I am unsure if this is the right platform to ask this, but here it goes -

I am trying to find out what are the differences between Elastic Agent and Fluentd/Fluentbit, I am trying to find out also if it worth the change. This is because from what I've read, it seems like both Elastic Agent & Fluentd/Fluentbit could achieve the same thing. Any help to clear my doubt would be greatly appreciated.
