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.

Papr

Application

Papr WorkApplication

Local desktop application where users describe a sales, marketing or customer workflow in chat and AI agents build it as an app that keeps running, connected to calendar, email and CRM tools and to the user's choice of model (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or a local Ollama model); offered through a waitlist and no price is published.

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.

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.

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.

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

API service

Papr GraphAPI service

API that upgrades the vector embeddings a team already has into graph-aware embeddings: one call at index time attaches 14 relational dimensions (entities, relations, time, ownership) to each vector and one call at query time reranks the top results, keeping the user's embedding model and vector database; processed in memory and not stored, with VPC deployment and audit logs for enterprise teams.
