Hey Maarius, thanks for chiming in! I've had my eye on Cluvio for a while so I was gonna drop it in here to ask how the two compare.
For me, an open source core is a huge gesture of trust though. It's the ultimate "no lock-in strategy" guarantee. This business model has been proven sustainable by several SAAS companies, such as Automattic (WordPress.com), Discourse (which I work for), Sentry, Piwik and hopefully Redash well!
Any chance Cluvio will consider going down this path too?
