We used to use an ELK cluster but it was always breaking - I'm sure this stuff can be reliable but we just wanted an easy way to search ~300GB of logs (10GB/day)

Somehow I came across scalyr and it's just phenomenally fast - and cost less than our ELK cluster. Definitely worth trying if it provides the features you need.

ELK has way too much care and feeding for it to be worth it until your log ingestion rates start to get crazy.
