Gartner predicts 55 percent of enterprise VMware users will be investigating an exit by 2029
Chasing pack has its problems too, with maturity, cost, and complex licenses
Gartner, the analyst firm, predicts that by 2029, approximately half of VMware users will start evaluating alternative distributed hybrid infrastructure products to replace their current VMware-based deployments. This prediction comes from Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure, which highlights VMware's leadership in the field, along with other major players such as AWS, Nutanix, Microsoft, and Oracle.
However, Gartner also notes that the company has experienced an increased level of negative sentiment from customers, particularly regarding communication, commercial business practices, and delays in support. While VMware maintains its leadership position in hybrid cloud infrastructure, numerous virtualization contenders are attempting to attract VMware customers, but progress has been slow.
VMware's recent focus on refreshing its low-end vSphere Standard product may help retain more current users.
