I think administrative overhead is the hidden cost that a lot of technology vendors fail to consider. Microsoft is especially guilty of this. Is a “good” product that requires an obscene amount of esoteric knowledge and experience to maintain really that good?

Yeah, I’m definitely not the biggest fan of HCI, especially the reporting aspect of it. I had to write my own damn reports just to see how badly we over provisioned disks once we found out it only reports on actual utilization.
I tolerate Microsoft products and admin them, but damn they’re annoying to use at times.
