Offers tools to moderate generated content and guidance to safely design applications, but it is not consistently accessible
Instead of a feature, the GPT-4 model has been most beneficial for automating tasks. We transitioned from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 and actively use it. However, we face limitations due to geographic availability, subscription constraints, and rate limiting, which we are currently negotiating and working towards optimizing. While we haven't formally benchmarked Azure OpenAI's language understanding against industry standards, we find it performs well about 70-80% of the time. Occasionally, we need to refine our queries and adapt our systems accordingly to improve accuracy and effectiveness.

Easy to use and good for disaster recovery planning
I use the tool for real-time data synchronization. Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning. The use cases attached to Replicate are very direct. I have used other products in the past, but they are not as efficient as Replicate. I feel Replicate is easier to use than other tools. Replicate has impacted our company's data integration processes by twenty to thirty percent. Overall, the product is easy to use. The product was also easy to configure. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it for real-time data integration. The product has been integrated into our company's existing infrastructure. I haven't done the integrations but I know that it was performed by someone else. I rate the tool an eight and a half 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 is used as chat services, allowing me to replace human tasks with analytical capabilities."
"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."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow."
"I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning."
 

Cons

"There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required."
"In the next release, they could enhance the product's features for even greater usability and efficiency."
"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."
"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."
"I noticed there are no instructional videos or guides on the network portal for initial configurations. There is limited information available, and this is a concern for me. I would like to see more resources and guides to address these issues."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"Maybe with the next release, the response will be more precise and more human-like."
"The UI could be a little easier."
"I feel that the marketing activities of the product are an area of concern...Replicate is a very beneficial tool that should be marketed well enough in a good way."
 

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."
"The licensing is interaction-based, meaning transactional. It's reasonably priced for now."
"While the product meets our business requirements well, I consider it relatively expensive, especially for individual users like myself."
"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."
"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
