An AI platform AI Platform to train your machine learning models at scale, to host your trained model in the cloud, and to use your model to make predictions about new data
I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite.
Klaus Lozie - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good integration and used for data labeling
Lately, we have had some issues with the solution regarding labeling jobs. We can create a label job, but we still have to use the Azure Machine Learning REST APIs, which are not yet supported in the Python SDK version 2. Microsoft has a lot of documentation, but you can do it using the CLI, UI, or Python SDK version 2. You can have 100 ways of working, while I would like to have one way of working. It's very difficult to know what is best, according to Microsoft.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate."
"The platform's Google Vision API is particularly valuable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational solution really quick."
"Since the model could be trained in just a couple of hours and deploying it took only a few minutes, the entire process took less than an hour."
"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"On GCP, we are exposing our API services to our clients so that they send us their information. It can be single individual records or it can be a batch of their clients."
"The solution facilitates our production."
"Azure Machine Learning Studio's most valuable features are the package from Azure AutoML. It is quite powerful compared to the building of ML in Databricks or other AutoMLs from other companies, such as Google and Amazon."
"Their web interface is good."
"Visualisation, and the possibility of sharing functions are key features."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The interface is very intuitive."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by simplifying the process to make your own models."
"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"Customizations are very difficult, and they take time."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual. Then, we came up with a truth set and developed different machine learning models with the help of that truth set, so now it's completely machine learning."
"One thing that I found is that Azure ML does not directly provide you with features on Google Cloud AI Platform, whereas Vertex provides some features of the platform."
"I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"The initial setup was straightforward for me but could be difficult for others."
"I have found Databricks is a better solution because it has a lot of different cluster choices and better integration with MLflow, which is much easier to handle in a machine learning system."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"Stability-wise, you may face certain problems when you fail to refresh the data in the solution."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"One area where Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve is its user interface structure."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is competitive."
"The solution has an attractive starting program, which costs only 300 USD for a duration of three months. During this period, one can accomplish a lot of work on the solution."
"The licenses are cheap."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"For every thousand uses, it is about four and a half euros."
"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"The product is not that expensive."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"The solution cost is high."
"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."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
