unsatisfactoriness
State of disappointing
The quality or state of being unsatisfactory—failing to meet expectations or standards.
The word is cumbersome and rarely used; people usually find other ways to express the idea: The unsatisfactoriness of the arrangement became clear within weeks.
More often you'll hear "how unsatisfactory something is" or simply "the problem with."
