VERDICT

Should I use VMware Blogs?

VMware Blogs — official blog of VMware by Broadcom - blogs.vmware.com

Skip. This is VMware's free corporate blog, not a purchasable product — there is nothing to buy, deploy, or license. Only one on-domain source was found, so confidence is low; if you need blogging software, look at actual blog platforms instead.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~50 public web sources; only one is directly on-domain (VMware's own site) — evidence thin.
