Could you expand on the features that Open Distro misses and that Elastic offers?

You can see the OSS and Free offerings at https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions. Real question is what are the Open Distro is offering:

* Alerting - you can use ElasticAlert

* Security - Search Guard

* SQL - https://github.com/NLPchina/elasticsearch-sql

There very little reason (IMO) for users to a choose "Open Distro" except that it comes as an AWS image.

Maybe a real reason is that it's precisely a distro which means it contains features and reasonable defaults so that users don't need to learn about them, install them, and configure them.

Basically same debate as between Linux From Scratch and a full-featured distro such as Ubuntu.
