Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora argues that the era of “analytical SaaS” is ending.
His point: if a company mainly collects data and analyzes it for you, an LLM can increasingly do that directly against the data. He extends the argument to marketplace add-ons and other incremental software modules, saying customers may no longer need to buy separate analytics layers when model-based analysis can replace them.
