“Splunk software has impacted how quickly we become aware of a potential issue before it becomes a real problem,” said Hugo Roux, solutions architect, Clickatell. “The team now has the ability to spot and react faster to anomalies, so we can be more proactive, letting customers know something is wrong before they flag it to us.
