Pros

can you give me a minute while I try and think of one.

Cons

Close yours eyes and imagine getting the crap beat out of you every day by the biggest kids on the playground . Working as a Pivot3 sales rep you'll have to fight some of the biggest tech giants in the industry; EMC, VMWare, Dell, HP, Cisco and Nutanix. You'll get constantly beat down by these giants and you'll have zero advantage over them ! You wont have better technology , You wont have a better sales or SE team. You wont have better funding, R&D, pricing, documentation, channels , support, pro-services, inside sales, marketing or technology partnerships. Marketing may put out some great stuff touting how awesome Pivot3 is but as soon as prospects kick the tires they’ll soon realize its just a bunch of fluff. In the land of HCI there is simply no good reason for a prospect to choose Pivot3 when there are so many other choices from Big companies with solid technology and that our financially stable .

I'm sorry to read about your frustrations in the field. I think there are lots of good reasons that customers should- and do- select Pivot3, and that only improves with our latest release. But I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and to hear your challenges first-hand; we're working hard to make Pivot3 a place where everyone is excited to come to work. Hearing your concerns is the first step in correcting the issues. You know where to reach me; I'm the Chief Marketing Officer. Thanks.
