Would you like a closer relationship with Elastic's expert troubleshooters, helping to resolve your most critical issues faster, amplifying your use of Elastic products? Enter Elastic’s Designated Support Engineer (DSE) service — a specialized offering tailored to elevate your experience with Elastic solutions. In this blog, we'll delve into the unique features and advantages of the Elastic DSE service by shedding light on how it can enhance your organization's operational efficiency and data management capabilities.

Personalize your support experience

The Designated Support Engineer service is a premium support offering that provides your business with a personalized support experience. Unlike traditional support, where customers interact with different support engineers for each issue, a designated support engineer offers a single point of contact with knowledge of your business, your use case, and your technical environment. This service is especially beneficial for organizations with mission-critical systems, complex software integrations, or unique technical requirements.

Advantages of the Elastic DSE service

The key features and benefits of the service include:

Personalized assistance

  • DSEs are assigned to only a few customers, allowing them the time and space to develop a deep understanding of your infrastructure, business goals, and operational challenges.

  • This personalized approach enables DSEs to provide assistance relevant to your use case, saving time and minimizing disruptions to your operations.

Proactive problem solving

  • DSEs take a proactive stance by identifying potential issues before they escalate.

  • Through continuous monitoring and analysis, DSEs can anticipate problems, suggest preventive measures, and ensure system stability.

Rapid issue resolution

  • You will benefit from expedited issue resolution due to the engineer's familiarity with your system.

  • The quick response time minimizes downtime, ensuring that your business can maintain operational continuity.

Knowledge transfer 

  • DSEs are available to your team for Q&A sessions to help impart valuable knowledge and insights.

  • They share best practices with your team, empowering them to handle common issues independently.

Cross-functional coordination

  • In complex technical environments, issues often require collaboration between multiple internal teams.

  • The DSE facilitates communication and coordination with your account team across multiple teams within Development, Product Management, and Customer Success, ensuring a unified and efficient approach to solving problems.

Feedback loop

  • The DSE acts as a customer ambassador within Elastic to ensure your feedback and insights reach the right teams quickly. 

  • This continuous feedback helps improve products, services, and internal processes that lead to a more responsive and customer-centric approach.

Adding value to both sides

Having an assigned designated support engineer on our account has allowed us to receive quicker solutions, as the support agent has learned our environment. We are able to send errors over, and as they are familiar with our layout, we do not have to troubleshoot basic issues. Instead, we can start narrowing down the problem and find a solution within a few messages back and forth. This has enabled faster triage and quicker resolution of issues when they occur. Using a DSE also provides the benefit of having someone who knows our environment and can offer suggestions on how to improve our resource usage in a preemptive manner.

Becoming a DSE has brought about a revolutionary change in the scope and quality of my work. With focus, I am able to deliver a service to my enterprise customer that far exceeds what I was capable of before. Instead of playing catchup, I’m now able to anticipate their needs and deliver solutions more quickly to a wider range of problems. I also have time to build strong relationships with their engineers, gain deeper knowledge of their use cases, and become an advocate for their goals within the wider Elastic organization. Bugs get fixed faster, enhancements added sooner, and roadmap decisions better informed. It really is a win-win for both partners as well as for me personally because the work is more fulfilling.
