendor lock-in. Как мы решили эту проблему в Soft Skills Lab.

@kuketzblog Gestern unsere Domain vom #Google Workspace auf eine eigene #Nextcloud umgezogen. Wahnsinn, was der #VendorLock so alles für Einzelherausforderungen mit sich bringt. Aber: Der nächste Schritt ist getan. Auch die ständige Preistreibereien haben dann ein Ende! #Souveränität ist eine Mission …

Why Austria’s Military is Ditching Big Tech for Open Source

In the quiet corridors of Vienna’s Rossau Barracks, a strategic shift is underway that has little to do…

Как мы ушли от vendor lock-in: декларативная архитектура, которая не привязана ни к AWS, ни к Яндекс.Облаку

Статья основана на реальном опыте разработки и эксплуатации системы в течение 28 месяцев: от MVP до попытки миграции. Ни один сервис не был вымышленным. Ни одна цифра — не придумана. Читать

@bert_hubert Wat ik fascinerend vind is dat het nu alleen maar gaat over Amerikaanse providers versus Europese aanbieders. Vrije #opensource-software wordt in het hele artikel niet genoemd. Ik heb moeite met het in machtsblokken / unies denken. Wat mij betreft zou de focus op #FOSS en #selfhosting moeten liggen. Dan heb je pas #DigtaleSoevereiniteit en #DigitaleAutonomie. Veel #gemeenten hebben nu bijvoorbeeld ook een #vendorlock bij het Nederlandse #Centric. Dat is net zo problematisch.

Geht #Synology den Weg der #Druckerhersteller?

Die Firma beschränkt künftig die Kompatibilität seiner neuen #NAS-Modelle der Plus-Serie auf eigene oder zertifizierte #Festplatten.

Funktionen wie #Deduplizierung und automatische #Firmware-Updates sind nur mit diesen nutzbar. Nutzer*innen müssen mit höheren Kosten rechnen, erhalten laut Synology jedoch mehr Systemstabilität und Support. Geräte vor 2025 sind von der Änderung größtenteils ausgenommen.

Regarding latest changes in Bambu Lab firmware:

https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/

Here's my complaint ticket to them with small changes removing some personal information.

> Hi.
>
> I'm writing you to let you know that I'm disappointed by recent changes in the firmware for your printers.
>
> This change doesn't affect what I am **currently** doing as a beginner 3D printing enthusiast. But I'm also advocating for ability to self-host automations and other stuff. I was also planning to check out possibilities of automation of my printer via self-hosted smart home solutions and using my printer without cloud.
> These changes indicate that the company moves in the direction I can't personally approve and support.
>
> When I was buying your product, I disliked that your firmware is proprietary and very cloud-oriented. But since you were advertising LAN-only mode, I decided to still try. I really liked the quality of your product. But if you're now moving in the direction of making usage of LAN mode and external tools less convenient, I personally will avoid buying your products in the future.
>
> I own an A1 and was thinking of buying P1S. But now I'm going to reconsider my choice if I don't see any changes.
> I was also planning to record an episode of my podcast to talk about 3D printing also recommending your products to beginners. But I'm going to reconsider that too unless something changes in a good way.
>
> This is not an ultimatum of any kind. It's just an honest feedback from your customer who was very glad with his purchase just yesterday and now thinks that he probably made a mistake.
>
> P.S. In my personal opinion, all restricting changes should be completely Opt-In so my printer won't force me to have "a better security" at the cost of my ability to use it as I want to. I was calling you "Apple of 3D printers, but in a good way" when talking with my peers. Now last part is probably going to change to "in a bad way". And I'm not an Apple user.
>
> Thank you for your time.

Now I'll be waiting for their response when they return from Chinese New Year holidays.

P.S. If you own a Bambu Lab printer and doesn't approve those changes, I recommend writing them ticket too.

О чем эта статья Вендор NVMe дисков предоставлял пригодные для обновления прошивки под ОС GNU/Linux, но это изменилось. В статье разбираюсь с новым форматом прошивок и возвращаю возможность обновления.

Ok, it seems to me to be more and more difficult to buy ebooks. Wiley ? You endup needed a dedicated software (vitalsource), Oreilly ? You need a subscription and the oreilly app. Amazon ? Kindle.

And for people without macOS, Windows, or a Kindle, forget it.

Yes, I'm aware of DRM free ebooks, but sometimes you need or want a specific book which is DRM protected.

I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

На YouTube появился доклад тех самых трёх польских хакеров исследовавших странную блокировку поездов.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlrbfGZo2k

Занятное зрелище, интересные находки. Местами легко представить себе менеджера компании-производителя, который приходит к разработчикам с очередной великолепной идеей.

К слову, на всех трёх героев презентации можно подписаться в феди. Оставлю ссылки в первом комменте чтобы не втягивать их потенциально в тред.

@[email protected] yeah, that's what I know for like a decade...

Also it's not a simple #VendorLock but a #Whitelist of PCI-IDs, MAC Adress- and IMEI Number Ranges, so it's not enough to have i.e. a #Lenovo-rebranded #Fibocom #850GL which is a rebadged #Intel #XMM7360, but only the version offered for i.e. the #ThinkPad #P15v will be accepted and initialized.

@anarresti @Fairphone @frameworkcomputer Bzgl.#hp bin ich nicht gut zu sprechen weil die #FUD mitels 'softem' "#VendorLock" auf #RAM machen:

Wenn das RAM nicht hp-branded ist brickt es #PXE-Boot und automatische Starts und wirft bei JEDEM (!!!) [Re-]Boot ne Bullshit-Fehlermeldung die stets manuell per F1 auf der Gerätetastatur ümnestätigt werden muss.

Ich finde das ne absolute Gängelung und #AntiRepair-Maßnahme welche anders als z.B. Allowlistings für #WLAN & #WWAN keine valide Begründung hat!

Ihr könnt Euch nicht vorstellen wie sehr das sucked, wenn man weiß wie viele davon schon längst in der #VendorLock-Hodenpresse von MS sind.

Ja der #azure cloud stack ist super duper, aber von Unabhängigkeit zu sprechen, wenn eine #CIO damit erstmal begonnen hat ist mindestens putzig naive.

Wenn ich nach #WireGuard schaue, sehe ich Posts, wo sich Personen freuen, dass ihre Fritz!Box nun endlich WireGuard unterstützt. Freie Routerbetriebssysteme wie #OpenWrt oder #VyOS haben schon seit langem diese Unterstützung. Ich finde es schade, dass so viele proprietäre Routerbetriebssysteme verwenden 😐🙁😭

Okay, the new FS Box very approved : After less than 30 seconds after unboxing, had my transceivers flashed.

Finally 10 Gbit out of my proprietary modem thanks to #VendorLock : Now spoofing Cisco.

🎉 Say, you're developing a web service and there's an Open Source technology that you feel like could help you but you've never used it before.

☁️ And there's a closed source cloud platform that provides you with exactly the same functionality as that technology in a vendor specific way.

❓Which one would you choose?
