Comments from Key Vendors on VARs

"In addition to our direct business model, we rely on a network of channel partners to sell our products and services, enabling us to efficiently serve a great number of customers"

Dell, which ran a direct-only distribution model until a decade ago before switching back to using VARs

"Partners are critical to developing solutions that meet customers industry specific needs, and Microsoft is committed to supporting them" Microsoft

"We rely primarily on indirect sales channels for the distribution of our solutions" Nutanix

"Our failure to maintain good relationships with channel partners would likely lead to a loss of end users" VMWare

"I think Broadcom's focus does not appear to be building long-term relationships, certainly with your typical mid-market reseller type organization. And so what may have previously been loyalty between that channel and Symantec, I think is certainly open. And those partners are showing a greater interest in and willingness to introduce those account over the Mimecast that previously, they may not have"

Mimecast, about Symantec being bought by Broadcom, which does not go through resellers, and about how they can get market share from the situation
