The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dataiku visual recipes are stored as Dataiku's own configuration and do not export as runnable SQL or Python, so a Flow with hundreds of visual steps has to be rebuilt from scratch if the organisation ever leaves, and that cost rises with every project added.; EZOfficeInventory pricing base example of 300 tracked items, scales upward for higher counts
  • They diverge on capability: Dataiku covers Visual Flow, EZOfficeInventory covers Asset tracking.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dataiku

  • Visual recipes are stored as Dataiku's own configuration and do not export as runnable SQL or Python, so a Flow with hundreds of visual steps has to be rebuilt from scratch if the organisation ever leaves, and that cost rises with every project added.
  • Production requires separate automation and API nodes, each installed and licensed, so the figure quoted for building models is not the figure for running them.
  • Licensing is per user across tiers, and the lower tiers are constrained enough that occasional contributors frequently end up needing a full seat, which makes a wide rollout cost more than the initial estimate suggested.
  • A self-hosted installation needs a dedicated administrator for upgrades, connection management, permissions and node topology, so the licence is a fraction of the real cost of ownership.
  • Computation pushes down to the warehouse or Spark cluster where it is billed by that provider, so a platform sold on making analysts self-sufficient can generate a large warehouse bill that nobody attributes back to it.

EZOfficeInventory

  • Pricing base example of 300 tracked items, scales upward for higher counts
  • CMMS features priced separately by admin user
  • Enterprise requires custom quote

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dataiku: Is there a free version?

There is a free edition with limits on users and features, adequate for evaluation and personal work. Anything a team runs in production is a negotiated commercial agreement.

EZOfficeInventory: What are the EZO Inventory plans and pricing?

EZO offers Essential ($63.55/month for 5,000 units), Advanced ($85.51/month for 15,000 units), Premium ($100.88/month for 30,000 units), and Enterprise (custom pricing for unlimited units). Pricing is based on tracked item count with example of 300 items.

Source
Dataiku: Do I have to write code to use it?

No. That is the premise. An analyst can build a complete pipeline through visual recipes, and a data scientist can write Python next to it in the same Flow.

EZOfficeInventory: Does EZO Inventory include a free trial?

All Essential, Advanced, and Premium plans include a free 15-day trial with no credit card required upfront.

Source
Dataiku: Where does the computation actually run?

Wherever you connect it. Transformations are pushed down into the warehouse, database or Spark cluster where the data lives, which is efficient and also means the compute cost appears on that provider's bill rather than Dataiku's.

EZOfficeInventory: Do all EZO plans include unlimited users?

All plans include unlimited users under a fair usage policy, with no per-seat charges for standard roles. CMMS features are priced separately by admin user for Advanced and higher tiers.

Source
Dataiku: Can I export my work if we leave?

Code recipes are your code and leave with you. Visual recipes do not export as equivalent code, so the visual portion of a Flow has to be reimplemented, and that portion tends to be the majority in the projects where the platform succeeded best.

EZOfficeInventory: What is the difference between EZO Premium and Enterprise tiers?

Premium tier ($100.88/month) supports up to 30,000 stock units and includes AI-powered features, automations, and optional CMMS add-on. Enterprise tier (custom pricing) supports unlimited units, includes offline mode, dispatch, telematics, private cloud, and dedicated account manager.

Source
Dataiku: Self-hosted or cloud?

Both are offered. Self-hosting gives control over data residency and networking and requires an administrator; the managed cloud removes that work and moves the constraint to what the vendor's environment supports.
