Yeah I don't get it either. Splunk is still losing money after many years. Their model seems to be "spend $2 to make $1". Compared with how arrogant the sales people are - one told me they really just don't care as there's so much demand for the product - something doesn't make sense. It was cool software, a bit slow (this was several years back). But with things like Elasticsearch catching up release over release (even if you don't use it directly, other platforms will build on it), Splunk is no longer the totally unique thing they used to be. I can't figure out their $8bn+ market cap with revenue under 500M and costs increasing as they grow.
