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.

The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved. They should introduce some type of deep learning accelerator, like Jetson Xavier NX. There is a lacking in vehicle recognition — types of vehicles. Differentiating between cars, SUVs and different types of light, heavy, and medium trucks can be tricky. We have to train such models ourselves and then transfer them onto OpenVINO.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The drag-and-drop interface is good."
"I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
 

Cons

"The solution cannot connect to private block storage."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
"When you use different Microsoft tools, there are different pricing metrics. It doesn't make sense. The pricing metrics are quire difficult to understand and should be either clarified or simplified. It would help us sell the solution to customers."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"It has some disadvantages because when you're working with very complex models, neural networks if OpenVINO cannot convert them automatically and you have to do a custom layer and later add it to the model. It is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"The product is not that 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."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"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."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."
