I’ve been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about VMware. The cutting of services and licensing changes of the cost of core offerings are huge issues. Is anyone planning or budgeting to change to another hypervisor? If so what?

I work in sales. I don’t sell anything related to VMware directly but customers bring it up. They are looking at other alternatives. Not sure what changed In the last two weeks but there has been an uptick in my customers talking about it. It’s early stage, so they haven’t decided on the path but they’ve decided they need to leave.
Broadcom acquired VMware and has a reputation for making good value products into poor value product in the industry. They seem to be doing just that.
That was months ago. Two weeks ago all my customers seemed to come to the conclusion, it’s time to leave.
I would have planned to leave as soon as I heard the announcement. Broadcom just raises prices, cuts support unless you’re their target customers.
I think the penny dropped when layoffs were announced and channel partners were cut off.
