Quest was Dell’s Vietnam

Pros

Quest was a pretty good standalone company, but the CEO & Chairman needed to leave for it to grow. They didn’t, so Dell bought it. At least Dell was good about paying share options.

Cons

Dell invaded Quest like the US invading Vietnam. Installed a puppet government and then destroyed it. Then pulled out declaring victory. Too weird.

It sounds like your feedback was intended for Dell leaders instead of the current leadership of Quest. I hope that you've found a great new role. Best of luck

Pros

Products do what they are designed to do. (unfortunately, not all software companies can say this). Products solve real problems faced by IT operations. Many customers are loyal to the brand.

Cons

New private equity owners are driving out costs and starving innovation as a consequence. Development and marketing are slowly but surely being starved. Growth in new license sales is slowing. Maintenance renewals are keeping the company afloat.

I completely agree that Quest has products that do what they are designed to do - and very well. There is a miscategorization of cost reductions following the divestiture from Dell. Staff reductions resulted from two things: the change in organization to accommodate a Go to Market structure focused on business units and the difference between the needs of a 150,000+ employees company versus a much smaller company. Quest is investing in growth through product development. Our results were sufficient to pay a mid year bonus to employees. I see a very different company than you do. Best of luck in your new role.
