Broadcom接管VMware后，已停止永久许可证销售并转向高价订阅制定价模式1。这一转变对中小企业客户的成本造成了显著压力。
VMware Cloud Foundation（VCF）作为Broadcom接管后的重点产品，因被指包含过多不必要功能且定价过高而受到批评1。与此同时，多家中小企业客户报告称销售代表向他们声称vSphere Standard版本已不再可用1，但实际上该低价版本仍可获得。这些销售做法进一步加剧了客户对VMware信任度的下降。
Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, the company ended its permanent licensing model in favor of expensive subscription-based packages, leaving many small and medium-sized business customers unable to justify the costs 1. VMware's flagship private cloud product, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), has drawn criticism for being bloated with unnecessary features while commanding premium pricing 1. The transition has also raised concerns about sales practices, with multiple SMB clients reporting that sales representatives claimed vSphere Standard editions were no longer available—information customers later discovered was inaccurate 1.
The pricing shift and product bundling strategy have created a significant trust gap between VMware and its traditional customer base. With VCF positioned as Broadcom's primary focus following the acquisition, customers seeking more affordable or streamlined options have found themselves directed toward costlier solutions 1. The discrepancy between what sales teams communicated and the actual availability of lower-priced alternatives underscores the broader challenge VMware now faces in maintaining credibility with SMBs who feel the company has prioritized enterprise-level subscriptions over accessibility 1.
