Who this is for
Teams avoiding vendor lock-in
Fully open-source search and analytics with no proprietary licensing terms.
Teams already on AWS
Native AWS OpenSearch Service integration for teams standardized on AWS infrastructure.
Teams needing auditable access control
Fine-grained security and audit logging built into the open-source core, not a paid add-on.
OpenSearch by industry
Real pain points we solve, by sector.
Government & Public Sector
The problem: Procurement and compliance rules often require open-source, auditable software over proprietary licenses.
How we help: Fully open-source OpenSearch deployment with documented, auditable security configuration.
SaaS & Tech Platforms
The problem: Search and logging costs scale unpredictably with proprietary per-node licensing.
How we help: OpenSearch on your own infrastructure or AWS, with no per-node license fees as you scale.
Financial Services
The problem: Audit logging and access control need to be provable to regulators and auditors.
How we help: OpenSearch Security with fine-grained role-based access and full audit logging.
E-commerce
The problem: Product search needs to be fast and relevant without ongoing per-query licensing costs.
How we help: OpenSearch-powered product search tuned for performance with predictable, license-free costs.

A straight path from first call to a running OpenSearch setup.
Data & use-case audit
We map what you need to search, observe, or secure — and whether OpenSearch fits vs. alternatives.

Why deploy OpenSearch through SKIFIN
Local support, real people
India-based engineers who answer the phone — not a support ticket that vanishes into a queue.
Migration, not just setup
We move your data, users, and workflows across with zero-downtime plans, not a login link.
Security done right
Sensible defaults on access, backups, and compliance from day one — not bolted on later.
One number for day-2 support
Licensing renewals, user changes, and troubleshooting — handled without you learning the vendor's portal.
Right-sized licensing
We review your seats and tiers regularly so you're never quietly paying for licenses nobody uses.
Vendor-neutral advice
We're certified across five platforms — so our recommendation is based on your fit, not our commission.
SKIFIN vs. going direct to OpenSearch
Same platform, same pricing tiers — the difference is who sets it up and who you call after.
| Through SKIFIN | Going direct | |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing | Fully open source, architected correctly from day one | Self-managed, risk of misconfiguration |
| Cluster architecture | Sized to your data and query patterns | Default sizing, re-architected after it breaks |
| Security plugin setup | Role-based access mapped to your team | Left to your team to configure correctly |
| Upgrades & maintenance | Managed, tested before rollout | Self-managed, risk of breaking changes |
Frequently asked questions
