  • Driving Forward: Outpacing the Competition with the Right Tools
In business, staying ahead of the competition requires the right tools, and that means moving beyond the basics.

If you’re still using Elastic’s free version on AWS, you’re getting some great core search and security features, but you’re not fully taking advantage of what Elastic can offer.  If you're already using it, you'll already know what 'good' is starting to look like (if not, why not give it a whirl?)

If you want to do better, be more efficient, face up to the competition and save money in the long run, it's worth knowing what you'd get if you were to upgrade. 

The Gold, Platinum, and Enterprise tiers offer advanced features that give you a real edge in the fast-moving world of data management. For example, advanced search capabilities let you dig deeper into your data, finding insights that the free version just can’t uncover. And with field-level security, you can ensure that sensitive data is protected, helping you stay compliant with privacy laws and reduce the risk of breaches.

When it comes to observability, Elastic’s paid versions give you a complete view of your environment. You’ll be able to see real-time performance metrics across your entire AWS infrastructure, which means you can spot issues before they become bigger problems. With features like root cause analysis and APM correlations, troubleshooting becomes faster and more accurate.

Elastic also helps you optimise performance with machine learning-powered anomaly detection. This feature helps you predict issues before they arise, ensuring your systems stay up and running without disruptions.

By upgrading to Elastic’s paid tiers, you can focus on what really matters, growing your business without worrying about data management or security risks.

You’ll have the tools you need to scale, monitor, and protect your AWS environment, keeping you ahead of competitors who might still be stuck with basic tools.
