A user-friendly platform that automatizes machine learning techniques with minimal effort
We work with clients who request the implementation of a certain document into a chatbot. Because of the limited knowledge of AI, our task is to link that file to the ML and provide a platform that can work as a customer service. We previously used LangChain Phython, but now it is done through Vertex AI.

Versatile, well-built, and powerful
The initial setup of the DGX server was quite straightforward. We treated it like any other server during deployment. It went to the data center, where they set it up, placed it in the rack, and enabled it. The deployment process was familiar, using our standard tools like Foreman and Ansible. Since the operating system is supported, we didn't encounter any specific challenges. For deploying the DGX server, we typically need two people for software tasks and sometimes vendor assistance for hardware setup. The process takes about four hours, with NVIDIA firmware updates taking the most time (around two hours), and the rest dedicated to OS and Ansible deployment. Maintaining the DGX server is pretty straightforward. We treat it like any other server, with around 10% downtime, while the rest of the cluster remains up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"We extensively utilize Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform for our machine learning workflows. Specifically, we leverage the IO branch for EDA data in Suresh Live Virtual, employing Forte IT for training machine learning models. The AI model registry in Vertex AI is crucial for cataloging and managing various versions of the models we develop. When it comes to deploying models, we rely on Google Cloud's AI Prediction service, seamlessly integrating it into our workflow for real-time predictions or streaming. For monitoring and tracking the outcomes of model development, we employ Vertex AI Monitoring, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance and results. This integrated approach within Vertex AI provides a unified platform for managing, deploying, and monitoring machine learning models efficiently."
"The most valuable thing about DGX Systems is their super-fast connection."
 

Cons

"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"I think the technical documentation is not readily available in the tool."
"Both major systems, Azure and Google, are not yet stabilized, especially their customer support."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"One thing that could be better in DGX Systems is their power consumption."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
"The price structure is very clear"
