Elasticsearch: best-in-class for logs, now the best-in-class for metrics.

30× faster than Prometheus at 50% the cost of Datadog

SRE teams shouldn't have to choose between metrics coverage and cost control. Elasticsearch, the best-in-class for logs, is now best-in-class for metrics, too – with a single backend and a single query language. Native Prometheus and PromQL support means existing queries, dashboards, and alert rules work without modification. Query performance runs 30x faster than Prometheus with 2.5x better storage efficiency. And costs come in at less than 50% of Datadog, without custom metric penalties or per-host pricing. Elastic delivers more metrics, longer retention, lower cost - no retraining budget, no surprise bill at the end of the month.

Elastic helps you manage and scale Kubernetes environments — with full support for OpenTelemetry-based observability on AKS. Ingest telemetry from your AKS clusters and workloads using Elastic’s OpenTelemetry-native pipeline, simplifying observability for containerized and microservices-based apps.
