My experience is solely at work where we use Splunk Cloud and it's slow as molasses.

  Ours is self-hosted and is plenty fast. This might be something to bring up with the Splunk folks. Maybe their cloud side of things needs tuning.

  Same experience. Also splunk forwarders appear to be universally unreliable.

    we have extra monitoring for splunk forwarders, and even then we fail to notice them fail from time to time. Sigh.....

      Yes same here. I actually monitor the throughput of the network interfaces on our forwarder with prometheus/statsd_exporter and if outbound is smaller than inbound it sets off alerts!

  Does the speed matter? How exactly? I am genuinely curious: at Scalyr we _can_ be very fast but it is a balance with the cost that we want to pass on as price savings. Same with self-hosted Elastic: one can fine-tune it to be fast but minding the cost constraints gets it slower. WDYT?
