I guess Cisco's AppDynamic acquisition from a few years ago isn't panning out. Or maybe they're complimentary, who knows?
Does anyone have an example of an acquisition where the products of the acquired company then became better?

GitHub I'm sure there are tons of other, lesser known acquisitions... looking at what Apple acquires - seems relevant to be integrated into their products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio... Oh, wow, they even acquired Intel smartphone modem business at 2019 and other Semiconductor businesses.
DarkSky seems to be a big exception to this
I hated Splunk so much that I spent a couple days a few months ago writing a single 1200 line python script that does absolutely everything I need in terms of automatic log collection, ingestion, and analysis from a fleet of cloud instances. It pulls in all the log lines, enriches them with useful metadata like the IP address of the instance, the machine name, the log source, the datetime, etc. and stores it all in S…
Large enterprises can generate hundreds of terabytes to petabytes every day. Splunk has all sorts of issues, but to pretend as if you can replace them in any large shop with a 1200 line python script and SQLite is just being disingenuous. This acquisition falls right into Cisco's sweet spot, they aren't chasing shops that can dump all their security and infrastructure logging into a SQLite database and not have it tip over in an hour.

I disagree. Apple Weather has become an amazing app since the DarkSky acquisition. I especially like the hourly charts.

Also, from a business perspective, Cisco basically removed a competitor from the field.

For how many data sources? The whole reason everyone goes to Splunk is that it scales, and scales incredibly well. Large enterprises can generate hundreds of terabytes to petabytes every day.

What makes you say Splunk is a dead player? Not arguing with you, it's genuine curiosity on my part.
they price-out medium customers so mind-share decreases
In sales we call this "Ideal Customer Profile." Why do I want a customer with less money to spend if I have a product with enough capability for the gigantic money-is-no-object customers?
