Unlock your business potential

From basics to full power

If you’re using Elastic’s free version on AWS, you’re already taking a solid first step toward managing and understanding your data.

When it comes to truly unleashing the potential of your business, the basics just don’t cut it anymore. The free version may give you search and security capabilities, but there’s a world of additional features available in the paid versions that can help you scale, secure, and streamline your operations in ways that will save you time and money.

We’ve taken a good look into what you get for your money and it seems upgrading to Elastic’s Gold, Platinum, or Enterprise tiers unlocks a host of advanced features that are crucial for businesses that are growing and scaling on AWS. For example, you get field-and document-level security. This isn’t just a nice-to-have for businesses in regulated industries, it’s an essential tool that helps you meet compliance standards like HIPAA or GDPR. You can control exactly who has access to what data, which adds an extra layer of protection that’s simply not available in the free version.

Harnessing the power of machine learning

And let’s not forget machine learning. With features like anomaly detection, Elastic allows you to automatically spot unusual activity in your system that could indicate a problem or potential security threat. In an AWS environment, where things move fast, having the ability to detect anomalies early means you can act before an issue becomes a major problem, saving your business time and potentially preventing costly downtime.

When you upgrade, you’ll also gain access to advanced observability tools. This means you can monitor everything happening within your AWS environment in real time. You’ll get a much clearer picture of your system’s performance, which allows you to optimise, troubleshoot, and fix issues faster. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and avoid the “firefighting” approach, these capabilities are crucial.

Automate repetitive, low-value tasks

But the real value comes from automation. With tools like Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) and Snapshot Lifecycle Management (SLM), you can automate data management, backups, and retention policies. This reduces the manual overhead of maintaining your environment, freeing up your team to focus on higher-value tasks. In short, you get a more efficient, more secure, and faster system without the constant need for intervention.

Elastic’s paid versions give you the full potential of the platform, helping you move beyond the limits of the free version. If you want to scale your operations without worrying about security breaches or performance slowdowns, this is the upgrade you need.

Don't settle for the basics

Don’t let your business settle for basic when you could be taking advantage of the powerful tools available with Elastic’s paid tiers. By upgrading, you can ensure that your data is secure, your operations are streamlined, and your business can grow without the roadblocks that come with using only the free version.
