What Our Clients Say
These are the Splunk ninjas you hear about, but without the hassle, formal project engagements, and bloated contracts.
They understood our needs, got the job done quickly, and even went above and beyond! Definitely using them again.
Really impressed with this team - they don't act like they are paid by the hour like many consultants. No wasted time, no long meetings, just amazing work.
They even saved us money on our license ingest which paid for their cost 10x at least.
They found issues like log delays, logs in the future, and issues that basically rendered our alerts UNUSABLE until they fixed them. They fix GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) and FAST - I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any Splunk issues or routine improvements.
