I don't see any new requirements in terms of improvements for Splunk Cloud Platform at this time. Splunk's dashboarding, reporting, and visualizations are evolving at a larger scale with the new Splunk Dashboard Studio in place. There were some limitations with the classic dashboard where you had to be aware of different HTML, CSS, and custom JavaScript for better visualizations. That's being migrated towards Splunk Dashboard Studio, which is evolving at a great pace, providing similar functionalities. I have not faced any current challenges regarding Splunk Cloud Platform's limitations. I still think, however, that better configuration and customization options for workload management could be enhanced, but that applies to Splunk Enterprise as well. It's just my understanding and what I foresee, but I'm not sure if it will be a priority right now, as even without workload management, a lot can be done, and the product team might have a different roadmap.
