    ROBO licenses are gone. We saw licensing costs for servers at those sites go up 5x.

    We have a few years left on our main clusters licensing, but we are already investigating moving off vmware because we expect more of the same.

    I may only use VMware workstation pro for desktop virtualization for lab use, and I do realize the ramifications for enterprise operations are exponentially greater. But even I am getting a worse service. I used to be able to google an issue, find a link to the VMware forum and just open that. Now *.vmware.com redirects to broadcom.com and searching for the post there seldom finds it again. Absolutely brilliant timing for google to kill cached pages.

    The broadcom takeover has fucked us all.
