Improved multi-cloud data management has simplified operations and supports seamless Kubernetes

From my perspective, the biggest challenge with VMware right now is the pricing. To be very honest, in many cases I find myself recommending alternative solutions instead of VMware. Even if those alternatives come with a bit more complexity, customers are often more willing to accept that than the current VMware pricing model. In the past, VMware used a socket-based licensing model, which was easier for customers to understand and budget for. Now the shift to a core-based licensing model has significantly increased costs for many environments, especially for organizations running modern high-core CPUs. One positive aspect of the new model is that VMware has bundled several components together. For example, earlier when deploying vSphere, customers also had to purchase vCenter separately for management. Now multiple components are packaged into a single SKU, which simplifies some aspects of procurement and deployment. While this consolidation has its benefits, the overall licensing and commercial costs remain very high. Pricing is not the only issue. I believe Broadcom also needs to reconsider its strategy in light of the current market conditions. The approach they are taking may be strategic from a business perspective, but from what I see in the field, it is leading to lost opportunities. Many customers who previously relied on VMware are now actively exploring alternative virtualization platforms. I’m not sure where this direction will ultimately lead, but based on my experience, it is already affecting adoption. Since you’ve been trying to reach me for some time—and we also had a discussion a couple of years ago—I hope this feedback helps Broadcom understand the current sentiment in the market and potentially make adjustments. Another important concern is the way features are bundled. In many cases, customers only need basic virtualization and high availability capabilities. However, the current packaging often includes additional features that they may not need. A good analogy is that if a customer only needs an entry-level car, we shouldn’t be forced to sell them a Rolls-Royce. VMware could benefit from adopting a more modular or à la carte licensing model, where customers can choose only the components they truly require. For example, if a customer only needs core virtualization functionality, they should be able to purchase just that. This would allow partners and solution providers to better align solutions with customer requirements and position VMware more competitively in the market. Another challenge I want to highlight is the pricing model based on U.S. dollars and the way multi-year licensing is handled. In many enterprise and government projects, customers prefer to commit to three-year or five-year licenses and pay the full amount upfront. However, in approximately 20% of the deals I work on, we lose opportunities because VMware only provides dollar-based pricing for the first year. When it comes to the following years, the contract requires renewals annually rather than allowing a fixed multi-year upfront payment. This approach is particularly problematic for government and public sector customers. Many of them are ready and willing to pay for three or five years in advance, but the current VMware model does not support that structure effectively. Because pricing is tied to the U.S. dollar and subject to yearly adjustments, VMware does not lock in pricing for the full term. From a customer’s perspective, this introduces uncertainty and makes procurement more complicated. Ideally, if a price is quoted—for example, $100 per year—it should remain consistent across a multi-year agreement. Customers would be comfortable committing to a five-year term if the price were fixed and predictable. Unfortunately, that flexibility is currently not available across VMware products, whether it is vSphere, VMware Tanzu solutions, or other offerings. For large enterprise environments, one-year commitments are usually not practical. Many enterprise customers prefer longer-term agreements for budgeting and procurement reasons. Even when they are willing to accept the higher cost associated with the core-based licensing model, the lack of a clear multi-year upfront option often becomes a deal-breaker.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people."

"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."

"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."

"I like the fact that the solution is self-patching, that it's running machine-learning generally across its logs all the time in order to identify any issues and to self-repair."

"The performance and scalability are awesome."

"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."

"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse pros

"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."

"Being MPP which is a bulk operator - we were able to do 1.5 million calculation in 15 minutes."

"This has helped us bring down our end-to-end EDW load time to one-third the time and has enabled faster and efficient data analysis in a scalable environment without adding too much cost."

"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."

"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."

"I prefer an open-source solution but Pivotal Greenplum is cheap and has many functionalities."

"VMware Tanzu Data Solutions has positively impacted my organization by improving workflow, optimizing costs, and facilitating quick learning, making my team happy about this solution."

"The biggest advantage of VMware Tanzu Data Solutions is that it automates the entire life cycle of enterprise data services on Kubernetes, making databases highly available, scalable, secure, and much easier to operate."

Cons

"The setup is complex."

"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."

"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."

"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."

"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."

"Ease of connectivity could be improved."

"The solution lacks visibility options."

"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse cons

"Customer Service: It's very poor. Technical Support: It's very poor."

"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."

"The availability could be better."

"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."

"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."

"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

"The High Availability feature is not really reliable."

"ORCA optimizer when turned on is not showing consistency. Some workloads shows improved performance and some workloads became very slow."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."

"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."

"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."

"The solution is expensive."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"It is an open-source product."

"The pricing is okay."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
