What I mean is that because Salesforce: 1/ hits their sales target 2/ grows reasonably fast 3/ is the leader in SaaS for many large investors (like vanguard) Salesforce has very high valuation, which allow them to acquire Company, raise money in very good conditions and keep growing. In Salesforce case, most of their products are very bad by Silicon Valley/standard standard, and yet, the Company is worth a lot of money.

As much as Salesforce is criticizing Oracle, Salesforce is behaving just like Oracle - with a cooler CEO (who is himself a former Oracle guy).
