Featured Reviews

Anurag Mayank - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly efficient solution that delivers the desired results to its users
I had not considered how the solution could be improved because I was focused on how it was helping me to solve my issues. If I consider how we want to use it in our organization, certain areas of improvement can be addressed. For instance, we want to use it with Generative AI, not like ChatGPT, but in a way intended for industrial use. It would be beneficial to incorporate more AI into the solution.
Abilio Duarte - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly robust and well-documented platform that simplifies the complex world of AI
The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use. Providing training sessions can be immensely helpful in helping users navigate and understand the tool's potential. This approach would empower users to explore and make the most of the tools and technologies at their disposal. Another area where IBM could enhance its offering is by providing more visibility to end users regarding the vast potential that Watson offers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of the solution's the cost and human labor savings."
"We can enable and change developer productivity with artificial intelligence-recommended code based on natural language input or exciting source code."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution ten out of ten."
"I was particularly interested in trying the AutoML feature to see how it handles data and proposes new models. The variety of models it provides is impressive."
"It is has a lot of good features and we find the image classification very useful."
"It has improved self-service and customer satisfaction."
"The solution is very valuable to our organization due to the fact that we can work on it as a workflow."

"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements."
"It is a very stable and reliable solution."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"They should add more GPU processing power to improve performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data."
"Honestly, I haven't seen any comparative report that has run the same data through two different artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities to get something out of it. I would love to see that."
"Sometimes training the model is difficult."
"The supporting language is limited."
"Scaling is limited in some use cases. They need to make it easier to expand in all aspects."
"If I consider how we want to use it in our organization, certain areas of improvement can be addressed. For instance, we want to use it with Generative AI, not like ChatGPT, but in a way intended for industrial use."
"In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"The initial setup was complex."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
"Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is good."
"I've only been using the free tier, but it's quite competitive on a service basis."
"Watson Studio's pricing is reasonable for what you get."
"IBM Watson Studio is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is generally reasonable and straightforward but can vary significantly depending on the specific workloads in use."
"IBM Watson Studio is a reasonably priced product"
