Huh? Neither Splunk nor Hortonworks are profitable.
- volaski 11y agoI guess i should have been clear. I meant "making money" as in having a business model. Being profitable and having a business model are two different things. We can ask Amazon
- adventured 11y agoOk, so let's ask Amazon: they are both profitable and have a business model (further, for years running now, they've been able to demonstrate profitability whenever they feel like it to satisfy Wall Street worries). Their retail business has always had low margins, no different than Walmart by comparison.
