Dominic Johnson, an IT manager at Golding, has lost faith in VMware following Broadcom's acquisition, which he claims led to declining support and essential service changes. As AWS no longer supports on-demand servers with VMware Cloud, Johnson decided to migrate to Nutanix to ensure reliable disaster recovery. Similarly, MSIG Insurance's assistant VP Yew Wei Kee felt similarly disheartened by a 300-400% price increase for VMware's new licensing and turned to Nutanix, leaving behind a long-standing relationship with VMware. Both companies cite a lack of benefit from the changes post-acquisition.
Johnson expressed his frustration with Broadcom's changes: 'I’m pretty infuriated with Broadcom for making changes that brought no obvious benefit and made me replace a system that worked.'
Kee voiced disappointment over VMware’s pricing strategy after the acquisition, highlighting how their long history with VMware didn't matter when faced with exorbitant new licensing fees.
