“Negative” views of Broadcom driving thousands of VMware migrations, rival says
Rival company Nutanix claims to have attracted around 30,000 VMware customers due to dissatisfaction with Broadcom's handling of VMware since its acquisition in November 2023. Customers are reportedly unhappy with VMware's increasing costs, bundled products, end of perpetual licenses, and strained relationships with channel partners under Broadcom's ownership. Nutanix's CEO highlighted that the migration trend is particularly strong among mid-market customers, with some of the largest quarterly customer additions in eight years attributed to VMware migrations. Western Union is cited as an example of a company moving from VMware to Nutanix to enhance customer focus, despite previous positive interactions with Broadcom.
