“In the last two years, there’s been a profound change in the way we think about digital publishing. We need the capability to respond to expectations around traditional digital channels like websites and apps, but also things like voice-activated news, machine learning, and bot-based interaction. What we’ve achieved with Elastic …

"Elasticsearch makes searching across multiple indices painless. That allows us to aggregate different products to our main search with a single click."

"We're now operating in a world where the technology aspects of the car are becoming more important than the pure mechanical engineering of the vehicle."

“When I first tried Elasticsearch, I was blown away. I ran a search on a billion rows in just one second, whereas other products took 30 minutes. I honestly don’t know how we managed without it.”

"I thought, there's no way a small team can handle this."

"With Elastic Observability, we now have a single stack where we can unify our logs, metrics, and user experience data. We also use Kibana dashboards to visualize insights and generate reports to share with other parts of the business."

"A successful attack on our systems could have a serious impact on the organizations who rely on us for temporary and permanent staff. Above all, it could prevent thousands of people from receiving their weekly salaries, seriously impacting their lives."

"Elastic Cloud has enabled us to move to a streamlined operational expenditure model. The cost is very reasonable and predictable based on our data use. I'm responsible for a large portion of the IT budget so this makes my life a lot easier."

"Near real-time was key to us, and Elasticsearch gives us what we need to build that set of features in our solution."

"As a CTO, I don't want to spend a lot of time worrying about scaling. Elasticsearch makes it easy to project what the total cost of ownership of your search platform is."

"One of the reasons we went with the Elasticsearch Service was to have that flexibility to scale. With the press of a few buttons, we went from an under-performing system to one that delivered receipt lookups at lightning speeds."

"What we’ve built basically runs itself and if we do need to scale, Elasticsearch Service makes it as easy as getting water out of a tap. It's just not something we have to worry about."

"The key to attracting millions of loyal followers is providing the best possible customer experience. Intelligent search is an essential component to creating that experience."

"When [visitors] need to find something very quickly, they can now just search for it. We've gotten great feedback both internally and from citizens externally."

"Not only did we keep our site up-to-date, as the storm began to unfold we saw people searching about street closures. Seeing the search data let the city directly respond to what was going on. On the fly, [the city] built an app to show which streets were flooded."
