Reviewer scorecard
“Nothing matches its full-text search capabilities. If you need search, Elasticsearch is still the answer.”
“The query builder is powerful and the SDK integration is clean. Better for product analytics than Google Analytics.”
“Massively over-engineered for most search use cases. Postgres full-text search or Typesense handle 80% of cases at 10% the cost.”
“The free tier with 20M events is generous. Best pure product analytics tool if you don't need session replay.”
“The convergence of search, observability, and security in one platform gives Elastic a unique position.”
“Not relevant for creative work. It's a product analytics tool for PMs and engineers.”
