Congrats to the team.

I used Signalfx at Yelp years back. It was a fantastic product - I miss it to
this day. (Same with Splunk).

Both products set a ridiculously high UX bar, but they definitely charge
accordingly for it.

I also wonder if New Relic is an acquisition target as well.

New Relic’s stock is down 42% on the year so I don’t see them doing very well.
An acquisition would make sense.

they missed targets and told everyone that a new dashboard with existing

Tiger Global led the Series E round in June at a $500m post-money valuation.
That means they get a 2x in a few months. This looks like it will be a
fantastic exit for employees too!

Proof that the cyber security industry is an overlooked dark horse, full of
opportunities.

Too bad it gets overshadowed by AI, cryptocurrency, VR/AR. I guess it's unsexy
and not necessarily new. But there's a lot of money in it.

From the inside of the cyber security industry, it certainly doesn't feel that
dark horse-like. It feels quite crowded actually.

There are two big things going for it though:

Splunk will eventually be 
 purchased by a legacy tech ship's company like Cisco or a individual equity like Thoma 
 Bravo.
