I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get Splunk into various $work
environments for the past ~10 years or so with no success. To date,
although I think Splunk is excellent, I have been unable to convert my
belief into compelling reasons for management to approve expenditures.

@ current $job, part of that reticence is directly related to the licensing
costs. We log millions of events hourly and the ballpark figures I've been
given by sales reps are higher than senior management will approve since we
already have a SIEM in place. To date, I haven't been successful in taking
the eval version and utilizing it to provide a viable proof of concept.

Dear Splunk, I wuvs you, but have not yet been able to demonstrate to the
bean counters how much you rock.

Rgds,

M
