6 Customer and Analysts Splunk App for Windows: Our admins now have the big picture of OS and applicalon events at their fingerlps and no longer need to aggregate results individually. This improves our ownership, helping us to keep these crilcal systems online. Splunk App for Exchange: We were using a number of different tools and considering new tools to help us get a handle on a wide range of issues. Once we became familiar with Splunk and all it had to offer, we realized we didn t need a lot of other tools. We re finding new uses for it all the Lme. 451 research: "Windows presents a monitoring dilemma for organizalons of any size. The new version of the Splunk App for Windows should help simplify this monitoring challenge by incorporalng Windows data with other data generated across the infrastructure. 6
