I can truly empathize. I’ve never wasted so much of my time on a vendor. It’s infuriating and certainly not worth the personal stress and agony. It shouldn’t be this hard!

I was part of Orchard and miss it dearly. It had a lot of potential but it was launched as a proof of concept built on pooled resources freed up from optimizing legacy workloads (namely, moving Siri from VMware to Mesos). It never got the l

Splunk worked with us to optimize our configs but we always managed it ourselves.

I totally understand that ripple effect and am very familiar with Most Favored X when it comes to unit pricing of a tangible good (e.g. xx,xxx physical servers with a particular SKU), but in this case we were talking about a SaaS product wh

Lol, this is exactly what I was referring to! We were negotiating a massive renewal (50x budget IN EARNEST!) and out of nowhere they threatened to cut us off with less than 24 hours notice because we were a week behind their schedule, despi

Absolutely agree. It’s tragic. Shoving SignalFx down our mouths and trying to get us to create “metric” indices was the straw that broke my back.

I personally brought Splunk to Apple in 2010 alongside a small handful of people (Hi, Sean and Ariel!). There is a massive difference between real-time searches where latency beyond a few seconds is unacceptable, and historical searches whi

Sounds crazy, but Datadog. I’ve been hammering their product teams for years with specific use cases for the sole purpose of replacing Splunk. They recently migrated search technologies and are rapidly closing the gap. Plus, their exclusion

It has always been the Cadillac of search, and moreso with unstructured indexing (e.g. key collisions with different data structures. Foo = string vs foo = integer vs foo = array). Your queries or infrastructure were not optimized. It’s ver

Splunk, as a company, is a shell of its former self. All they care about is pimping themselves out to maximize profits to an extreme that only Dilbert can relate to, even at the expense of destroying a long term professional relationship ov

Did you read the article? It begins with "Electronic health record giant Epic Systems..."

There is no mention of the type of fuel the cargo ship burned while outside of port (bunker fuel, anyone?). The three citations at the end of the article simply reference generic sites, not specific information.

I appreciate the gesture, but what's to keep them from moving their scraper to a third-party cloud provider, or sales folks using a VPN?

We implemented it for Siri in iOS 7. Exposed APIs for third party developers in iOS 11.

The secondary market for whiskey is quite real. The article is remarkably accurate on that accord, so it is very easy to believe the meat market is similar. With regard to booze: there is no way to truly verify or authenticate until you dri

Regarding [1], the move to Mesos was not a rewrite. Some core components had to be improved, but [2] was primarily an infrastructure upgrade that happened to make Siri considerably faster by ditching hypervisors. It was a massive feat that
