None of them like to have to use each others products. I posted that before about Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft and Salesforce in an old FAQ.
Mulesoft is a good example when Salesforce bought them for $6.5B. It means the other big dogs start buying the next in line. Time to make an offer is in the $500K-$5B range. Would be stupid to wait beyond that in my opinion. Many offers don't get accepted.
