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."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Machine Learning Studio for me is its convenience. I can quickly start using it without setting up the environment or buying a lot of devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
"The visualizations are great. It makes it very easy to understand which model is working and why."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"One of the notable advantages is that it offers both a visual designer, which is user-friendly, and an advanced coding option."
 

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 solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"Performance is very poor."
"In terms of data capabilities, if we compare it to Google Cloud's BigQuery, we find a difference. When fetching data from web traffic, Google can do a lot of processing with small queries or functions."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve in providing more efficient and cost-effective access to its tools for companies like mine."
"One area where Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve is its user interface structure."
