The 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms is here

Observability has an investigation problem, and dashboards and alerts aren’t enough for solving challenges in today’s complex systems.

So what's out there to help solve this problem?

AI-driven capabilities, powerful analytics, and the ability to scale are essential to drive real-time investigations while keeping costs low. This is why Elastic has been named a Leader for the second time.

Elastic Observability helps its customers monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise their entire ecosystem from infrastructure and application performance to end-user experience, all powered by the Search AI Platform. 

Translating tool value into tangible business benefits

We think Elastic’s placement as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant reflects its continued investment in open standards, AI-driven innovation, breadth of capabilities, and deployment flexibility.

Here's 5 tangible benefits Elastic provides:

1) OpenTelemetry-native support: Elastic integrates natively with OpenTelemetry, allowing organisations to standardise on open source instrumentation without custom connectors.

2) AI-driven assistance: Elastic’s built-in AI Assistant leverages retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and context-aware relevance to help teams triage incidents and troubleshoot using natural language and institutional knowledge, accelerating root cause analysis across logs, metrics, and traces.

3) Zero-config AIOps: Elastic’s out-of-the-box machine learning capabilities automatically detect anomalies, forecast trends, and uncover patterns across logs, metrics, and traces.

4) Advanced analytics: Elastic’s new query language (ES|QL) enables intuitive, step-by-step complex investigations by allowing advanced and faster queries across observability data.

5) Optimised cost, scale, and performance: Elastic's Search AI Lake supports petabytes of structured and unstructured data, enabling cost-efficient, high performance data storage without retention compromises.
