A free toolkit providing improved neural network performance
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.
Dan Bryant - PeerSpot reviewer
A strong solution for providing insight into machine learning strategies
I'm not a professional with machine learning. Early on, I was working with data scientists and built a platform for some old-school data scientists to turn around their models faster, and they were focused on electric prices. Based on that experience and my understanding of our value, I'm researching all the machine learning tools. I realized I would have to be a specialist in any of them, and my main skillset is in systems engineering and data engines. I look forward to being an analytics specialist. In real life, I would be better off hiring a professional because when I decide which tool I want to use for what job, I could hire that professional. They would be valuable to me across the whole of what we do. It's kinda of what I do when I build hardware and new products or do version upgrades. I hire a team just for production that are experts in their particular field, so I get production-quality pieces. At that point, my internal team can add the necessary analytics or automation. Hopefully, anyone getting the solution already knows what they will use it for. If they're starting from scratch, I strongly recommend hiring a consultant. I rate TensorFlow an eight out of ten because, for my intents and purposes, I don't know what else one can use to get into the machine learning game if you're going to export models.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
"Optimization is very good in TensorFlow. There are many opportunities to do hyper-parameter training."
"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."
"Google is behind TensorFlow, and they provide excellent documentation. It's very thorough and very helpful."
"I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I am not a developer but more of an account manager. I can find what I want with TensorFlow. I haven’t contacted technical support for any issues. Since TensorFlow is vastly documented on the internet, I usually find some good websites where people exchange their views about the solution and apply that."
"The available documentation is extensive and helpful."
"What made TensorFlow so appealing to us is that you could run it on a cluster computer and on a mobile device."
"It is easy to use and learn."
"The most valuable feature of TensorFlow is deep learning. It is the best tool for deep learning in the market."
 

Cons

"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."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
"It currently offers inbuilt functions, however, having the ability to implement custom libraries would enhance its usefulness for enterprise-level applications."
"It would be cool if TensorFlow could make it easier for companies like us to program for running it across different hyperscalers."
"For newcomers to the field, the learning curve can be steep, often requiring about a year of dedicated effort."
"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."
"I know this is out of the scope of TensorFlow, however, every time I've sent a request, I had to renew the model into RAM and they didn't make that prediction or inference. This makes the point for the request that much longer. If they could provide anything to help in this part, it will be very great."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."
"The solution is free."
"TensorFlow is free."
"I did not require a license for this solution. It a free open-source solution."
"I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
"We are using the free version."
"I am using the open-source version of TensorFlow and it is free."
"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."
"It is open-source software. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks."
