With the acquisition my concern partially lies in cost but is more focused on quality. Cisco does big expensive stuff with big expensive certifications. I'm concerned they'll try to enterprise and make HIPAA compliant and (add insane features here) with the result being a quickly degrading customer experience.

My company has developers a plenty - but we also have a lot of less technical people who give our platform value... splunk makes our logs accessible and usable to those people without requiring a technical liason.

I'm concerned with needing to divert developers (and like, senior ones that have a lot of trust) to find better solutions or, god forbid, try to roll our own.
