| Deployment | Elastic lists Serverless, Hosted, and self-managed deployment options for Observability; Serverless is fully managed, while self-managed deployments can run on customer infrastructure. | The maker documents running Riemann in Docker and provides a prepackaged riemannio/riemann image. |
| Integrations | Elastic says its Serverless offering includes over 350 integrations, and its infrastructure monitoring overview lists more than 400 out-of-the-box integrations. | The maker lists forwarding events to Graphite and a built-in Librato Metrics integration. |
| Purpose | Elastic Observability unifies application and infrastructure monitoring by bringing logs, metrics, application traces, user experience data, and other telemetry together for analysis. | Riemann aggregates events from servers and applications and processes them with a stream processing language. |
| Support | For Serverless, limited support is included with a Standard subscription; the listed Gold, Platinum, and Enterprise support charges are 5%, 10%, and 15% of consumption. | The maker directs users to IRC, a mailing list, or GitHub Issues for help and describes Riemann as a volunteer effort. |
