I wonder if Splunk has a QA problem with their consultants or if there are certain edge cases they simply don't do well with.

Just that it looks like most people here had a good experience and we had a bad one for some reason.

Just coming back around to this, we also used Splunk consultants for their SIEM solution and the first one we got wasn't very good, but the second was amazing (I wish we could have hired her directly).

The guy we had help us tune our clusters after I rebuilt them all was also very good. Fortunately I'd done most everything by the books and we overkilled the nodes with hardware (we had some older hypervisor nodes lying around I stole for Splunk).
