VMWare and Splunk

A very good analysis report i happen to read recently is here  
Splunk puts on its headlamp and dives into VMware's depths

Strengths 
Splunk App for VMware brings virtual environments under the same kinds of logging, monitoring, trending, planning and security controls Splunk has long offered to other realms of IT.

Weaknesses 
Although the company has worked hard to build its offerings out, it's still frequently derided as merely log search.

Opportunities 
VMware environments are growing daily, and daily becoming more difficult and complicated to manage. Tools to simplify administrators' lives are considered well worth the money.

Threats 
VMware has already acquired Integrien to address its weaknesses around forensics and trending, and Cetas and Log Insight to shore up its analytics story. The virtualization giant won't give up without a fight
