Found Elasticsearch vs Managed Elasticsearch: What are the differences?

Developers describe Found Elasticsearch as "Hosted Elasticsearch". Create your own fully managed and hosted Elasticsearch cluster. You get a dedicated cluster with reserved memory, giving you predictable performance. There are no arbitrary limits on how many indexes or documents you can store. Scale your clusters as and when needed, without any downtime. On the other hand, Managed Elasticsearch is detailed as "A fully managed Elasticsearch solution". It is a fully managed Elasticsearch solution built on your environment, whether it is in the cloud or on-prem, providing enhanced security, reduced latency, and reduced costs compared to externally hosted Elasticsearch. We provide reliable, secure data ingestion and search, analysis, and visualization in real-time, while you retain full authority over your data.

Found Elasticsearch and Managed Elasticsearch can be categorized as "Search as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by Found Elasticsearch are:

• Hosted and managed: You get your own fully hosted and managed Elasticsearch cluster. No need to host and maintain your own costly search infrastructure.
• Reserved Memory and storage: Your clusters get reserved memory and storage. No shared clusters and no arbitrary limits on how many indexes or documents you can store.
• Scalable and flexible: Start small, grow big. You can scale your cluster as and when needed, without any downtime. There are several Elasticsearch versions to choose from, and upgrading is easier than ever.

On the other hand, Managed Elasticsearch provides the following key features:

• Routine Backups
• Support for ALL versions of Elasticsearch, including both Elasticsearch from Elastic and Open Distro for Elasticsearch from AWS
• High Availability and High Throughput
