"Our number one reason for choosing Qubole was we wanted to take advantage of cloud economics: only pay for what you use. Qubole’s autoscaling and downscaling is definitely a huge cost saver, and the ability to isolate workloads to separate clusters is key to efficient operations."

"Qubole offers a big data ETL and exploration service through auto-scaling Hadoop clusters with a web user interface for data exploration and integration with various data sources. The service can do (nearly) everything EMR can do, and it goes further."
