Working with a new CMS this week that a company has no doubt just paid a fortune for... and it's a nightmare. Built for anyone but the users, despite supposedly being bang up to date.
So, go on, what are the worst packages/platforms you've used?

Lotus Notes...the worst by far.

Endnote used to be really bad (bibliography software popular in the sciences). It seems ok now but it's basically turd-polishing as their fundamental design for managing references just isn't that usable.

SAP

+1 for endnote
hours of my life wasted...Posted 6 months ago # -
iTunes, no question.

Microsoft Word. It never fails to infuriate me.
EDIT: I just saw someone mentioned iTunes - this is on par with Word for being infuriating!

Norton antivirus and itunes, both invasive **** evil bits of software.

Avast anti-virus. Complete resoruce hog and kept killing the computer.

+1 for Lotus Notes
Also, a very obscure package called HECSALV or POSSE, depending on where you are using it, it is absolute sh!te!Posted 6 months ago # -
Lotus Notes, definitely. The email program is the least intuitive one I have used since PINE.

+1 SAP - who put together this dross?

Novel.

Word - keeps auto formatting stuff, MS Front page is a bit annoying, MS Project, no idea how that's supposed to work.
ANything written without serious amounts of user input (which is unfortunately rather a lot of software).

System Architect - brings out the worst in my proletarian roots and language

itunes? really?
I've a cousin, she's 8, she manages just fine.

+lots SAP. So bad you can't really believe they were serious. The fact that it is hugely successful and used by most large companies says...what?

iTunes by a country mile
Posted 6 months ago # -
Sounds like a pattern forming!
For me it's SAP in a work environment and at home it's itunes and I normally end up having to sort everyones phones out on it!

Itunes.
Itunes put me off buying anything Apple related, even though daughter and wife have iPods of many different sizes. Hate it with a passion.

Ellipse, a maintenance management database/tool, truly clunky shite, not helped by the complete idiots that try and manage the beast that it has become. It has truly become the tail that wags the dog in my industry.
ohh and it struggles to run on windows so how it's supposed to work on an iPad/phone as an App I don't know.

The new cms isn't Alterian is it? If so i feel your pain!

Lotus Notes - why does clicking on them make buttons depress, but nothing happen? Honourable mentions to iTunes, MS Project and especially SAP.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Close between Lotus Notes and itunes.
Posted 6 months ago # -
+whatever for iTunes.
If it's really designed for the consumer Market, why make it so f---ing difficult to use. Utterly non-intuitive.
Posted 6 months ago # -
My work is about to bring in SAP. Never used it. Is it really that bad?

+1 for hp openview nnm. You are just left with the impression you should be able to do so much more with it.
+1 for lostus notes, just awful.
itunes is excelent

Lotus notes
closely followed by
iTunes*
* with relation to iOS devices. It's fine apart from that.
edit: oh and iPM
Posted 6 months ago # -
itunes. I loath it with a passion. OSX is great, but whoever created itunes should be poked with a pointy stick. In the eye.

Anything by Microsoft, utter shite.
SAP is fine if implemented well. The problem is most places can't get around how integrated it is and therefore complicated it is to spec, design and implement.
