They're just another one of the numerous examples of enterprise software out there. Overgeneralised and overabstracted, promising everything and probably capable of it, but not doing any one thing particularly well while consuming inordinate amounts of both machine and human resources... and they somewhat mirror the bureaucracy of the companies that use them.
Thankfully I don't work in that space, but just reading some of the descriptions of these systems and software (and "platforms", "solutions", etc.) is enough to make my head spin.
