What you will take away
  • How the VMware/Broadcom playbook — bundle, simplify the SKU list, focus on the largest accounts — now applies to Carbon Black and Symantec.
  • Why subscription-only, bundled security suites replace the à la carte endpoint SKUs many buyers relied on.
  • Where the renewal uplift concentrates, and why mid-market accounts feel it most.
  • How Carbon Black (CWP/endpoint) and Symantec Enterprise Cloud licensing actually meter — endpoints, users, and entitlements.
  • How to build a credible alternative and negotiate, or migrate, from a position of leverage.
