Elastic is Recognized for the First Time in Gartner’s 2021 Evaluation of APM Vendors

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) (“Elastic”), the company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, today announced it has been recognized for the first time as a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring1. Download the complimentary report here.

Gartner reports that “APM tools have become powerful analytics platforms that ingest, analyze and build context from traces, metrics and logs. Infrastructure and operations leaders choosing APM software must weigh these functions against core APM capabilities and the automation being provided by new and existing vendors.1

Elastic Observability provides an application performance monitoring (APM) solution built on the Elastic Stack. It affords organizations unbounded flexibility in architecting the perfect observability solution for their needs at any scale. Kroger, Audi, Etsy, Citigroup, and thousands of other organizations — from small startups to Fortune 50 enterprises — use Elastic as their centralized log monitoring platform.

Elastic believes that its observability solution provides customers a proven, free and open alternative to legacy APM products with the following differentiating features:

  • Built on an open, flexible, and extensible platform, Elastic Observability provides customers with a flexible monitoring solution that can deliver on their unique, evolving needs without being blocked by the vendor’s roadmap.
  • Flexible deployment models help organizations bring visibility to their hybrid and multi-cloud environments while keeping their workloads closer to their monitoring solution.
  • Unified resource-based pricing disrupts traditional complex pricing models to allow greater cost control and predictability, without sacrificing visibility goals.
  • A powerful, free and open distribution tier allows users to quickly adopt, validate, and scale without risk.

Elastic’s reviews on Gartner Peer Insights indicate that Elastic APM customers rate the company’s products highly, with an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 in the APM market based on 43 reviews, as of April 13, 2021.
