Splunk Statistics (2026): Revenue, Customers, Employees & Cisco Acquisition Facts

Splunk is best known for turning machine data into searchable, actionable insights—powering security (SIEM/SOAR), observability, and IT operations for organizations that need real-time visibility across complex systems. Founded in 2003 and long headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Splunk became a go-to platform for teams that investigate incidents, detect threats, and improve reliability.

One important update for “latest Splunk stats”: Splunk is no longer a standalone public company. Cisco completed its acquisition of Splunk in March 2024, and Splunk’s shares stopped trading on NASDAQ. That means the most recent, clean “Splunk-only” financial totals are from Splunk’s final fiscal year as a public company (FY2024).
