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

"Its versatility makes it incredibly useful for technical problem-solving, content creation, data analytics, and more."
"The solution has a very drag-and-drop environment. Instead of coding something from scratch or understanding any concept in extensive depth before deployment, this is good. Plus, they have an auto dataset, which means you can choose any dataset they have instead of providing your own. So that's also pretty nice."
"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services."
"Azure OpenAI is used as chat services, allowing me to replace human tasks with analytical capabilities."
"The most valuable features include analyzing comments and preparing requests for customers, making emails easier and faster."
"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 document intelligence feature has significantly aided in our operations, facilitating the creation of descriptive content."
"Its ability to understand and respond well to queries, including language translation for clients, is beneficial."
"Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in their support services."
"One area for improvement is providing more flexibility in configuration and connectivity with external tools."
"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."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"Azure needs to work on its own model development and improve the integration of voice-to-text services, particularly for right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Urdu. The accuracy in these languages requires improvement."
"We encountered challenges related to question understanding."
"Sometimes, it gives answers in English, even when the request is in Polish."
"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

"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"We started with monthly payments, but we plan to switch to yearly billing once we've stabilized our solution."
"Azure OpenAI is a bit more expensive than other services."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"The licensing is interaction-based, meaning transactional. It's reasonably priced for now."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"While the product meets our business requirements well, I consider it relatively expensive, especially for individual users like myself."
"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
