Lol, I could have written exactly the same comments you did about Splunk. I'm the one who decided to start using splunk for our company 8 years ago, we're working on migrating away and I will never under any circumstances consider recommending splunk for any future companies I work for.

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!

Can echo the licensing sentiments across 2 companies now. It's a shame because I grew to really like SPL and how Splunk handled web based distributed search. What are you moving towards now, if I may ask?
