Elastic Recognized As A Leader In 2025 Cognitive Search Evaluation

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave™ Cognitive Search Platforms, Q4 2025 report, with Elasticsearch receiving the highest possible scores in eight criteria, including relevancy.
Elasticsearch is a widely deployed open-source document and vector database, offering developers a powerful search and analytics engine with the speed and scale needed for generative AI applications. Capable of handling structured, unstructured and vector data in real time, developers can perform cross-cluster searches to execute a single query across one or multiple remote clusters, with flexible deployment options both in the cloud and on-premises. Elasticsearch delivers fast hybrid and semantic search while powering AI applications with high performance, accuracy, and relevance.
“Elastic’s outstanding capabilities in enabling deep and comprehensive refinement of relevancy and results delivery let developers push their imaginations in terms of building search experiences,” Forrester principal analyst Rowan Curran wrote in the report. “With outstanding capabilities for scale and efficiency as well as a varied set of hosting options, Elastic is flexible both in its core technology and in its deployment options.”
“Search requires flexibility and scale to parse trillions of points of data quickly to deliver relevant answers at the speed of a query,” said Steve Kearns, general manager of Search at Elastic. “We believe the position of the Elasticsearch Platform as a Leader reflects the continual innovation being poured into the product to help organizations build generative AI and agentic applications on top of private enterprise data, leveraging world-class search and relevance.”
