Software companies are trying to add more AI features to their platforms, and it can be hard to keep up with it all. We’ve written this roundup to share updates from notable companies that have recently enhanced their products with AI.
Dynatrace introduces new AI-powered log analytics capabilities
Among the features the company is adding is its AI-enhanced Davis AI engine, which provides instant explanations of log content and, the company says, can make complex analytics tasks more accessible to teams by using a natural language interface to create queries, dashboards and generate reports. This, Dynatrace said, “empowers more users to access and analyze log data without extensive training.”
There is also a new OpenPipeline Technology to allow teams to gain the context they need to faster and better understand the data being generated, and analyze it more effectively. And, a simplified pricing model eliminates manual query monitoring for cost control while enabling organizations to get a better handle on annual costs, so they can scale log management more efficiently.
“Organizations today face the challenge of managing a multitude of monitoring tools, resulting in fragmented and often conflicting insights across their critical infrastructure and applications” said Mala Pillutla, vice president of log management at Dynatrace. “By providing integrated log management with in-context analytics, we enable our customers to transform data into actionable insights that help build resilience and reliability of their most critical digital assets.”
F5 introduces its Application Delivery and Security Platform for the AI era

Acceldata Launches Agentic Data Management Platform
The platform, which is in private beta, aims to meet the challenges of data management with AI by using the agents to learn from data patterns and optimize analytics workloads in real time, transforming data management into a proactive process. The company’s data processing xLake Reasoning Engine is at the core of Agentic DM and runs in hyperscalers, data clouds and on-premises. It can understand the nuances of managing data within a business context, the company said.
An Agent Studio enables organizations to build and deploy their own agents with the Agentic DM platform, using an API to “orchestrate workflows using multiple agents [so] organizations can create tailored automation for their unique data management needs,” the company wrote in the announcement.
Acceldata also announced Autonomous 25, an event that the company said will bring together data leaders, industry pioneers, and AI innovators to explore strategies and best practices for the AI-driven future.
