The critical business risk that VMware poses
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, license costs have climbed by 150% to 1,000%, standard-tier support is being eliminated in favor of costly premium plans, and VMware’s product roadmap and partner incentives have been completely reset.
Sudden operating expense spikes will compress margins. The redirection of funds to licenses will stall cloud, data and AI projects. VMware’s new go-to-market approach could lock you into choices that limit future flexibility.
What the numbers say
According to IDC, customers that migrated off VMware have seen:
