Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Elastic

Application

Attack DiscoveryApplication

An LLM-based application that analyzes security alerts, identifies potential attacks, and groups related alerts into attack narratives.

Elastic AI SOC EngineApplication

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 AIOpsApplication

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

Elastic LLM ObservabilityApplication

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

Elastic SecurityApplication

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.

StreamsApplication

Uses AI to structure and enrich raw logs.

Platform

Elastic AI AssistantPlatform

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.

Elastic ObservabilityPlatform

Uses machine learning to identify anomalies before they become incidents.

ElasticsearchPlatform

Stores structured, unstructured, and vector data.

New Relic

Application

New Relic AIApplication

New Relic AI analyzes telemetry data and answers questions about monitored systems.

New Relic Applied IntelligenceApplication

New Relic Applied Intelligence detects anomalies and helps engineers understand and resolve incidents.

Platform

New Relic AI ObservabilityPlatform

Observability for AI applications: LLM performance, error and cost, token and quality metrics, MCP server call lifecycle, and maps of multi-agent interactions.

No counterpart

Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for New Relic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Agent platform

Elastic Agent BuilderAgent platform

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

Elastic WorkflowsAgent platform

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

Infrastructure service

Elastic Context EngineInfrastructure service

Distills source data into context for retrieval by agents and applications.

Model API

Elastic Inference ServiceModel API

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.

New Relic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

AI agent

New Relic AutopilotAI agent

New Relic Autopilot investigates incidents, identifies likely root causes and recommends next actions.

Data service

New Relic Ground TruthData service

New Relic Ground Truth combines telemetry, dependencies, incidents and changes into operational context for AI agents.
