One of the most irritating things I see in the market, is when a feature or service that is commonly free turns into a fee based. Especially, when it can mislead end users, who maybe unaware that the feature or service is not needed. I have seen this with a couple of vendors and thought to myself, are they kidding me?

Often misleading in a vendor’s pitch is that they are truly global, when in fact nothing could be farther than the truth. Many vendors service multi-conglomerates that are international, rather than companies that are based only in country x and no where else. Ease of use is the common denominator.
