Criticisms
Early versions of Pivotal CRM employed a proprietary scripting language and development environment. This posed a problem for in-house development teams that had, or wanted to have, a Microsoft-centric skill set that could be applied to other problems. The development tools were graphical & not always welcomed by developers who preferred to see lines of code on the screen. Owing to the success of the early Pivotal versions, and the initial absence of any strategy on the vendor's part to migrate customers to Pivotal's next-generation platform, many of the largest Pivotal sites in the install base continue to use a proprietary language.

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
