Qlik was sold to Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm, about two years ago for $3B.
Not sure if that's a relative bargain compared to this deal or if it makes the $15.7B look totally unrealistic. As of a few years ago the total revenue of the two firms wasn't that different.

- chrisjc 7y agoHaven't heard much about Qlik lately. A few years ago we were evaluating Birst and Qlik, and have since settled on Looker and Tableau. Birst end up getting acquired too. https://www.infor.com/news/infor-to-acquire-birst-infor https://www.infor.com/news/infor-to-acquire-birst-infor
