"Two years after the acquisition by Broadcom, 86 percent of VMware customers are actively working to reduce their dependence on the platform. This is according to research by CloudBolt, which shows that price pressure and strategic uncertainty are the main drivers. The research was conducted earlier this year among more than 300 IT decision-makers at large North American organizations. The results, reported by Ars Technica, show that the acquisition's impact continues to affect daily IT decisions."
"A majority of respondents experience the changes as disruptive, mainly due to higher costs and uncertainty about VMware's long-term plans. The switch to subscription licenses and changes in the partner and support model are also contributing to the unrest. Although extreme price increases are less common than initially feared, many organizations are reporting structural cost increases. At the same time, there is a widespread expectation that VMware will become even more expensive, which undermines confidence in long-term stability."

Organizations report higher costs, a shift to subscription licenses, and changes in partner and support models as disruptive. Many organizations see structural cost increases and expect further price rises, undermining confidence in long-term stability. Most organizations are phasing out parts of their VMware environments while keeping critical workloads in place. Public cloud platforms and Microsoft virtualization solutions are the most-considered alternatives. Smaller and medium-sized organizations face greater pressure due to mandatory bundles and reduced flexibility.
