867 publicly documented Splunk users and customers, verified across 601 organizations — short of the 1,000 requested
Asked:
“give me the names (and company they work for) of every splunk user or customer, excluding splunk and cisco employees. i want 1000 of them.”
Public web research verified 867 distinct person–company pairs (86.7% of the 1,000 requested) drawn from 47 independent source hosts and materials spanning 2008–2026. There is no complete public roster of Splunk users, so this is not literally everyone: each row is a person with public evidence connecting them to Splunk use or customer status — administering or deploying Splunk, speaking about a customer use case, winning a customer award, or recognized user-community membership. Splunk and Cisco employees were excluded based on the employer shown in the cited evidence.

Evidence by year
Accenture leads with 10 publicly documented users; Atlassian and Carnival Corporation follow with 9 each — see for example the 2016 Splunk Revolution Award winners.
2017 is the single richest evidence year with 92 people; 2014–2019 together account for 438 of the 867 rows — much of it from .conf speaker records.
82 rows carry no evidence year (left blank, not discarded); first-party splunk.com pages back 546 rows, with the rest spread across 46 independent hosts such as computerweekly.com.

Method and limitations
This directory was assembled from public web pages only: Splunk’s own blogs, .conf speaker listings and award announcements, user-group pages, press coverage, conference archives, university and corporate sources published 2008–2026. Inclusion means public evidence once connected a person to Splunk use or customer status; it is not a claim about present-day employment or current usage. “Pages” is the number of distinct collected pages corroborating that exact person–company pair. Duplicate person–company pairs were merged. No single source URL backs more than 0.58% of rows, so no single page dominates the set. Splunk and Cisco employees were excluded by the employer shown in the evidence. Only public names, organizations, evidence context and citations are shown — no private contact details. The result falls short of the request: 867 verified of 1,000 asked.
Data: 867 deduplicated person–company pairs with public evidence of Splunk use or customer status, collected from 47 independent source hosts, evidence dated 2008–2026 (82 rows undated). “Pages” = distinct corroborating pages per pair. Splunk and Cisco employees excluded. Compiled February 2026; long evidence descriptions trimmed for space.
