Featured Reviews

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.

A robust tools for model visualization and debugging with superior scalability and stability, and an intuitive user-friendly interface
The one feature we find most valuable at our company is its robust and flexible machine-learning capabilities. It empowers us to seamlessly create and deploy machine learning models, offering a versatile solution for implementing sophisticated environments and various types of AI solutions. The ability to develop and fine-tune models, such as risk assessment for detection and market protection, as well as the creation of recommendation systems, is paramount. This versatility extends to providing personalized identity-relevant applications for our enterprise clients, delivering valuable insights to the market. Its exceptional support for deep learning and its efficient resource utilization enable us to undertake complex financial and data analyses. The flexibility it provides is crucial for meeting industrial requirements and crafting solutions tailored to our client's specific needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
"The solution is very easy to use, so far as our data scientists are concerned."
"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."
"I've developed a couple of chatbots using Azure OpenAI, leveraging its documented solutions and APIs. The tools available make it straightforward to implement machine learning solutions. However, there are challenges, such as hallucinations and security issues, but overall, it works well and is quite fast, allowing for the development of interesting projects."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"Their web interface is good."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
"The solution is integrated with our Microsoft Azure tenant, and we don't have to go anywhere else outside the tenant."
"It provides us with 35 features like patch normalization layers, and it is easy to implement using the Kras library when the Kaspersky flow is running behind it."
"TensorFlow is an efficient product for building neural networks."
"It's got quite a big community, which is useful."
"TensorFlow provides Insights into both data and machine learning strategies."
"TensorFlow improves my organization because our clients get a lot of investment from their investors and we are progressively improving the products. Every six months we release new features."
"Optimization is very good in TensorFlow. There are many opportunities to do hyper-parameter training."
"The available documentation is extensive and helpful."
"It is open-source, and it is being worked on all the time. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks. You can just use your local machine with the open-source TensorFlow and create pretty good models."
 

Cons

"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"The price could be improved."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
"While ML Studio does give you the ability to run a lot of transformations, it struggles when the transformations are a bit more complex, when your entire process is transformation-heavy."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"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."
"Improvement in integration is crucial, and it'll be interesting to see how it develops, especially with SAP's move towards cloud-based solutions like SAP Rise and its collaboration with hyper scalers like AWS. Integrating SAP with hyperscaler machine learning solutions could simplify operations, although SAP's environment is complex. SAP has initiated deals with AWS for this purpose, but I'm not as familiar with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio's involvement."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"Personally, I find it to be a bit too much AI-oriented."
"JavaScript is a different thing and all the websites and web apps and all the mobile apps are built-in JavaScript. JavaScript is the core of that. However, TensorFlow is like a machine learning item. What can be improved with TensorFlow is how it can mix in how the JavaScript developers can use TensorFlow."
"It would be nice if the solution was in Hungarian. I would like more Hungarian NAT models."
"There are connection issues that interrupt the download needed for the data sets. We need to prepare them ourselves."
"We encountered version mismatch errors while using the product."
"There are a lot of problems, such as integrating our custom code. In my experience model tuning has been a bit difficult to edit and tune the graph model for best performance. We have to go into the model but we do not have a model viewer for quick access."
"In terms of improvement, we always look for ways they can optimize the model, accelerate the speed and the accuracy, and how can we optimize with our different techniques. There are various techniques available in TensorFlow. Maintaining accuracy is an area they should work on."
"I would love to have a user interface like a programming interface. You need to have a set of menus where you can put things together in a graphical interface. The complete automation of the integration of the modules would also be interesting. It’s more like plumbing as opposed to a fully automated environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"The platform's price is low."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"We are using the free version."
"I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
"I did not require a license for this solution. It a free open-source solution."
"I am using the open-source version of TensorFlow and it is free."
"TensorFlow is free."
"It is an open-source solution, so anyone can use it free of charge."
"I think for learners to deploy a project, you can actually use TensorFlow for free. It's just amazing to have an open-source platform like TensorFlow to deploy your own project. Here in Russia no one really cares about licenses, as it is totally open source and free. My clients in the United States were also pleased to learn when they enquired, that licensing is free."
"The solution is free."
