Splunk has been around nearly 20 years. I’d hardly call them a high growth tech company.

Not all certainly but many enterprises use them and it feels like Splunk is printing money. The cost for log ingestion is high. But, it’s highly trusted and other Splunk killers like ELK stacks haven’t caught on everywhere.

Cisco saw enough value to buy it for $28 B as part of their security portfolio: https://strategyofsecurity.com/p/ciscos-cybersecurity-shoppi...

Right that’s my point. Licenses for log ingestion with Splunk are $$$$. As opposed to rolling your own (and probably not passing an audit)

What kind of audit one might not pass? People use all kind of log solution all the time without any problems.
