Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Requires minimal maintenance, is scalable, and stable
The initial setup depends on the developer's knowledge of machine learning models as to whether it is easy or difficult. With a good understanding of these models, then we can get to work quickly in the environment. With 20 years of experience in IT, making applications on legacy platforms and non-web platforms, I have found that Azure has a very good implementation. The platform is so comprehensive that it doesn't matter what kind of work we do, we can find the tools needed to get the job done. In comparison to what I was doing five years ago, Azure is a great platform and I really enjoy working with it. We should allocate up to 12 percent of our project time to deployment. Depending on the complexity of the solution, we should expect to spend more time on deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is integrated with our Microsoft Azure tenant, and we don't have to go anywhere else outside the tenant."
"The platform as a service provides user-friendly instruments, making the experience easy."
"Their web interface is good."
"Azure Machine Learning Studio provides a platform to integrate with large language models."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is easy to use and deploy."
"The solution facilitates our production."
"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."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve in providing more efficient and cost-effective access to its tools for companies like mine."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"The interface is a bit overloaded."
"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."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"A problem that I encountered was that I had to pay for the model that I wanted to deploy and use on Azure Machine Learning, but there wasn't any option that that model can be used in the designer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
