For a window into the AVGO future, simply look back to its previous two major acquisitions, CA and Symantec. Read this candid assessment from Forrester analysts.

Clickbait FUD.
interesting that Forrester had a whole team of analysts on this post. they must be talking to a bunch of our customers to come out with such a strong position on the deal outcome
comparison of the text in the Symantec and VMware slides demonstrates their total lack of creativity
Or perhaps you give too much importance to slides.
Welcome to the new world, 20 people spending their time on font choices is not a priority.
“I would say nutanix sales lines were off the hook constantly yesterday.”
From the channel side, I will say Nutanix and Scale Computing interest and engagements have been markedly brisk the last quarter. From what I understand VMware is effectively now only doing one year renewals, so customers are braced for price increases (again) and actively exploring alternatives.
LOL, the comparison of the text in the Symantec and VMware slides demonstrates their total lack of creativity. Or, perhaps the PR team is simply uninspired by the leadership.
I would say nutanix sales lines were off the hook constantly yesterday. Everyone and their mother knows what hock does to acquisitions and their support structure. A lot of them already experienced the Symantec acquisition and left which is why it is non existent today. Must be terrible having hocks cognitive dissonance.
