| Deployment | MISP can run on-premises, in the cloud or as a SaaS deployment. | The maker documents running Riemann in Docker and provides a prepackaged riemannio/riemann image. |
| Intended users | The project says MISP is designed for incident analysts, security and ICT professionals, and malware reversers. | The site describes Riemann as intended for operations staff managing large, dynamic infrastructure and engineers investigating production errors and performance bottlenecks. |
| Purpose | MISP is an open source platform for collecting, storing, distributing, and sharing cybersecurity indicators and threat information for incident and malware analysis. | Riemann aggregates events from servers and applications and processes them with a stream processing language. |
| Security | MISP supports signing and encrypting notifications with GnuPG or S/MIME, and signing and validating shared information. | Riemann supports bidirectional TLS authentication for TCP connections, and its documentation also describes using a VPN or SSH tunnel. |
| Support | Core issues are tracked on GitHub and community support is available through MISP Gitter channels. | The maker directs users to IRC, a mailing list, or GitHub Issues for help and describes Riemann as a volunteer effort. |

In their own words
MISP
MISP is an open source platform for collecting, storing, distributing, and sharing cybersecurity indicators and threat information for incident and malware analysis. It is designed for incident analysts, security and ICT professionals, and malware reversers. Analysts can correlate information using fuzzy hashes and CIDR overlaps, then add comments, sightings, opinions, proposals, or counter-analysis. Distribution levels and custom sharing groups control access down to individual attributes, and instances can synchronize intelligence in real time. MISP supports signing and encrypting notifications with GnuPG or S/MIME, as well as signing and validating shared information. Automation options include an OpenAPI-described REST API, PyMISP, Python enrichment modules, and ZMQ or Kafka streaming. Import and export formats include STIX 1 and 2, OpenIOC, CSV, Suricata, Snort, and Zeek. MISP can run on-premise, in the cloud, or as SaaS, and the project recommends Ubuntu 24.04 or misp-docker for deployment. The software costs nothing under AGPL. Paid yearly support, sustainability support, and training options are also listed.
