Any specific issues you are referring to? At work, we've been using ES heavily for many years and it isn't really something taking up time apart from updating the software every once in a while.

Are you constantly adding new users and having to update retention policies as users try to fill up your machines?

I guess you are referring to the "log search" use case? We don't use it for that so that isn't really an issue, and it's mainly about beefing up memory / cpu.
