The licensing model is an area for improvement. Recently, VMware shifted its licensing models, and they should streamline it. Now they have time-based and core-based licensing, which may or may not be relevant. While not a technical issue, obtaining VMware can be difficult.
In the last year, the main issue was pricing. With the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, there were delays and confusion in Brazil and some LATAM countries involving quoting and purchasing. Historically, these issues may have been related to the acquisition period.

People might be confused about where to purchase the product like vSphere. I don't even know who handles this. Broadcom hasn't advertised much since the merger. So, are the same vendors who used to work with VMware still handling purchases? No one really knows. The only obstacle is the purchase of the product. If you're trying to buy a product and you can't find vendors that provide support or product details, then who will help with the purchase? The only challenge was procurement. Other than that, everything has been smooth. No issues.

The area where VMware vSphere Foundation has room for improvement is in its licensing.
