Weak roadmap, tricky migration path, and Broadcom dependencies add up to uncertainty
Analyst firm Gartner has advised customers of Omnissa – the company spun out from VMware's end-user compute business – that they need to take stock because the new org isn't yet able to offer a strong roadmap.
That advice landed last Friday in a document titled"The Future of VMware's EUC Products." The authors, a quartet of Gartner analysts, recommend that users of the Workspace ONE application publication and device management platform, and the Horizon desktop virtualization range, need to conduct a risk assessment and create contingency plans.
The firm isn't pessimistic about Omnissa's prospects. Indeed, the advice notes that Omnissa's owner – private equity outfit KKR – has declared an intention to expand research and development, and to pursue new strategic partnerships. KKR also has form investing in and expanding comparable products offered by Parallels .But Gartner isn't impressed by what Omnissa has so far said about its plans. In particular, an ambition to create.
Gartner expects the financial business case for an alternative desktop virtualization solution to be difficult to prove and the technical case for transition to be weak, while risks may be high.
