Vantaggi
good product but large customers shying away due to lack of confidence in road map. good support group but can they keep up with the more sophisticated support needs of larger customers? (Large customers might save ExaGrid-- might)
Svantaggi
I read through the reviews and see a lot about a "self-centered CEO". They always have a yes man, a side-kick though. That adds up to two that need to move on. The current plan (see it in the trade rags: Ramp up the sales team with more and more; even "1000 can be added in the field" says the Bill. No CFO, No VP Marketing, No VP Product Development. No VP Customer Support. No VP R&D. Looks like the classic "I'm the smartest guy in the room" deception. That kind of person "knows not that he knows not." And if you tell him he "knows not" then you're the idiot. Reversal control. And a healthy amount of passive aggressiveness piled on top. Several quotes from the Bill in the trades on IPO in the next few years. Hasn't happened. Back-of-the-brain, self-fulfilling prophecy at work? "if we grow enough to get to an IPO, I can't control everyone and everything."
