- The data tools market is seeing a lot of consolidation lately, with companies merging or getting acquired. This means there are fewer companies competing, but it can lead to better tools overall.
- Acquisitions can be a mixed bag for customers. While some products improve after being bought, others might lose their features or support, making it risky for users.
- There's a push for bundled data solutions where customers want fewer, but more comprehensive tools. This could change how data companies operate and how startups survive in the future.
