Integration with automation tools enhances customer sentiment analysis
Comprehend is a useful service for sentiment analysis as it analyzes customer transcripts to evaluate interactions between customers and agents. It provides scores indicating whether sentiments are positive, negative, or neutral. The integration with AWS services like DynamoDB and Lambda facilitates automated analysis, contributing to more informed assessments of customer interactions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is its integration with Azure."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers a hands-on experience with lots of flexibility."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"Scalability, in terms of running experiments concurrently is good. At max, I was able to run three different experiments concurrently."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"It is very easy to test different kinds of machine-learning algorithms with different parameters. You choose the algorithm, drag and drop to the workspace, and plug the dataset into this component."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of accuracy. For example, when a sentence expresses a negative sentiment, such as 'I want to cancel my credit card,' it is crucial for the system to accurately identify it as negative."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio was rigorous for someone new like me, but mastering it made things simpler."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
"The pricing policy should be improved. I find the pricing to be not a good story in this case, as it is not affordable for everyone."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
"To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
