Compare 36 Grafana implementation partners delivering Grafana Cloud rollouts, self-managed Grafana Enterprise, Loki for logs, Mimir for metrics, Tempo for traces, Pyroscope for continuous profiling, and OpenTelemetry collector pipelines feeding the stack. Listings cover Grafana Labs Premier partners, OpenTelemetry specialists, Kubernetes-native observability boutiques, and large SIs running managed Grafana practices for buyers consolidating off Datadog, Splunk, or New Relic for cost reasons. The Grafana stack remains the default open-source observability choice but demands real engineering investment to operate at scale - this is not a managed-SaaS substitute. Use this directory to shortlist Grafana partners by tier, signal focus, and region. No partner pays for placement on this directory.
Grafana stack engagements typically split into four workstreams. OpenTelemetry pipeline design, where the partner stands up OTel Collector deployments (agent, gateway, or both) to standardise metrics, logs, and traces from applications before forwarding to Mimir, Loki, and Tempo. Stack deployment, where the partner installs and tunes the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir, plus Pyroscope) either on Grafana Cloud or self-managed Kubernetes, sizing the storage tiers and cardinality budgets for the workload. Dashboard and alerting standardisation, where teams adopt the partner's library of RED/USE method dashboards, golden-signal alerts, and SLO frameworks. Migration off SaaS observability, where buyers move from Datadog, New Relic, or Splunk for cost reasons.
Three procurement archetypes recur. Boutique Kubernetes-native partners (Container Solutions, The Scale Factory, Trilogi, Polar Point) lead on greenfield OTel and self-managed LGTM deployments where engineering ownership stays in-house and the partner runs a 3-6 month enablement engagement. India-heritage SIs (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech) lead on managed Grafana operations across large estates, typically priced as a multi-year SRE retainer. Premier global SIs (Accenture, Capgemini, Contino, Kainos) lead where Grafana sits inside a wider digital, cloud-migration, or public-sector observability programme. Friction point: open-source Grafana stack operations are not cheaper than Datadog past a certain scale once engineering FTEs, storage costs, and on-call burden are counted. Many migrations miss steady-state savings by year two; buyers should model 3-year total cost including ops headcount, not licence delta alone.
