Embarcadero.com

It seems to me that the Embarcadero web site(s) are a complete mess.

 

I manage to find a resource one day and it's gone the next.

 

As examples, I was advised to use https://idera.secure.force.com/CG/ to get to Quality Portal. I managed to get in to the Portal earlier this year and make a feature request, I returned to view it today and when I click on the Quality Portal link, it wants my username and password again, but not the same one. It wants the username and password for the Registered Product Page. Incidentally, this page also has a link for Registered Product, which takes a lifetime to load and is out of date! I use this link https://members.embarcadero.com/Login.aspx?returnurl=http%3a%2f%2fcc.embarcadero.com%2fmyreg to access Registered Product, which works. However, the username and password I use to access Registered Product does not work for Quality Portal because it won't accept an email as a username it wants your "real" username and I have no idea what that is. Tried a couple of options and none of them work. 

 

Is it just me or is this a complete mess?

 

And is it beyond the wit of man to put links for all resources we need on one consistent web page with one username and password?

I access Quality Portal on https://quality.embarcadero.com/

It's the same page as I get to via  https://idera.secure.force.com/CG/.

 

Still doesn't accept my credentials.

 

But why all the different domains and different log ins required? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Well they're in the process to make a unique web experience. It will take maybe another 10-15 years. When finished it will be the greatest. I just hope that it will be more static. I wonder who thinks that those sliding topics at https://blogs.embarcadero.com/ is useful! It slides out before you could click. What's wrong with the traditional sites where you can see the links and click on them? (I know most probably they bought this technology and must showcase it everywhere, I will just visit the site only when it is necessary.)

I'll probably be dead by then!

I wonder if someone reads these sliding boxes.

Maybe heroes from the Marvel Universe are capable to read fast enough and click I just get headache when for some reason get to the site.

Well I've not seen that site before today! Yes, it is annoying and pointless.

 

I have made a note of the site for future reference. Of course, by the time I get around to looking at it, it will probably have moved somewhere else with n forwarding link.
