The short version

  • Each has a real cost: JMP the Internet Archive's capture of JMP's homepage on 13 January 2020 named five distinct editions, JMP, JMP Live, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, and JMP Genomics, each targeting a different analysis use case, with no price figure published for any.; Seldon production deployment requires a Kubernetes cluster, whether managed such as GKE, EKS or AKS, or on-premises such as OpenShift
  • They diverge on capability: JMP covers Interactive statistics, Seldon covers Model serving.

Where each one falls short

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

JMP

  • The Internet Archive's capture of JMP's homepage on 13 January 2020 named five distinct editions, JMP, JMP Live, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, and JMP Genomics, each targeting a different analysis use case, with no price figure published for any.

Seldon

  • Production deployment requires a Kubernetes cluster, whether managed such as GKE, EKS or AKS, or on-premises such as OpenShift
  • The documented components carry both minimum and maximum supported versions, so newer Kubernetes and dependency versions are not automatically supported
  • Dataflow Pipelines need an additional component that the docs recommend avoiding installing when pipelines are not used
  • The Docker Compose install is offered as a lightweight alternative for environments without Kubernetes rather than as a production path
