Chronicle had two businesses under one roof.
One is VirusTotal, which is super important to the security community but I don't think generates enough revenue to live on its own.
The other is a strange "Splunk Lite" offering that as far as I could tell the main selling point was it was way cheaper because Google gave them free/discounted storage. The search was terrible. It didn't highlight important things or hide the mundane. When I saw a demo it didn't even support IPv6 yet.
But I guess every moonshot factory has to have its Challenger disaster to learn a few lessons.
