Salesforce
Honestly for the life of me I can't see why any company would use Salesforce.
Honestly for the life of me I can't see why any company would use Salesforce. It is the furthest away from an AI-native platform possible. Our CEO won't move off Salesforce because "it's where our data is" but it's so broken, hurts attribution, and the sales team hates using it.

Decent tool but we rarely used 10% of the features.
Decent tool but we rarely used 10% of the features. We just needed a board for projects and tasks, which was easy to build with Claude Code. Adios Asana.

Wix
I guess technically it’s a website platform, but it’s incredibly difficult to make even simple updates.
I guess technically it’s a website platform, but it’s incredibly difficult to make even simple updates. Sure, it’s cheaper than hiring a developer. But now that you can have AI build your site, I’m migrating all my clients sites off Wix.

ClickUp
From X“Closed his agency's ClickUp account. Work now runs in Slack with agents watching channels, and they're building an internal tool that joins ClickUp, Clockify, Notion and their own stack. ClickUp with AI add-ons was about $9.4k a year; the new setup will be almost free to run.”

Beehiiv
From X“Got no response and no support. Paid the higher amount anyway because he couldn't risk losing his list.”

Figma
From X“We just cancelled our enterprise plan, and I just can't see how they recover from this. If you don't know what I'm talking about, spend a few minutes with Claude Design.”
