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

"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"MLS allows me to set up data experiments by running through various regression and other machine learning algorithms, with different data cleaning and treatment tools. All of this can be achieved via drag and drop, and a few clicks of the mouse."
"ML Studio is very easy to maintain."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"The graphical nature of the output makes it very easy to create PowerPoint reports as well."
"Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints."
"The drag-and-drop interface of Azure Machine Learning Studio has greatly improved my workflow."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is easy to use and deploy."
 

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."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
"There should be data access security, a role level security. Right now, they don't offer this."
"Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"One problem I experience is that switching between multiple accounts can be difficult. I don't think there are any major issues. Mostly, the biggest challenge is to identify business solutions to this. The tool should keep on updating new algorithms and not stay static."
"There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is not that expensive."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"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."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"The platform's price is low."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
