I've been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about VMware. The cutting of services and licensing changes of the cost of core offerings are huge issues. Is anyone planning or budgeting to change to another hypervisor? If so what?

When Broadcom acquired Symantec our pricing and customer service for SEPM went to shit. I'd be looking to switch if I was on VMWare. If it's a small deployment, probably to native hyper-V and windows. Larger deployment, I'd be looking to change careers

Like 30 servers and 150ish VMs. Not a huge deployment.
