I haven't seen any compainies using vmware for a long time. All I see everywhere is citrix.

LMFAO. You see those cost estimates? These people are fucking morons. No, it would not cost that much unless you are hiring idiots or pajeets.
I migrated a company off of VMWare over a decade ago because of a predatory license change and never looked back. The longest part of it was waiting for the new hardware we bought in a hardware refresh at the same time (good timing).
This is just a vendor trying to scare you into lock-in saying "it will be too hard for you to migrate!". Yeah, if that is the case then you need to migrate anyway. Its like someone saying they are "not replicable" in a company. You want to replace that person ASAP.

From the post:
>If the changes Broadcom brought to VMware have you thinking of a move to an alternative virtualization platform, expect a long, costly, and risky project – and perhaps a longer, costlier, and riskier one if you put off pondering the move. That’s the thrust of a new assessment titled “Estimating a Large-Scale VMware Migration” from by analyst firm Gartner, and the opinion of one of its authors – VP Analyst Michael Warrilow. The assessment modelled the cost of migrating off VMware for an org that runs 2,000 or more VMs and at least 100 servers to host them and found projects will take 18 to 48 months. Each virtual machine will cost between $300 and $3,000 to migrate, if you engage external service providers.
