“Negative” views of Broadcom driving thousands of VMware migrations, rival says

Nutanix says about 30,000 customers have moved from VMware to its platform amid backlash over Broadcom’s VMware strategy.

Higher costs, the end of perpetual licenses, forced bundling, and weaker channel support are pushing customers to switch.

Western Union is also in the process of moving applications to Nutanix, underscoring the scale of the migration trend.

Broadcom’s pricing and licensing changes could weaken VMware’s position, especially with SMB and mid-market buyers.
