Products, side by side

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

Guild.ai

Agent platform

Guild agent control planeAgent platform

Vendor-neutral control plane to deploy, run, monitor and govern AI agents built in any framework, with an MCP Gateway for tool and model access, AI Observability, AI Governance, token monitoring and an Optimizer.

Developer tool

Guild Software FactoryDeveloper tool

Agents that plan, build, test and review bounded engineering tasks from issues and hand engineers validated pull requests, running on the Guild control plane; humans approve and merge.

Splunk

Agent platform

Splunk Agent LaunchpadAgent platform

No-code builder and launcher for AI agents inside Splunk: security, IT and network teams create an agent and start it from the workflow where the signal appeared, rather than from a separate console.

Developer tool

Detection StudioDeveloper tool

The authoring environment for Splunk Enterprise Security's detections: a detection engineer plans, develops, tests, deploys and then monitors a detection in one place, instead of moving it between a notebook, a ticket and production.

Splunk AI ToolkitDeveloper tool

Platform for building, deploying and running agentic AI systems on Splunk data.

No counterpart

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

Application

AI SREApplication

Splunk's site-reliability agent: an AI teammate for IT and SRE teams that troubleshoots an incident, finds the root cause and proposes the fix, working from the telemetry already in Splunk rather than from a human's search.

Agent VisibilityApplication

The tracing half of Splunk's agent observability: one agent followed end to end from its own reasoning steps down to the GPU the run executed on, so a failure can be attributed to a layer rather than guessed at.

Agent and Model EvaluationApplication

Production scoring for agent traffic: every interaction graded for correctness, safety and tool use rather than a sample of them, with the evaluations built for agents instead of adapted from model benchmarks.

Runtime AI GuardrailsApplication

Splunk's enforcement layer for agents: a guardrail built from a customer's own evaluations blocks an unsafe agent action before the tool call executes, and logs every allow-or-block decision for audit.

Splunk Enterprise SecurityApplication

Integrated threat detection, investigation and response platform with agentic AI, SOAR, UEBA and SIEM unified into one SecOps experience.

Splunk IT Service IntelligenceApplication

AIOps and service-intelligence solution that uses AI-driven field discovery and AI-generated event correlation, summaries and root-cause guidance to connect IT events to business service health.

Splunk Observability CloudApplication

Observability platform where AI agents correlate signals across domains, propose remediation actions such as rollbacks or capacity changes, and provide dedicated agent/AI-system observability alongside infrastructure monitoring.

Platform

Splunk AI AssistantPlatform

Assistant inside Splunk Cloud Platform that turns plain-English questions into SPL, the query language Splunk searches machine data with, and explains existing searches back to an analyst.

Splunk Agent ObservabilityPlatform

Observability for somebody else's AI stack: Splunk traces a customer's own agents, the models they call, the vector databases behind them and the infrastructure underneath, and reports where the stack is failing.
