According to Forrester Principal Analyst and report author Allie Mellen, "Elastic is an engineering-driven company that manages and analyzes data for security and observability use cases. It has a consistent vision of solving security as a data problem. Its innovation, especially in AI, is at the forefront of the market…"

The report also states: "Customers hail Elastic's support, its built-in security expertise, and its generative AI innovators, especially Attack Discovery and its use of retrieval augmented generation. Clients who want to work with an engineering-focused company that prioritizes an open and flexible approach and a cost-effective offering are best suited to Elastic."

·       Proven outcomes: Elastic Security has become the platform of choice for organizations like KPN, Booking.com, Infomatica and global Fortune 500 companies, reducing MTTR by up to 99%, replacing tool sprawl, and delivering full MITRE ATT&CK coverage at a lower total cost of ownership, all while achieving better visibility across environments and improved SOC performance without vendor lock-in.

Elastic believes this recognition affirms that it is delivering what modern security teams need: speed, visibility, and outcomes that scale.
