  "account": "Gartner predicts that over half of VMware users will start evaluating alternative hybrid cloud platforms by 2029, according to the analyst firm's latest Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure (DHI). The report notes that Broadcom's business unit remains a leader in two major markets, with VMware being rated as a leader in the DHI field alongside AWS, Nutanix, Microsoft, and Oracle. However, Gartner has also highlighted growing customer dissatisfaction with VMware, particularly regarding communication, commercial business practices, and delays in support.",
