The software seems very lazy. The interface belongs in the 90s. They've been resting on their laurels for eons. The fuckin basic ass PowerShell IDE that comes with windows is about seventeen trillion times more well designed and user-friendly.


> The interface belongs in the 90s

That’s… a compliment? There have been very few positive interface developments in the last 2 decades for power users. If you want to rip out 95% of the functionality and 99% of the usefulness so morons with iPads can navigate it, then it probably needs adjustments.


Think US airlines UI rather than good examples of 90s design.


>The interface belongs in the 90s Maybe this is why I actually like Splunk. Everything is simple an intuitive. Modern UIs seem to be universally terrible.


Yeah I think this is where Datadog excelled and Splunk struggled. Design is clearly better at Datadog, especially the onboarding UX and workflow.


The companies that buy Splunk don't care about its interface.

They care about its capabilities and its on a different level than Datadog, Elastic etc
