I really enjoyed the Training and it was really beneficial for me to enhance my knowledge on Splunk. Here are some of the reasons why I liked this Training: 1>Trainer Vivek has very good knowledge on the Product. 2>The Training session we had was very Interactive, like it was not only us who only asking questions but also Vivek. He always made sure we understood the topic. 3>The best thing about this training was that everyday we used to spend 1 to 1hr 15 mins and after that we used to do lot of practice. 4> We had done lot of practice with the labs created on AWS and Vivek helped immensely with the creation of Splunk Lab on Linux Instances as I had very limited knowledge on Linux/Unix as I come from Windows Background. Thanks a lot IgmGuru and I'll surely join the Next Course on Splunk Security with you once I complete my Splunk Admin Certification!!!
