Migrate to Elastic's AI-driven log analytics with ease through Express Migration

Operations teams face a challenging environment: preventing downtime in complex, distributed, cloud-native environments with exponentially increasing data volume while avoiding runaway costs. SREs need accurate and contextual observability insights to resolve issues and ensure resiliency.

Built on Search AI, Elastic Observability provides AI-driven log analytics supported through contextual insights with RAG-based Elastic AI Assistant, fast problem identification with one-click AIOps, and powerful analytics the Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL). These capabilities enable faster issue detection and resolution while lowering costs and providing unlimited retention. To accelerate the adoption of these advanced features, Elastic’s Express Migration program now provides an incentivized path for organizations to quickly leverage Elastic Observability and migrate off legacy logging solutions, such as Splunk. Additionally, Elastic delivers these capabilities on a unified platform with a singular scalable data store.

Elastic Express Migration provides two key incentives for current customers of Splunk. Building on Elastic’s simple consumption-based pricing model, the program provides migrating customers with consumption credits for a portion of their new contract with Elastic to help alleviate their existing contract burden. Secondly, the program provides service credits — as a proportion of their new commitment with Elastic — that may be applied toward Elastic’s migration professional services.*

Migrating traditional logs to a modern solution has historically been a laborious task dominated by onboarding all of an organization's data sources and transferring semantics and queries from the old log analytics platform. Coupled with the commercial burden of existing multiyear contracts, this imposes significant friction and unnecessary delays in adopting and benefiting from recent advances.

Migrating to Elastic Observability is significantly easier with our 400+ out-of-the-box integrations, industry-standardized semantics (OTel), new piped query language ES|QL, and the ability to query data quickly across low-cost storage at scale. These capabilities paired with Elastic services ensure you reduce the migration friction associated with data onboarding and process (workflow) conversion. Additionally, numerous Elastic customers are also using the Elastic AI Assistant to auto-convert their existing rules, queries, and semantics, making it easier to migrate at a lower cost.

The goal of the Elastic Express Migration program is to provide commercial and implementation incentives in addition to these product innovations. This program aims to accelerate customer migration to Elastic's Search AI-powered log analytics, offering peace of mind and unbeatable ROI.
