Elasticsearch has been identified as a more cost-efficient and high-performing alternative to OpenSearch for search and logging purposes, offering significant ROI benefits, including a 593% return when migrating from OpenSearch. This conclusion arises from a technical validation conducted by TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group, which found Elasticsearch to surpass OpenSearch in key performance indicators and resource utilization. The transition to Elasticsearch from OpenSearch not only enhances resource optimization and IT efficiency but also offers substantial cost savings, improved end-user productivity, and faster application delivery. Where OpenSearch presents challenges in performance, scalability, and developer experience, Elasticsearch provides a streamlined solution with reduced cloud infrastructure expenditure and enhanced support. The report emphasizes that migrating to Elasticsearch allows organizations to leverage better data tiering and avoid over-provisioned cloud infrastructure, ultimately driving down costs and improving organizational efficiency.
