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.

Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"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."
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"I have seen measurable benefits from Google Cloud AI Platform."
"The platform's Google Vision API is particularly valuable."
"The feedback left about these tools was really helpful and informative for us"
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate."
"I find Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio advantageous because it allows integration with Titan Scratch and offers an easy-to-use drag-and-drop menu for developing machine learning models."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
"I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is its integration with Azure."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."

"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"The technical support from Google is not very fast. I think it is about a five out of ten even though they have courses online where I can learn a lot, if I really need support, I have to wait a very long time."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"The initial setup was straightforward for me but could be difficult for others."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Power BI within Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio."
"I cannot comment on specific improvements yet as we are still exploring and need more time to identify the areas that require enhancements."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"The AutoML feature is very basic and they should improve it by using a more robust algorithm."
