Opster

What Opster does

Opster is an Israeli-headquartered software company that builds a search operations platform for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch deployments. Its core product, AutoOps, is a SaaS platform that connects directly to clusters and continuously analyzes hundreds of metrics, surfacing pre-configured alerts for ingestion bottlenecks, data structure misconfiguration, unbalanced loads, and slow queries, along with performance recommendations, resource utilization and cost insights, and resolution paths. The portfolio is rounded out by on-premise tools (Search Gateway, Management Console, Template Optimizer) for self-managed environments, a set of free community tools (Check-Up, Search Log Analyzer, OpsGPT), and production-support and training services. OpsGPT, an AI-powered assistant for Elasticsearch operations, is the company's primary AI feature and is built on OpenAI's language models.

The company monetizes through subscription-based pricing for AutoOps (quote-based, free for Elastic Cloud customers), on-premise tool subscriptions, production support, and training services. Its go-to-market combines a product-led growth motion (free community tools) with an enterprise field-sales motion targeting large Elasticsearch and OpenSearch deployments. Named customers include Coupa, Backblaze, Staples, Syte, Everymundo, BMC, CoreView, OzTam, Omnidots, and Interswitch, with reported outcomes including a 60% Elasticsearch cost reduction, 50% performance improvements, and one Coupa case study claiming over $4 million in hardware cost savings. The company is SOC 2 Type II certified and is reported to serve 20,000+ community users globally.

In 2024, Elastic N.V. acquired Opster, integrating its operational intelligence capabilities into the Elastic organization. The company had previously raised a $5,000,000 funding round in July 2022 led by JAL Ventures. Leadership includes CEO and co-founder Ziv Segal and co-founder and Chairman Yonatan Stern. Headcount is in the 11–50 range, and the company is registered as Opster Ltd. with a principal place of business in Raanana, Israel.

Broad incumbents

• Splunk: Splunk is a broad observability and SIEM platform with deep log-analysis capabilities. While not ES-specific, it competes with AutoOps for log-management budget and has added Elasticsearch ingestion optimizations that overlap with Opster's performance tuning.
• Datadog: Datadog is a leading cloud observability platform with broad APM, log management, and infrastructure monitoring. While not specialized for Elasticsearch/OpenSearch like Opster, it competes for the same observability budget and progressively adds cluster-health and log-analytics features that overlap with AutoOps.
• Grafana Labs: Grafana Labs offers open-source observability stacks (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, Tempo) with strong community adoption. While not ES-specialized, its monitoring and alerting features overlap with AutoOps, and Grafana is often deployed alongside Elasticsearch.
• New Relic: New Relic is a full-stack observability platform with APM, infrastructure monitoring, and log management capabilities. It competes for the same enterprise observability spend as Opster and is expanding its integrations with log stores including Elasticsearch.
• Sumo Logic: Sumo Logic is a cloud-based log management and observability platform. It targets similar enterprise customers running high-volume log pipelines and competes with Opster for observability-driven cost-optimization budgets.
• Elastic N.V. Elastic is the parent company of Opster (acquired 2024) and the creator of Elasticsearch. Its Stack Monitoring and Elastic Cloud offering overlap with AutoOps for native cluster management. As Opster's acquirer, Elastic is both partner and potential competitor for ES/OpenSearch operational tooling.

Direct peers

• Mezmo: Mezmo (formerly LogDNA) is a cloud-native log management platform with pipeline optimization and cost-control features. It targets similar enterprise customers focused on reducing log infrastructure spend, directly overlapping with AutoOps' cost-insight value proposition.
• Coralogix: Coralogix is a cloud-native observability platform purpose-built for logs, metrics, and security data, with cost-optimization features that overlap with Opster's AutoOps cost insights. It serves a similar mid-to-large enterprise customer base running high-volume Elasticsearch workloads.
• Logz.io: Logz.io is a cloud observability platform built on open-source stacks (ELK, Loki, Prometheus) with cost-optimization tooling. It directly parallels Opster's positioning around simplified ES/OpenSearch operations and cost reduction for enterprise log workloads.

Emerging players

• Honeycomb.io: Honeycomb is an observability platform focused on high-cardinality event data and debugging, often used by engineering teams running Elasticsearch-backed services. It represents an emerging alternative to specialized tools like AutoOps for application-level performance insight.
