Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have many use cases for the solution, such as digitalizing records, a chatbot looking at records, and being able to use generative AI on them.""Two aspects I appreciate are the turnaround time and ease of use. As it's a managed service, the quick turnaround is beneficial, and the simple interface makes it easy to work with. Performance and scalability are also strong points since you can scale as needed.""Azure OpenAI is useful for benchmarking products.""The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users.""The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature.""OpenAI integrates seamlessly with the broader Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and that provides synergies with the other solutions. This integration makes it much easier to build solutions.""My goal was to create an experience where project managers don't have to read through entire documents. Instead, they can ask a question and receive relevant point analysis. This analysis identifies the document and specific section where the information resides. Previously, users had to rely on these document references. Now, Azure OpenAI enhances the experience by providing the answer directly in the user's own language, relevant to their context.""The product saves a lot of time."

"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.""TensorFlow provides Insights into both data and machine learning strategies.""It is also totally Open-Source and free. Open-source applications are not good usually. but TensorFlow actually changed my view about it and I thought, "Look, Oh my God. This is an open-source application and it's as good as it could be." I learned that TensorFlow, by sharing their own knowledge and their own platform with other developers, it improved the lives of many people around the globe.""The most valuable feature of TensorFlow is deep learning. It is the best tool for deep learning in the market.""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.""What made TensorFlow so appealing to us is that you could run it on a cluster computer and on a mobile device.""The most valuable features are the frameworks and the functionality to work with different data, even when we have a certain quantity of data flowing."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in their support services.""There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required.""Azure OpenAI should use more specific sources like academic articles because sometimes the source can't be found.""The product features themselves are fine. However, with Microsoft scaling the service so much, the support structure needs to keep pace. When solving complex issues, the process of interacting with Microsoft can be quite time-consuming.""Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources.""The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes.""One area for improvement is providing more flexibility in configuration and connectivity with external tools.""Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand."

More Azure OpenAI Cons →

"There are connection issues that interrupt the download needed for the data sets. We need to prepare them ourselves.""For newcomers to the field, the learning curve can be steep, often requiring about a year of dedicated effort.""It would be nice to have more pre-trained models that we can utilize within layers. I utilize a Mac, and I am unable to utilize AMD GPUs. That's something that I would definitely be like to be able to access within TensorFlow since most of it is with CUDA ML. This only matters for local machines because, in Azure, you can just access any GPU you want from the cloud. It doesn't really matter, but the clients that I work with don't have cloud accounts, or they don't want to utilize that or spend the money. They all see it as too expensive and want to know what they can do on their local machines.""The solution is hard to integrate with the GPUs.""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.""It would be nice if the solution was in Hungarian. I would like more Hungarian NAT models.""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."

  • "TensorFlow 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."
  • "We are using the free version."
  • "It is open-source software. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks."
  • "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."
  • "I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "It is an open-source solution, so anyone can use it free of charge."
