This will help all organisations to implement Splunk.""It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics.""It needs integration with a configuration management solution.""While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
