Industry Awards and Reviews

Splunk is on a roll. We are very proud of the many awards and accolades we’ve received for both our company performance and our disruptive technology. When we introduced Splunk in 2006, Gartner awarded us with a "Cool Vendor for IT Operations" designation. Last year we won the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Rising Star award as the fastest growing company in Silicon Valley based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2005–2007). In January 2009, TechTarget readers and staff awarded us with "Systems Management Product of the Year for 2008."

Over the past year we’ve also won Best of Interop, SC Magazine Award for best integrated security solution, ZDNet "10 Most Influential Biztech Products of 2008," Best of FOSE (Federal government product award) and several others. We’re also proud to have won a "Best Places to Work in the Bay Area" award this past year, again.
