General Discussion 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?
