Genuinely surprised anybody would acquire Splunk in 2023. Whenever you hear about Splunk from security engineers, they're actively trying to get off it (edit: yes, primarily because of cost). Better, next-gen SIEMs are either here or around the corner.

Which ones do you recommend? Every one I have tried hasn't really given me the same flexibility as Splunk, most seem to miss the core part of what makes Splunk cool. Though I'd definitely like to see Splunk improve their design.

I'm using Suricata in production and evaluating OSSEC for viability, what else in the SIEM space is worth a look for Linux hackers?

Does anyone have an example of an acquisition where the products of the acquired company then became better?
