Products, side by side
Hand-checked pairing
Elastic
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.
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.
SentinelOne
Application
Discovers and governs employee and developer use of AI services, redacts sensitive data in prompts, controls autonomous agents and MCP servers, and defends custom AI applications against prompt injection, jailbreaks and data poisoning.
Cloud-native application protection platform that defends production workloads, cloud and AI infrastructure and the data stores feeding models, detecting and responding to threats autonomously across the cloud estate.
AI-powered endpoint security that combines endpoint protection, detection and response, and automated remediation and rollback in a single agent across Windows, macOS, Linux and cloud workloads.
Identity-security module of the Singularity Platform that protects against credential misuse and identity-based attacks.
On-device mobile threat defense for iOS, Android and ChromeOS that stops phishing, malware and risky apps with an on-device model and needs no cloud connection to detect.
Managed AI-assisted threat detection and response (MDR-style) service delivered by SentinelOne's global services team.
Platform
A security information and event management platform that ingests and normalizes cloud, identity, endpoint and third-party telemetry, correlates signals into incidents via Purple AI, and executes containment from the investigation console.
Umbrella platform that runs SentinelOne's endpoint, cloud, identity and mobile protection on one agent and console with autonomous detection, response and rollback; the modules a buyer licenses are recorded separately.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for SentinelOne yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
SentinelOne sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
An agentic AI security analyst embedded in the Singularity Platform that auto-triages alerts, runs investigations and threat hunts, and recommends or executes response actions over OCSF-normalized SentinelOne and third-party telemetry.
Data service
A security telemetry pipeline service that filters low-value logs, normalizes heterogeneous sources into OCSF, and enriches events before they reach a SIEM, built on technology from SentinelOne's acquisition of Observo AI.
