Here’s what one student had to say about Gary Swanson

“The instructor, Gary, did an excellent job leading the course. ITSI is, in my opinion, one of the most complex areas of the Splunk portfolio, with many moving parts and interdependent concepts. Gary did a fantastic job breaking everything down in a structured and engaging way, making it much easier to grasp. One of the highlights for me was his use of a car analogy to explain ITSI services. It was both clear and memorable, and I’m definitely going to borrow that when explaining ITSI to customers in the future.”
