Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Elastic
Platform
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.
Qualcomm
Platform
A cloud and on-premises inference platform offering an SDK, OpenAI-compatible APIs and ready-made chat, RAG, image and code applications on top of Qualcomm's AI accelerators.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Qualcomm yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
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.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
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.
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Model 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.
Qualcomm sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Developer tool
A developer platform for optimising, benchmarking and deploying on-device AI models against 300+ pre-optimised models and 50+ real Qualcomm devices in the cloud.
Hardware
A PCIe AI inference accelerator card with up to 870 TOPS INT8 and 128GB of memory, built for generative AI and LLM inference in the data centre.
Rack-scale data-centre inference accelerator carrying 768 GB of LPDDR per card, announced October 2025 with commercial availability expected in 2026.
A second-generation rack-scale AI inference platform using Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute (HBC) Gen 1 for memory-bound agentic inference.
A third-generation rack-scale AI inference platform using Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute (HBC) Gen 2 for hyperscale LLM and agentic deployments.
Embedded edge-AI processor in early access; part of Qualcomm's Dragonwing IQ2 series for IoT.
Embedded IoT/edge-AI processor family, distinct from the Dragonfly AI200/250/300 data-centre accelerator line; an IQ-9075 Evaluation Kit is purchasable through Qualcomm's developer hardware section.
Mobile and PC processor family whose on-device AI engine runs models locally on phones, laptops and cars.
A family of Snapdragon compute platforms for Windows PCs (X, X2 Elite, X2 Plus) sold on NPU-accelerated on-device AI performance.
