@Dashrender said in SuiteCRM - Followup impressions:

Did anyone use it at all during the 'trial' period? or did end users just at it and walk away?

I love the fact that the company at least was willing to try something - then move to something else.. instead of just being stuck.. it might be costly to do so.. but at least they are working toward a solution they will hopefully like and works well for them.

Yes. It was used by a trial group. But then afterwards, it was never a) forced or b) even pushed on the main users.

And arguing about the word "critical".

Specifically

"Critical" means everything outside "critical" is OK from the sources. So it's like "critical" is even more a niche than "any" production usage. That's why I think this wording is not fit: every production load (ie in a company) makes sense. Hobbyist is clearly not related to "production", that's why "critical" word isn't needed here

Critical in the business sense, means I need support, supporting it yourself is not an option.

Yup, I prefer wget but have mostly stopped using it (or installing it.) I learned wget before I knew of curl (this is all long ago.) Today, I just assume that I have curl and wget is nearly never there.

@dengelhardt that's a good point that people often miss - there are cases where using VLANs unnecessarily can cause traffic to have to "loop" through a router to return to the same device. In the case of VoIP phones acting as small switches at the desk it's the switch inside the phone doing it.

I had to deal with a network just a few weeks ago that had five routers and three switches, one of which was still on FastEthernet (10/100.)
They managed to make nearly all traffic have to pass through the slow switch for nearly everything. And some things looped through routers that were attached on both ends to the same VLAN!! It was insane.
