Unsatisfactory

Hi,
Which of these sounds more natural? I’ve heard the second one used, but not the first:

This is completely unsatisfactory. (‘This’ in general e.g. ‘what has happened’ i.e. no gender, neutral form)
· Esto es completamenteinsatisfactorio.
· Me quedo muy insatisfecho.

The first it is said "Esto no es satisfactorio", leaving out "completamente" because it sounds redundant.

No lo sé, pero ese 'muy' lo veo como que está de más, que sobra, que redunda.
Yo diría "me deja insatisfecho"
