Our take
Splunk was founded to produce software for searching and analysing machine-generated data for clients. The platform provides live data insights and is an attractive option due to its flexibility, scalability and ability to process real time data.
The company has evolved significantly since being founded, implementing developments in augmented reality, machine learning and mobile technology. Further, the company's transition to the cloud has allowed it to provide new offerings, and proved its ability to move with market trends.
Acquired by Cisco in 2024, Splunk now benefits from Cisco's user protection, breach protection and threat intelligence capabilities. The company will continue to deliver its security products, and also has plans to enhance its portfolio moving forwards.
