Elastic named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: AIOps Platforms, Q4 2026
With our common data and analytics platform, we are a strong fit for organizations that want platform flexibility, open architectures, and powerful search and analytics capabilities, according to Forrester.
We believe this recognition reflects why SRE teams choose us. Elastic Observability offers AI-driven investigations built with:
- Transparent AI investigations that show the data examined, the explanations considered, and the evidence behind each conclusion
- Storage economics that make it practical to retain full telemetry for AI investigations
- Learning from past incidents that speeds remediation of recurring issues
- Proactive detection that surfaces unknowns with no alert configuration required
- An open architecture built on OpenTelemetry that keeps data in its native form, so teams can adopt new instrumentation without rebuilding pipelines
- A unified data platform that allows us to expand into emerging AI use cases and build upon our strengths in observability, security, and search
