Yes, 2-3X increase. Also, they will not offer a one-year deal like in the past. Three years only. Very frustrating to say the least.

IT Manager in Healthcare and Biotecha year ago

Yes, I've heard from multiple peers their prices increased dramatically, and they are exploring alternative solutions.  

IT Managera year ago

Yes, saw a 5x increase.

Ours was 3X the price we previously paid.  I told the Rep we were considering moving away from VMWare  and they gave me the 3 year pricing on a 1 year agreement to stay.  Keep in mind this is now subscription based and if you renew prior to your current agreement expiring it will take effect immediately, not when your current licenses expire.
