archestra vs ongrid
archestra: Archestra is a secure, MCP-native AI platform that simplifies enterprise AI adoption. It provides comprehensive tools for AI orchestration, security against prompt injections and data exfiltration, cost management, and observability across the organization.; ongrid: Ongrid is a self-hosted ops agent that correlates metrics, logs, traces and topology to find the root cause of incidents and can investigate alerts automatically. It works from Slack, Telegram, Larksuite, DingTalk or WeCom, reaches hosts through an outbound-only edge agent, and keeps risky actions behind approvals.

TL;DR
archestraObservability · ★ 4.4k
When to choose:
- You are a platform or security team that needs central control over how the company uses models and MCP servers.
- You want one platform covering an internal chat, an LLM gateway, an MCP gateway and registry, and an agent runtime.
- You need SSO, RBAC, sandboxed code execution, guardrails, per-user tool authorisation, OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.
When to skip:
- You are a small team that only needs a proxy: Kubernetes-oriented components make this a significant deployment.
- You need to avoid AGPL or commercial terms: the default code is AGPL-3.0 and parts marked Enterprise are under a commercial licence.
- You already run gateways or chat apps whose roles overlap; plan what it would replace.
