Thanks for the info - it just sounds like a completely bizarre approach. Like, why even make it the same (SaaS and OSS versions)? If you're going to do SaaS ELK then why not just do that and add whatever features you need to be better than DataDog or w/e? Make the SaaS ELK better than a version anyone could even imagine self managing.

It's especially weird to me because if I was a casual user then I wouldn't even know Elastic had anything to do with Elasticsearch. You certainly wouldn't know it from their webpage. I literally see this at the top:

"Accelerate results that matter, across any cloud. Easily deploy anywhere, and extend the value of Elastic with cloud-native features."

What does this even mean? How is the marketing department not 100% of these layoffs, lol?! why is a so-called SaaS company talking to me about deploying to any cloud and what even is "Elastic" and just what problem is it solving?

This is so bad it's hilarious.

You have to scroll for awhile to even see the word "Elasticsearch" and I don't see anything about ELK anywhere.

What pathetic execution. You were smart to leave that place!
