Interesting year so far for PE M&A in SaaS companies Vista - Cvent $1.65B Vista - Marketo $1.80B Vista - Ping $600M Apollo - Rackspace $4.3B (moreso IaaS) Thoma Bravo - Qlik $3.0B (debatable SaaS)

Thoma Bravo has then * Qlik (BI) * Riverbed (APM, app & network analytics) * Dynatrace (APM, app & network analytics) * Compuware (mainframe maintenance, Dynatrace was a business unit of Compuware) https://thomabravo.com/portfolio/all/current/ https://thomabravo.com/portfolio/all/current/ What does Thoma Bravo do with two old-school APM companies that barely provide a modern cloud service, a BI that barely provide a cloud service and a stone age relict? Will the merge the company assets and lay-off some "fat"? Or wait until IBM or Microsoft wants to buy one of their companies?
