Why Organisations Are Moving Away from VMware

NYC IT helpdesk icon

The Broadcom acquisition drastically changed VMware’s licensing model. Many organisations now face significant pricing increases and reduced licensing flexibility, especially across SMB and mid-market environments.

Businesses are switching platforms because of:

  • Sudden price increases and forced bundles

  • Discontinued partner + reseller support

  • Unpredictable long-term roadmap

  • Budget pressure & hardware refresh cycles

  • Need for a more flexible and scalable platform
