Marc Benioff is keeping an eye on Palantir .
The co-founder and CEO of sales and customer service management software company Salesforce is well aware that investors are betting big on Palantir, which offers data management software to businesses and government agencies.
"Oh my gosh. I am so inspired by that company," Benioff told CNBC's Morgan Brennan in a Tuesday interview at Goldman Sachs ' Communacopia+Technology conference in San Francisco. "I mean, not just because they have 100 times, you know, multiple on their revenue, which I would love to have that too. Maybe it'll have 1000 times on their revenue soon."
Salesforce, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, remains 10 times larger than Palantir by revenue, with over $10 billion in revenue during the latest quarter. But Palantir is growing 48%, compared with 10% for Salesforce.
Benioff added that Palantir's prices are "the most expensive enterprise software I've ever seen."
"Maybe I'm not charging enough," he said.
