That BS article was clearly written by Broadcom marketing. There are numerous articles and surveys quoting more than 50% of VMware customers are leaving. ATT is openly suing Broadcom due to a 10x increase and there are many reports of higher increases than 10x. What a garbage article.
VCF marketing is working overtime planting stories like this
Oh! They ran an anonymous secret survey and they found that customers love VMware? Why are these customers silent? Paying 10x just made them realize how much they love VMware?
At Omnissa, many of our EUC customers are assessing their options. Few still trust us following the transition from VMware to Broadcom and then to KKR. The message came thru loud and clear -- nobody wants to keep this asset. The eventual outcome is another fire sale when the MBAs at KKR are done squeezing this lemon dry.
I talk to customers, mostly strategic segment, all day. This article is so out of touch as to be laughable. I honestly can't remember the last customer conversation where they didn't mention their "migrate away from VMware" strategy, they are all looking for areas to cut our software (really Broadcom) out of their DC.
OVHcloud has established a significant partnership with Broadcom. In June 2024, OVHcloud US became a VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) Pinnacle tier partner in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program for North America.
Sounds like an honest survey!
Not!
Just another marketing ploy.
