Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Overview and Basis of Presentation Company and Background Pivotal Software, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Pivotal,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”) provide a leading cloud-native application platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry (“PCF”), and differentiated services, Pivotal Labs (“Labs”). Our leading software platform and differentiated services enable enterprises to adopt modern software and development methodologies that transform their products and the economics of their business. We help make software development and operations a strategic advantage for our customers to revolutionize the experiences they offer their own customers, drive new sources of revenue and improve the speed and cost of business operations. We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 1, 2013. Reverse Stock Split In April 2018, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation effecting a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock. The reverse split was effected on April 6, 2018. The par values of the common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding share and per share amounts included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. Fiscal Years Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. Our 2019 fiscal year (“fiscal 2019”) ended on February 1, 2019 and our 2020 fiscal year (“fiscal 2020”) will end on January 31, 2020 . Initial Public Offering On April 19, 2018, we commenced an initial public offering (“IPO”), which closed on April 24, 2018. As part of the IPO, we issued and sold 38,667,000 shares of Class A common stock, which included 5,550,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $548.1 million from the IPO, after underwriters’ discounts and commissions and before deducting offering costs of approximately $3.7 million . Prior to the completion of the IPO, all shares of Series A and C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding were converted into 110,466,653 shares of Class B common stock on a one -to-one basis and all shares of Series B and C redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding were converted into 37,412,396 shares of Class A common stock on a one -to-one basis. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Pivotal Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2019 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of our management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of Pivotal’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year 2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019. Our majority-controlling stockholder is Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell”). VMware, Inc. (“VMware”), which is also a majority-owned subsidiary of Dell, and Dell are collectively referred to as the “Parent” in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. Our results of operations and financial position are consolidated with Dell’s financial statements. Our financial information includes estimates and allocations of certain corporate functions provided to us by Dell.

Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations, financial position, cash flows or costs and expenses would have been, or will be in future periods, had we transacted with a third party during the periods presented. Proposed Merger with VMware On August 22, 2019, Pivotal entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with VMware and Raven Transaction Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of VMware (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to certain terms and conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into Pivotal (the “Merger”), with Pivotal surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of VMware. Pivotal and VMware are both majority-owned subsidiaries of Dell. Based on the amount of outstanding capital stock reported in this report on Form 10-Q, VMware owns approximately 15.7% of Pivotal’s outstanding common stock, consisting entirely of shares of Pivotal’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 . Dell indirectly through VMware and through EMC Equity Assets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EMC”), beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the Class B common stock, representing approximately 62.4% of Pivotal’s outstanding common stock. The terms of the Merger Agreement provide that, unless otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Pivotal’s Class A common stock will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $15.00 in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax. The terms of the Merger Agreement also provide that, unless otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.0550 of a share of Class B common stock of VMware. The Merger and the Merger Agreement have been approved by the boards of directors of each of VMware (acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board of directors of VMware, consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors, authorized to, among other things, negotiate, evaluate and approve or disapprove potential transactions with Pivotal) and Pivotal (acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board of directors of Pivotal (the “Pivotal Special Committee”), consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors authorized to, among other things, negotiate, evaluate and approve or disapprove a potential transaction with VMware). Completion of the transaction is conditioned on the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of (i) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock not owned by VMware or any of its affiliates (including Dell and EMC), (ii) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock, (iii) at least a majority of outstanding shares of the Class B common stock, and (iv) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, which condition is not subject to waiver by Pivotal or VMware. Completion of the transaction is also subject to other customary closing conditions including (i) the absence of any order, judgment or decree by any governmental entity that prohibits or makes the consummation of the transaction illegal, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties and (iii) compliance in all material respects by each party with its obligations under the Merger Agreement. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of both Pivotal and VMware. Pivotal has also agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of Pivotal and its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the Merger, including covenants not to, during the pendency of the Merger, solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, an alternative transaction. The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for Pivotal and VMware, including a right for either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not completed by February 18, 2020, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Pivotal will be obligated to pay VMware a termination fee of $95.0 million . Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) entered into a voting agreement pursuant to which Ford has agreed, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to vote its shares of the Class A common stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. Until the closing, Pivotal will continue to operate as an independent company. Pivotal’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A and amended Schedule 13E-3 were filed with the SEC on November 27, 2019. Pivotal has set the close of business on November 4, 2019 as the record date for the special meeting of stockholders scheduled for December 27, 2019, at which stockholders will vote on, among other things, a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. A description of the material terms of the Merger Agreement can be found in Pivotal’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2019 and Pivotal’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, including the determination of the standalone selling price of performance obligations, the amortization period of deferred commissions, income taxes and the related valuation allowance and the valuation of common stock options. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivable, fixed assets, deferred sales commissions, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, including the impact of contingencies and operating lease liabilities, all of which also impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant Accounting Policies Notwithstanding the addition of the policy below for leases, there were no significant changes to our accounting policies disclosed in “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2019 . Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Our operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our operating leases, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all of our operating leases. Our operating leases are included in operating ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Variable lease payments, which do not vary based on an index or rate, are excluded from our ROU asset and lease liability determination. Our variable lease payments are typically usage-based and we record them in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement Leases —In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize most lease liabilities on their balance sheets but recognize the lease expense on their statements of operations in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning with our fiscal 2020. We have adopted this standard on the first day of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 , using a modified retrospective transition method. We elected the transition method discussed in ASU 2018-11 and our reporting for the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption continue to be in accordance with “Leases (Topic 840),” including the associated disclosure requirements. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which, among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The adoption of this standard effective the beginning of our new fiscal year, resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $136.4 million and $149.1 million , respectively, as of February 2, 2019. The difference between the amounts, represented the deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets. The adoption of the standard on February 2, 2019 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows. New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted Financial Instruments—Credit Losses— In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an expected loss model in place of the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This update to the standard is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning February 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the ASU 2018-15 prospectively or retrospectively. This standard is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning February 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Sales Commissions	Deferred Sales Commissions Deferred sales commissions, current and noncurrent, were $70.3 million and $75.1 million as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , respectively. Amortization expense for deferred commissions costs was $13.6 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, and was $40.2 million and $36.9 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. We amortize the commissions related to sales to new subscription customers, or the expansion of existing subscription customers, over an estimated period of benefit which has been determined to be the expected customer life. We amortize the commissions related to renewals of existing subscription customer contracts over the term of the contracts. Commissions paid for services contracts are amortized over the expected service delivery periods of the services. There were no impairment losses recorded related to the commissions costs capitalized for the periods presented.

Leases	Leases We lease certain office spaces which we have classified as operating leases. Most of our leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options are at our sole discretion and we included all renewals that are reasonably certain at the reporting period end date in the calculation of our ROU assets and liabilities. Certain of our sublease arrangements include an option to early terminate the lease arrangement. We do not disclose sublease income for periods for which a termination option exists, unless we are reasonably certain it will not be exercised.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities	Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Our estimate of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities is based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. Management determines fair value using the following hierarchy: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Our cash and cash equivalents of $821.9 million and $701.7 million as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , respectively, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Our cash equivalents include money market funds of $751.6 million and $614.2 million as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , respectively.

Debt	Debt On October 22, 2019, we terminated our credit agreement and related security agreement. As part of the termination, we accelerated the associated unamortized debt costs, which resulted in $0.3 million of expense in the period. Prior to that date, we maintained a credit agreement and related security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and certain other banks. The senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100.0 million , was first entered into on September 8, 2017 and amended on May 6, 2019. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility were secured by our tangible assets. During the three months ended May 4, 2018, we borrowed $15.0 million under the Revolving Facility, which was in addition to the $20.0 million that was already outstanding as of February 2, 2018 , and then repaid the total outstanding balance of $35.0 million on the Revolving Facility in April 2018. During the period from April 2018 to November 2, 2018 , we did no t draw down on the Revolving Facility and no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Facility. During the nine months ended November 1, 2019, we did no t draw down on the Revolving Facility.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Unearned Revenue and Performance Obligations	Unearned Revenue and Performance Obligations Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are recognized as revenue over the contractual period. During the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 we recognized revenue of $124.0 million and $103.6 million , respectively, and during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 we recognized revenue of $319.0 million and $249.3 million , respectively, which was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the reporting periods presented. We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We generally bill our customers annually in advance, although for our multi-year contracts, some customers prefer to pay the full multi-year contract amount in advance. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 to 90 days . Contract assets include amounts related to our contractual right to consideration for both completed and partially completed performance obligations that may not have been invoiced; such amounts have been insignificant to date. Remaining Performance Obligations The typical contract term for subscription contracts is one to three years , while the contract term for professional services is generally less than one year . Our subscription contracts are non-cancelable over the contractual term. As of November 1, 2019 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to billed and unbilled remaining performance obligations for subscriptions and services for which revenue has not yet been recognized was approximately $820 million . We expect to recognize approximately 60% of the transaction price as subscription or services revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. As of February 1, 2019 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to billed and unbilled remaining performance obligations for subscriptions and services for which revenue had not yet been recognized was approximately $990 million .

Income Taxes	Income Taxes As a result of the IPO, we are no longer included in the Dell U.S. federal tax return. Our federal deferred tax assets and liabilities previously calculated on a separate return basis have been adjusted to reflect only the actual carryforward items which Pivotal has on its separate federal tax return. We continue to present on a separate return basis the deferred tax assets and liabilities for those states where we file unitary returns with Dell. A full valuation allowance was recorded against U.S. federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets because we determined that it was more likely than not that those deferred tax assets would not be realized. As of November 1, 2019 , we have a net deferred tax asset of $0.3 million . The income tax provision was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. The income tax provision was $1.4 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. Our quarterly provision is primarily related to foreign taxes due in profitable jurisdictions. In April 2019, we amended our Tax Sharing Agreement (“TSA”) with Dell with regard to the treatment of certain 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act implications not explicitly covered by the original terms of the TSA. As a result of the amendment, Pivotal received a one-time payment of $26.5 million on August 29, 2019 from Dell for the current benefit and estimated future expense related to Pivotal’s foreign deficits included in the transition tax determination in the Dell Fiscal 2018 federal tax return.

Common Stock and Stock-Based Awards	C ommon Stock and Stock-Based Awards As of November 1, 2019 , we had 4,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock authorized, of which 105,538,158 shares were issued and outstanding, and 500,000,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized, of which 175,514,272 shares were issued and outstanding. Both Class A common stock and Class B common stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. As of November 1, 2019 , we had reserved 19,692,191 shares of common stock available for future equity award grants under our equity incentive plans. We also had reserved 49,282,849 shares of common stock for future issuance upon exercise of any outstanding stock options and upon vesting of restricted stock units. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Stock Options Stock options generally vest over 48 months as follows: (i) 25% vest 12 months from the date of grant, and (ii) the remaining 75% vest on a monthly basis over the remaining term. The fair value of each stock option granted during fiscal 2020 has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table reflects our stock option activity during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 (in thousands, except weighted-average exercise price): Number of Shares Subject to Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Options outstanding at February 1, 2019 45,901 $ 8.31 Granted — $ — Exercised (11,250 ) $ 7.53 Forfeited (2,018 ) $ 10.13 Expired / cancelled (90 ) $ 9.76 Options outstanding at November 1, 2019 32,543 $ 8.47 As of November 1, 2019 , there was $34.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested options, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options. Restricted Stock Units The Company granted 11.9 million and 9.3 million Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) with an aggregate fair value of $199.8 million and $145.7 million during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. RSUs awarded under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan will generally vest over four years . The vesting is contingent on the employees’ continued service through such date. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the vesting date. We expense the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs on the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. The following table reflects our RSU activity during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 (in thousands, except weighted-average grant fair value): Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted-Average Grant Fair Value RSUs outstanding at February 1, 2019 9,501 $ 15.77 Granted 11,923 $ 16.76 Vested (3,186 ) $ 15.51 Forfeited (1,428 ) $ 16.80 RSUs outstanding at November 1, 2019 16,810 $ 16.43 For the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs was $19.6 million and $48.8 million , respectively. For three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs was $8.9 million and $18.7 million , respectively. As of November 1, 2019 , there was $247.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective upon our IPO. The ESPP currently reserves and authorizes the issuance of up to a total of 6,003,420 shares of Class A common stock to participating employees. Eligible employees may elect to participate in the ESPP, upon which the employee authorizes payroll deductions during the offering period in an amount equal to at least 1% of his or her compensation, but not more than the contribution limit. The contribution limit for each offering period is the lesser of (i) 15% of an eligible employee’s compensation for the offering period or (ii) $7,500 . Except for the initial offering period, the ESPP provides for 6 -month offering periods commencing on January 11 or July 11 and ending on July 10 or January 10 of each year. The current offering period under the ESPP commenced on July 11, 2019 and will end on January 10, 2020. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of our stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of our stock on the purchase date. As of November 1, 2019 , there were 4,291,613 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance under the ESPP. For the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP was $1.0 million and $3.8 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP was $0.8 million and $2.0 million , respectively. As of November 1, 2019 , there was $1.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the offering period.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss per Share	Net Loss per Share Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for each of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 1, November 2, November 1, November 2, Numerator: Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (33,103 ) $ (34,850 ) $ (92,955 ) $ (102,972 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares used in computing net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted 277,567 258,408 272,935 207,072 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted $ (0.12 ) $ (0.13 ) $ (0.34 ) $ (0.50 ) Since we were in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive were as follows (in thousands): November 1, November 2, Shares subject to outstanding common stock options 32,543 48,966 Unvested RSUs outstanding 16,810 9,120 Shares committed under the ESPP 1,090 752 Total 50,443 58,838

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Dell and VMware Agency Arrangements Since our formation, we have entered into agency arrangements with Dell and VMware that enable our sales team to sell our subscriptions and services leveraging the Dell and VMware enterprise relationships and end customer contracts. These transactions result in Dell or VMware invoicing customers and collecting on our behalf. In exchange, we pay an agency fee, which is based on a percentage of the invoiced contract amounts, for their services. Such percentage ranged from 1.5% to 5.0% for both the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. In aggregate, we paid Dell and VMware $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, and $5.0 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, which was deferred and amortized to sales and marketing expense over the term of the underlying customer arrangements. Sales of our Products and Services to Dell and VMware From time to time, we have sold our software products and professional, software support and other services to Dell and VMware for their internal use. Revenue recognized for sales of our products and services to Dell was $4.8 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, and $17.1 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. Revenue recognized for sales of our products and services to VMware was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. Dell and VMware Transition Services and Employee Matters Agreements We engage Dell in several ongoing related party transactions which result in costs charged to us. Dell acts as a paying agent for certain international payroll, accounts payable and other expenses. Pursuant to ongoing shared services and employee matters agreements, we are charged by Dell for certain administrative services, including certain financial services as well as support services where Pivotal does not have a legal entity, based upon estimates and allocations. Additionally, in certain geographic regions where we do not have an established legal entity, we contract with Dell subsidiaries for support services. We are charged for overhead items such as facilities and IT systems for our employees that work from Dell office locations. The costs incurred by Dell on our behalf related to these employees are charged to us with a markup. These costs are included as expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and primarily include salaries, benefits, travel and facility costs. These expenses are charged to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder charged primarily on the basis of headcount or other measures. Management believes the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. Charges received from Dell for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 were $11.5 million and $5.3 million , respectively, and were $27.0 million and $21.5 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. Dell Tax Sharing Agreement Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement Pivotal has historically received payments from Dell for the tax benefits derived from the inclusion of our losses in certain Dell U.S. federal and state group returns. As of a result of stock issued during our IPO, Pivotal no longer qualifies for inclusion in the Dell U.S. federal consolidated tax return. This reduces the amount of benefit or expense we receive from the tax sharing agreement in prospective periods to the benefit or expense that Dell realizes from our inclusion in their unitary state returns. In April 2019, we amended our TSA with Dell with regard to the treatment of certain 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act implications not explicitly covered by the original terms of the TSA. The amendment provided that we would receive a one-time payment of $26.5 million from Dell for the current benefit and estimated future expense related to Pivotal’s foreign deficits included in the transition tax determination in the Dell fiscal 2018 federal tax return. Dell’s payment to Pivotal was received in August 2019. As of November 1, 2019 , the net payable related to the TSA with Dell was $1.8 million . The balance is comprised primarily of a return-to-provision update of $2.6 million related to the finalization of our fiscal 2019 federal taxable income, partially offset by a provision for state receivables which are not yet final. Other Related Party Transactions Through September 6, 2018, certain of our directors were also executives of companies that are our customers. Subsequent to this date, only the director from Ford remains an executive of a company that is our customer. Revenue recognized from sales of subscriptions and services to Ford was $2.0 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively, and $5.5 million and $9.4 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2019 and November 2, 2018 , respectively. We had outstanding accounts receivable balances from Ford of $11.5 million and $1.8 million as of November 1, 2019 and February 1, 2019 , respectively. Revenue recognized from sales of subscriptions and services to General Electric (“GE”) was $0.9 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2018 , respectively. As GE is no longer a related party, no disclosures for fiscal 2020 have been provided. Proposed Merger with VMware On August 22, 2019, Pivotal entered into the Merger Agreement with VMware and Merger Sub. Refer to “ Note 1 --- Overview and Basis of Presentation” for details of the Merger Agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Between June 14, 2019 and June 27, 2019, six complaints were filed against us in state and federal court in San Francisco alleging violations of securities laws in connection with disclosures made in connection with our IPO and thereafter. The plaintiffs in those cases are seeking to have the cases certified as class actions, and also seek damages and legal fees. At this time, it is not reasonably possible to determine the ultimate resolution of, or estimate the liability related to, these matters. As of the filing of this report, Pivotal is aware of six complaints related to the Merger Agreement having been filed: Briant v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 1:19-cv-09479 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 14, 2019); Plumley v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 1:19-cv-01974 (D. Del. Oct. 17, 2019); Shan v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 3:19-cv-06814 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 21, 2019); Silverberg v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 3:19-cv-06977 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 24, 2019); Rothman v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 3:19-cv-07066 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 28, 2019); and Parada v. Pivotal Software, Inc. , No. 1:19-cv-06306 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 7, 2019). The complaints are brought by putative stockholders against Pivotal and members of our board of directors and the Pivotal Special Committee. The Shan complaint also names VMware and Merger Sub as defendants. Among other things, the complaints allege that the disclosures in our proxy statement filings violate the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, the Shan complaint alleges that members of our board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the board of director’s approval of the Merger Agreement. The plaintiffs in these cases seek various forms of relief, including unspecified monetary damages, legal fees, and injunctive relief enjoining consummation of the Merger. The plaintiffs in all actions other than Briant and Parada seek to have their cases certified as class actions. The defendants, including Pivotal and the members of the Pivotal Special Committee and our board of directors, believe that the claims asserted in these lawsuits are without merit. Nevertheless, the outcomes of these lawsuits are uncertain and cannot be predicted with any certainty. Stockholders have delivered two demand letters to our board of directors under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law for various books and records related to the Merger Agreement. We are committed to cooperating with our stockholders in responding to reasonable records requests that comply with applicable law. In addition, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the resolution of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is not resolved in a manner that is adverse to our interests, such litigation can have a negative impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from our business and other factors. Warranties and Indemnification Our software is generally warranted to perform substantially in accordance with the subscription agreement. Our contracts generally include provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our services infringe or misappropriate a third party’s intellectual property rights. Costs and liabilities incurred as a result of warranties and indemnification obligations were not material during the periods presented and no liability has been recognized relating to these obligations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation	Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Accounting Estimates	Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, estimates are used when accounting for revenue arrangements, including the determination of the standalone selling price of performance obligations, the amortization period of deferred commissions, income taxes and the related valuation allowance and the valuation of common stock options. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivable, fixed assets, deferred sales commissions, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, including the impact of contingencies and operating lease liabilities, all of which also impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Leases	Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Our operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our operating leases, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all of our operating leases. Our operating leases are included in operating ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Variable lease payments, which do not vary based on an index or rate, are excluded from our ROU asset and lease liability determination. Our variable lease payments are typically usage-based and we record them in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement Leases —In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize most lease liabilities on their balance sheets but recognize the lease expense on their statements of operations in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning with our fiscal 2020. We have adopted this standard on the first day of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 , using a modified retrospective transition method. We elected the transition method discussed in ASU 2018-11 and our reporting for the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption continue to be in accordance with “Leases (Topic 840),” including the associated disclosure requirements. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which, among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The adoption of this standard effective the beginning of our new fiscal year, resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $136.4 million and $149.1 million , respectively, as of February 2, 2019. The difference between the amounts, represented the deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets. The adoption of the standard on February 2, 2019 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows. New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted Financial Instruments—Credit Losses— In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an expected loss model in place of the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This update to the standard is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning February 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software— In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the ASU 2018-15 prospectively or retrospectively. This standard is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning February 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
