Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You just have to write accurate prompts according to your requirements, and the solution gives very good results.""OpenAI integrates seamlessly with the broader Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and that provides synergies with the other solutions. This integration makes it much easier to build solutions.""My goal was to create an experience where project managers don't have to read through entire documents. Instead, they can ask a question and receive relevant point analysis. This analysis identifies the document and specific section where the information resides. Previously, users had to rely on these document references. Now, Azure OpenAI enhances the experience by providing the answer directly in the user's own language, relevant to their context.""The solution has a very drag-and-drop environment. Instead of coding something from scratch or understanding any concept in extensive depth before deployment, this is good. Plus, they have an auto dataset, which means you can choose any dataset they have instead of providing your own. So that's also pretty nice.""The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature.""The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow.""The most valuable feature is the ALM.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy."

"What made TensorFlow so appealing to us is that you could run it on a cluster computer and on a mobile device.""It provides us with 35 features like patch normalization layers, and it is easy to implement using the Kras library when the Kaspersky flow is running behind it.""The most valuable features are the frameworks and the functionality to work with different data, even when we have a certain quantity of data flowing.""Optimization is very good in TensorFlow. There are many opportunities to do hyper-parameter training.""It's got quite a big community, which is useful.""TensorFlow is a framework that makes it really easy to use for deep learning.""I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I am not a developer but more of an account manager. I can find what I want with TensorFlow. I haven’t contacted technical support for any issues. Since TensorFlow is vastly documented on the internet, I usually find some good websites where people exchange their views about the solution and apply that.""It is open-source, and it is being worked on all the time. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks. You can just use your local machine with the open-source TensorFlow and create pretty good models."

Cons
"Latency performance is a major part. And I'm seeking support for multiple models that handle text, images, videos, and voice. I'm from India, and I'm looking for more support in Indian languages. There are 18 official languages and many more unofficial. We need support for these languages, especially in voice moderation, which is not yet available.""Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues.""Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand.""I have found the tool unreliable in certain use cases. I aim to enhance the system's latency, particularly in responding to calls. Occasionally, calls don't respond, so I want to improve reliability.""The product must improve its dashboards.""One area for improvement is providing more flexibility in configuration and connectivity with external tools.""Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved.""I faced one issue with Azure OpenAI: My customer wanted more clarity on the pricing. They were not able to get proper answers from the documentation or the pricing calculator. I suggest that Microsoft maintain standardization in the pricing details published in the documentation and the pricing calculator."

More Azure OpenAI Cons →

"For newcomers to the field, the learning curve can be steep, often requiring about a year of dedicated effort.""There are connection issues that interrupt the download needed for the data sets. We need to prepare them ourselves.""However, if I want to change just one thing in the implementation of TensorFlow functions I have to copy everything that they wrote and I change it manually if indeed it can be amended. This is really hard as it's written in C++ and has a lot of complications.""I know this is out of the scope of TensorFlow, however, every time I've sent a request, I had to renew the model into RAM and they didn't make that prediction or inference. This makes the point for the request that much longer. If they could provide anything to help in this part, it will be very great.""There are a lot of problems, such as integrating our custom code. In my experience model tuning has been a bit difficult to edit and tune the graph model for best performance. We have to go into the model but we do not have a model viewer for quick access.""TensorFlow deep learning takes a lot of computation power. The more systems you can use, the easier it is. That's a good ability, if you can make a system run immediately at the same time on the same task, it's much faster rather than you having one system running which is slower. Running systems in parallel is a complex situation, but it can improve. There is a lot of work involved.""In terms of improvement, we always look for ways they can optimize the model, accelerate the speed and the accuracy, and how can we optimize with our different techniques. There are various techniques available in TensorFlow. Maintaining accuracy is an area they should work on.""It would be nice if the solution was in Hungarian. I would like more Hungarian NAT models."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost structure depends on the volume of data processed and the computational resources required."
  • "The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
  • "The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
  • "The cost is quite high and fixed."
  • "The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
  • "Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
  • "I'm uncertain about the licensing, specifically the pricing. This falls under the purview of other teams, particularly the sales teams. I am not informed about the pricing details."

  • "TensorFlow is free."
  • "I think for learners to deploy a project, you can actually use TensorFlow for free. It's just amazing to have an open-source platform like TensorFlow to deploy your own project. Here in Russia no one really cares about licenses, as it is totally open source and free. My clients in the United States were also pleased to learn when they enquired, that licensing is free."
  • "We are using the free version."
  • "It is open-source software. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks."
  • "I did not require a license for this solution. It a free open-source solution."
  • "I am using the open-source version of TensorFlow and it is free."
  • "I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "It is an open-source solution, so anyone can use it free of charge."
