Products

Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• Elastic AI SOC Engine Application Sold on its own

  An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.

• Elastic Security Application Sold on its own

  Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.

Inside Elastic Cloud

• Elastic Inference Service Model API Paid add-on to the parent

  Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.

Inside Elastic Cloud Hosted Enterprise subscription

• Elastic AI Assistant Platform Included with the parent

  A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.

Inside Elastic Cloud Serverless

• Elastic Agent Builder Agent platform Paid add-on to the parent

  A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.

• Elastic Workflows Agent platform Paid add-on to the parent

  An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.

Inside Elastic Observability

• Elastic AIOps Application

  GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.

• Elastic LLM Observability Application

  Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
