8 million is quite close to the low end of 8 digits. And at the high end of 8 digits, your assumption woud already mean they have only a few hundred customers in total, which is about as far from "realistic" as can be.

That tends to be good enough for a PL within a larger organization, which VMWare is now.

Zscaler uses the same strategy and PANW is transitioning to as well.
