How to Choose the Right VMware Replacement
19 Alternatives, 425+ Features Compared
Roughly 30 solutions claim to replace VMware. DCIG tested 19 of them, evaluating each across more than 425 features to determine which actually deliver. The result is one of the most comprehensive assessments of VMware alternatives available today.
Join DCIG CEO and Principal Analyst Jerome Wendt as he walks through the evaluation framework, reveals which capabilities separated the TOP 5 from the rest, and shares practical guidance for IT leaders navigating this decision. VergeIO's George Crump and Aaron Richman will then show how VergeOS addresses the criteria that matter most, including migration tooling, licensing, and infrastructure consolidation.
