Elastic named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability
For the third consecutive year, Gartner® has named Elastic a Leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.
We believe this recognition reflects why engineering teams choose Elastic: context-rich investigations, open standards support, and high cardinality efficiency at scale.
- AI investigations with full context: When other platforms force you to drop telemetry to save costs, their AI has gaps. Only Elastic offers AI agents and ML built on the richest possible context for investigations and RCA.
- Future-proof with open standards: Elasticsearch is open by design, schema-neutral, and built on OpenTelemetry (OTel) from the ground up. Ingest any data from any source — whether Prometheus, OTel, Beats, or OCSF — and store each in its native format, querying it as-is. No translation layer, no information loss, no migration tax.
- Deploy on your terms: Run Elastic where your infrastructure lives — self-hosted, cloud-hosted, or fully managed serverless on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- AI and LLM observability: Prebuilt integrations for Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, and Google Vertex AI track invocations, token usage, latency, and errors.
