Company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Search AI Platform, offering search, observability, and security solutions, including SIEM built on the Elastic Stack.
Elastic is the company behind Elasticsearch, the distributed search and analytics engine, and the broader Elastic Search AI Platform. Founded in 2012 by Shay Banon, the creator of Elasticsearch, Elastic operates as a distributed company that works across several locations rather than from a single central headquarters.
Elastic sells three solution areas built on the same stack: Search, Observability, and Security. Elastic Security provides SIEM, security analytics, and threat detection and response, using the search and analytics core of Elasticsearch together with Kibana for investigation and visualization. Elastic states that over 50% of the Fortune 500 rely on its technology.
Ashutosh Kulkarni serves as CEO, and founder Shay Banon serves as CTO. Elastic is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ESTC.
MSPs and internal IT teams use Elastic for Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Security (SIEM).
Best for: security teams that need log management, threat detection, and vulnerability visibility.
Elastic pricing depends on your organization's size, the modules you enable, and your contract term. Tools in this category are usually licensed by subscription, billed by data volume or per asset, and scale with the users, endpoints, or sites you cover.
Public rate cards are not always available, and many vendors set final pricing through a quote or their MSP and reseller channel. To get an accurate Elastic price for your environment, request a quote from Elastic directly, or ask a managed IT provider that supports Elastic to bundle licensing, deployment, and management into one predictable monthly cost.
