Does Datalore Support On-Premises Deployment and SSO?
Updated
Yes. JetBrains Datalore offers an On-Premises option, and that edition supports connecting enterprise identity providers including Okta, SAML, and AzureAD. This matters if your team needs to keep notebooks and data inside your own infrastructure, or if your organization requires centralized identity management rather than individual accounts.
What the On-Premises option covers
Datalore is described as a collaborative data science platform. The standard product is accessed through a login page, where you can sign in with Google or a JetBrains Account, or create an account if you don't have one yet.
The On-Premises edition is the path for teams that want to run Datalore in their own environment. According to the site, you can "Try Datalore On-Premises to connect Okta, SAML, AzureAD, etc." — so SSO integration is presented as a reason to choose the On-Premises edition, not a feature of the hosted login flow.
SSO and identity providers
| Requirement | Supported path |
|---|---|
| Google sign-in | Standard login page |
| JetBrains Account | Standard login page |
| Okta | Datalore On-Premises |
| SAML | Datalore On-Premises |
| AzureAD | Datalore On-Premises |
| Other enterprise IdPs | Datalore On-Premises ("etc.") |
The practical takeaway: if your team already uses Okta, SAML, or AzureAD for authentication, the On-Premises edition is the one to evaluate. The hosted login page does not list these providers.
Who should consider it
- Teams with data residency or network restrictions that can't send notebooks to a hosted service.
- Organizations with a central IdP that want users to authenticate through existing company credentials.
- Teams standardizing on JetBrains tooling that also want SSO and self-hosting in one platform.
If none of those apply — for example, a small team comfortable signing in with Google or a JetBrains Account — the standard hosted login is likely sufficient.
What to check before deciding
The public page confirms that On-Premises exists and that it connects Okta, SAML, and AzureAD, but it does not spell out deployment architecture, supported versions, or the full list of IdPs. Before committing:
- Confirm your IdP is covered. The page says "etc.," so verify your specific provider rather than assuming.
- Review deployment requirements. Check the official documentation for infrastructure and version details.
- Check pricing and licensing. Datalore has a pricing page, but the public material here doesn't state On-Premises terms — treat cost and contract details as something to confirm directly.
- Contact support or sales for integration specifics that aren't documented publicly.
Getting help
The site points to several support channels: Support, Documentation, a Community forum, and a Blog. For On-Premises deployment and SSO integration questions, documentation and support are the right starting points, since those details go beyond what the public landing page covers.
