Yeah. SignalFX is great! I'm happy for them. But also, dammit. Splunk will destroy it.

- occamsrazorwit 7y agoWhy do you think Splunk will kill it?
- cwp 7y agoCause that's how acquisitions always work out. It might not be as obvious as "We are shutting down SignalFX." But they'll want to turn it into a feature of another product which is aimed at a different market, or move it to Splunk's infrastructure, which was designed for something else. Or maybe it's about adopting a common UX, which ends up being worse than what SignalFX has now. Think of Microsoft buying Skype. It's still around, but it's not good anymore.
