1,000 asked, 24 defensible: Datadog dominates public Splunk-plus-competitor evidence

Asked (summary)

Name every user or customer (or their company when a name is unavailable) who uses Splunk together with Cribl, excluding Splunk and Cisco employees — 1,000 of them.

Asked (follow-up, summary)

Same request, but with a Cribl competitor instead of Cribl: name 1,000 users or customers publicly using Splunk together with a Cribl-competitor product, still excluding Splunk and Cisco employees.

Public web evidence does not support a list of 1,000. Six search batches across 72 query angles and 13,026 raw results yielded, after strict screening, 24 public candidates: 21 named people and 3 company-only fallbacks, spread over 20 source hosts. Most entries rest on a single public page, and source quality varies — treat each row against its linked evidence, and do not read this as every such user worldwide.

Each square is one candidate — Datadog holds 10 of 24

Filled squares are named people; outlined squares are company-only fallbacks. A red corner marks the one lower-confidence, secondary-source entry. Hover or tap a square for the person, employer and evidence.

Datadog accounts for 10 of 24 candidates, including a first-party Datadog case study of Contentful dual-shipping logs to Splunk and Datadog before retiring Splunk — datadoghq.com

Independent reporting is the strongest tier: Raymond James runs Splunk for log aggregation alongside Datadog and Dynatrace per diginomica, and Paddy Power Betfair ran Splunk with Sumo Logic before consolidating — diginomica.com, computerworld.com

Only 3 rows are company-only fallbacks (Meta, ProRail, CrowdStrike); the Meta entry rests on a secondary market-data article and is flagged lower-confidence — johal.in

No single URL supports more than 4.2% of rows — the 24 candidates come from 20 distinct hosts, e.g. a Gravwell-plus-Splunk security stack at BigID — sagetap.io

Evidence table — all 24, grouped by competitor, named people first

Name / company	Role	Evidence of joint use with Splunk	Source

Method: 24 screened public candidates of joint Splunk + Cribl-competitor use (21 named people, 3 company-only), from 6 search batches, 72 query angles and 13,026 raw results across 20 source hosts; no URL supports more than 4.2% of rows. A row counts on concurrent use or an explicitly overlapping migration; generic comparisons, job ads, labs, evaluations, non-overlapping migrations, and Splunk or Cisco employees were excluded. Most rows have one supporting page; resumes and profiles are weaker than first-party customer stories or independent reporting. The requested 1,000 could not be defensibly produced and was not manufactured.
