Amount of storage included is the total amount of data plus created workbooks, explorations and dashboards that can be stored in your instance of Watson Analytics.
The freemium and personal editions are for individual users. The professional edition introduces a multi-user environment where users can interact within the product, for example sharing refined data sets, sharing insights and visualizations, and commenting on boards.
The personal edition allows for access to ONE source of data on the cloud, the professional edition allows for access to TWO sources of data on the cloud. These would include examples like Box, Dropbox, MS OneDrive, etc.
Personal and professional have the ability to add more storage.
Professional will eventually include connectors to Cognos and TM1. (PLANNED FOR Q2)
Current prices are USD $30/month/user for the personal and $80/month/user for the professional. Multi-user and collaboration occur within the same tenant.
