Created a chatbot powered by OpenAI to answer HR, travel, and expense-related questions
We have created our own platform called CanvasAI. It provides machine-learning plumbing and integration with your services. So, we've integrated Azure OpenAI through Canvas. We're also looking at some hard interface modeling from AWS as well. We access Azure OpenAI solutions for our business workflow via the platform, not directly from the service provider. There are security considerations we're working through with the security team, etc. Canvas provides the control plane, which handles RBAC for user registration and model management. For internal processes, we're using OpenAI to create partner call reports, like summarizing quarterly zip code data and other financial models. We also use it for legal and contract stuff, like comparing SOWs and contracts. For user experience, we've created a chatbot powered by OpenAI to answer HR, travel, and expense-related questions.

Highly automated solution allowing data scientists to build models easily
Based on your similar requirements, V10.0 has very cool features related to AI Generation. I would suggest the team, too. This is very good for data scientists or people who don't want to code. Even the documentation is well-maintained in terms of its capabilities. It's easy to navigate. The support documents are good. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily navigate. If you're an IT engineer, you can efficiently perform operations using it. We have deployed eight to nine use cases on DataRobot and have seen a tremendous response in accuracy and performance. We are pleased because we conducted a comparison. We took a model we built using a sample Python on a local machine and applied the same data and process using DataRobot Autopilot. The results were pretty amazing, with promising accuracy and recall. The accessibility is so easy. Even a college graduate with essential experience can use it. Suppose I do the same model in Databricks and want to monitor my MLOps pipeline. So, I need to use a third-party framework again, like MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, or whatever. I need to build my dashboards and everything, customization dashboards. However, everything is available in DataRobot. I can use it directly. They have a new option called DataRobot apps. So, on the predictions, we can even create customized apps. I can build my dashboard, and I can develop my applications. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"The product saves a lot of time."
"OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy."
"The most crucial aspect is the conversational capability, where you can simply ask questions, and it provides answers based on your content and documents, particularly tailored to your specific environment."
"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services."
"It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."
 

Cons

"The fine-tuning of models with the use of Azure OpenAI is an area with certain shortcomings currently, and it can be considered for improvement in the future."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"One major drawback of Azure OpenAI is its availability, as it's not consistently accessible for effective use."
"Sometimes, it gives answers in English, even when the request is in Polish."
"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."
"Sometimes, the responses are repetitive."
"Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand."
"In the next release, they could enhance the product's features for even greater usability and efficiency."
"There are some performance issues."
"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing and licensing, it's a bit complex due to the minimum purchase requirement for PTO units. We're evaluating the best approach between PTE and pay-as-you-go models. Our organization is cautious about committing to PTE due to the fixed bandwidth reservation, while pay-as-you-go doesn't offer enough flexibility. We're discussing these matters with legal teams to ensure compliance and data security."
"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The licensing is interaction-based, meaning transactional. It's reasonably priced for now."
"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
"Azure OpenAI is a bit more expensive than other services."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten."
"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."
