Until now, standard search solution pricing has been based on models that are difficult to understand, expensive to scale, and/or beneficial to only the search vendor. At Elastic, we’re taking a different approach based on the principles of transparency, fairness, and scalability, and have introduced resource-based pricing for our products running on Elastic Cloud. And we believe that this pricing approach will revolutionize Enterprise Search buying and ownership.

Today’s businesses spend more money on SaaS tools than on laptops. On average, today’s employees use a minimum of eight different SaaS tools. The security implications of this robust cloud landscape cannot be neglected and we trust you are fully aware of it already.

The power and value that’s embedded in logs are reflected by the status and behavior of our applications and infrastructure. Many times we would like to be alerted when the application or its components show abnormal behavior. This behavior can be reflected by the application sending some logs at a higher than usual volume. Figuring out exactly what ‘higher than usual’ means, or in other words, setting the threshold value at which the alert should trigger can be a daunting task.
