Digital Resilience Pays Off

They say, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” but I wanted to highlight the role our customers played at last month’s .conf22, our annual users’ event at the MGM Grand. It was awesome meeting customers in person again, and connecting virtually with thousands more. We had a terrific turnout with 8,200+ customers and partners representing 113 countries and more than 6,500 organizations.
Of course, the marquee moment for Splunk was announcing the general availability of Splunk Enterprise 9.0 – our most significant release in three years – and enhancements to our Splunk Cloud Platform. Tied to this were over 40 major features and updates and hundreds of smaller changes including many to harden Splunk deployments and keep bad actors at bay.
Many of the features were inspired by customer suggestions on ideas.splunk.com. This is our official platform for centralizing product enhancement requests and enabling customers and Splunk employees to create, vote on and discuss ideas across our product portfolio. Here are a few of what I consider our “fan favorites” in terms of things our customers wanted to see:
Our customers are fanatical (in a good way), and I want to close by giving a shout-out to our faithful SplunkTrust, an elite group of Splunk users selected by peers for their dedication to the Splunk Community. As I walked the halls at .conf I stopped and talked with the SplunkTrust wearing their fezzes, pins and capes. The SplunkTrust also hosted a community booth to assist other users, demonstrated the power of Splunk's products and talked about the social impact they’re making.
Being at .conf22 live was definitely worth the wait, and we think Splunk 9.0 was too, thanks in no small part to our customers. Keep your ideas coming via ideas.splunk.com – you can be sure we’re listening and turning your data into doing for all Splunk users.
