Other data science & data engineering enterprise solutions are good but they can be expensive and we have found that many groups only use the open source functionality within these solutions. Cloud provider solutions such as AWS EMR, Azure HDInsight, and Google Dataproc provide a nice open source service, are typically less expensive, but if you leave them on the price drop from the enterprise solutions may not be significant and these cloud provider solutions were not initially built to be a full time collaborative environment.
The above is not a criticism of the available solutions, as we have used many and are fans of some, but our experience is that many data science user groups would be better served with a solution that has all the data mining power of the above solutions, is easy to use, available full time, and at a price aligned to their needs. Over the years Optumine has built such a solution to use internally, and for use in client engagements, so we packaged it together as Galadrome.
