A Decade of Growth: Salesforce vs. VMware

In the ever-evolving tech industry, Salesforce and VMware have been pivotal players. Over the past decade, Salesforce's gross profit has surged by over 740%, starting from 2014 with a modest $3.1 billion and reaching an impressive $26.3 billion by 2024. This growth underscores Salesforce's strategic expansion and innovation in cloud computing and customer relationship management.

Conversely, VMware, a leader in virtualization technology, has experienced a steady yet more modest growth of approximately 143% in gross profit, from $4.5 billion in 2014 to $10.9 billion in 2023. This reflects VMware's consistent performance and its focus on hybrid cloud solutions.
