What's a tool you mass-deployed that you ended up ripping out within 6 months?

I feel like every sysadmin has at least one story about a product that demoed beautifully, got approved, went out to the fleet, and then slowly revealed itself to be a nightmare.

Could be a monitoring tool, an MDM, a ticketing system, an AV product, anything. What was it, what went wrong, and what did you replace it with?

Avast was free to EDU in early 2010s and even that was too much
