Stable, with a straightforward setup and is very easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
  • "It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for learning purposes for the most part.

How has it helped my organization?

Personally, I got interested in data science and machine learning due to using this product. After some time with it, these topics didn't intimidate me.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very easy to use. It's user-friendly and simple to navigate.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward.

The solution is quite stable.

What needs improvement?

It's the first software that I've used in terms of machine learning. Therefore, I don't have anything to compare it to, however, it was okay for me. I didn't have any problems or anything.

Maybe it can be integrated with something else. For example, business analytics. That way, you could also give creative reports. It's possible it could be integrated with the Power BI, as it's also Microsoft. That said, I'm not really sure. It if isn't possible, it's something they could consider for a future release.

Microsoft needs to be sure to monitor the security and ensure they are constantly updating it.

It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've only been using the solution for a short amount of time. It's just for a course at school.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. I didn't have any lags or anything. It was smooth. There are no bugs or glitches. I don't recall it crashing or freezing on me.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution seems to be able to work well for companies both large and small. However, I did not personally attempt to scale it.

How are customer service and technical support?

I never really dealt with technical support directly. I have my teacher to teach or to ask questions to. He would often recommend these online tutorials to learn about the solution as well. I never really thought of asking a chat box, for example, of Microsoft, where I could type any help. I never really considered it. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they typically are.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not use a different solution. This is the first solution I used for machine learning.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward, very simple, and very easy to understand. 

Everything is just written down in a way that was an easy way to understand, even for someone who isn't used to the packages of Microsoft.

What about the implementation team?

I handled the deployment myself. I did not need the help of a consultant or integrator.

What other advice do I have?

I'm just a student. I was learning about machine learning via this product.

I'm not sure which deployment model we are using.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would advise other potential users to just start using it. If they really want to learn it, it will take a bit of time. Even though it's easy to use, you need some knowledge in data science. That will help make the process easier.

A totally easy to use solution with highly accurate machine learning models
Pros and Cons
  • "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 think they should improve two things. They should make their user interface more user-friendly. Integration could also be better. Because Microsoft Machine Learning is a Microsoft product, it's fully integrated with Microsoft Azure but not fully supported for other platforms like IBM or AWS or something else."

What needs improvement?

I think they should improve two things. They should make their user interface more user-friendly. Integration could also be better. Because Microsoft Machine Learning is a Microsoft product, it's fully integrated with Microsoft Azure but not fully supported for other platforms like IBM or AWS or something else.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
