May be you are talking to the wrong startups? We are a startup and we love to hire with such a mix of experience. Experience working at large and medium enterprises is really valuable(in addition to working at a startup). Did you get that feedback from multiple companies or is that something you are assuming based on not getting foot in the door?

Instead of spending lot of money on cycling machine, look for "Magnet Steel Bike Bicycle Indoor Exercise Trainer" on amazon. Decent stand to use your bike indoors for $50-$60

Agree regarding the uhms and yeahs being distracting. And agree with other poster that it should have been edited out. But as a note - I think, that is something cultural. It was an adjustment I had to make when I migrated to US. Growing up in India, it gave impression that you are paying attention, at-least in my circles.

Disclaimer: I am the founder. Device42 (http://www.device42.com) can help you with that. You can use us as a single source of truth for lot of things in IT ecosystem. We still need to add auto-discovery for FaaS/micro services, but any services that are not "serverless" can be discovered today with the state/user it is running under etc. And you can use REST APIs to automatically add/maintain state information for servlerless services today.

We moved from swiftype to google site search for our website, blog and docs. It worked really well, but looks like CSE will have ads and there is no way to turn it off. Any alternatives that others are using that work well across multiple web properties?

I am obviously biased for following(founder) and password mgmt is just one part of it, but do check out Device42 for a low cost password vault: http://www.device42.com/features/enterprise-password-managem...

There is no limit on # of passwords or # of users with the base license and has full Rest API support.

CMDB for the cloud era with REST APIs that can be used as a single source of truth for automating your IT infrastructure.

We integrate with ITSM tools like JIRA/servicenow, automation tools like puppet/chef. Integration with monitoring tools is coming soon.

Our tool does that and integrates with JIRA(hosted only for now): http://www.device42.com/features/cmdb/

It is self-hosted or we can host it for our customers(for web based solution). We are also working on JIRA cloud integration.

I am obviously biased here, but I think with Device42 you get auto-discovery and still same workflow with JIRA.

Not according to what I see. Here is a regular search for just cmdb and all I see is ads. http://imgur.com/iSHsRYB

We use swiftype. Can't compare with GSS because never actually used GSS, but swiftype seems to have better APIs, responsive support staff and good looking UI out of the box for end users. And we are quite happy with it.
