100$-200$ per VM is a fair price I think. Most of the revenue generating on-prem orgs can afford it. If you think it is expensive then you are not the target segment for VMware.
- orev 2y agoThe fallacy here is that you’re ignoring the pipeline. The next generation of infrastructure admins are either running on all cloud, or running on something they can easily access like any KVM based system (like proxmox). VMware is instantly a legacy system because anyone who doesn’t already run it isn’t going to bother learning it. Revenue generating or not, the free platforms are will generate more revenue than VMware at such and exorbitant cost.
- zamadatix 2y ago"Can afford" and "expensive" are distractions - orgs don't buy things just because they have the money to so they find the most expensive option to burn it on. The product has to justify the cost vs other options, not just be feasible to purchase.
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoIt’s this. We can afford it all day every day. We choose not to because I’d rather spend the money towards products and services we like. I already do not like VMWare under Broadcom. Maybe it wasn’t clear, but I do not expect our bill to remain at $3600, but I don’t care because this won’t be an issue for us.
