Ep 7 - When solving the issue becomes an issue - with Elastic's Philipp Krenn

Some products solve a huge issue for their users. But sometimes, it is this big innovation that stands in the way of users adopting newer features.

The product falls victim to its own success.

Philipp Krenn, EMEA Team Lead at Elastic, shares how they dealt with it, and talks with Elias about Elastic's experience.

What's in it for you:
