Most VMware users still "actively reducing their VMware footprint," survey finds

A recent survey by CloudBolt Software reveals that VMware customers are still facing challenges and uncertainties following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware over two years ago. The survey of 302 IT decision-makers at large North American companies highlights concerns such as price increases, uncertainty about Broadcom's plans, and changes in VMware's licensing and partner programs. While some customers reported significant price hikes, the majority experienced more modest increases. Despite this, 85% of respondents are worried about further price escalations, indicating ongoing struggles with VMware's pricing changes.
