The summary above is based on 29 interviews we conducted recently with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and Google Cloud AI Platform users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate."
"A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational solution really quick."
"Since the model could be trained in just a couple of hours and deploying it took only a few minutes, the entire process took less than an hour."
"On GCP, we are exposing our API services to our clients so that they send us their information. It can be single individual records or it can be a batch of their clients."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"It's easy to deploy."
"I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, I especially love the designer because you can just drag and drop items there and apply the logic that's already available with the designer. I love that I can use the libraries in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I don't have to search for the algorithms and all the relevant libraries because I can see them directly on the designer just by dragging and dropping. Though there's a bit of work during data cleansing, that's normal and can't be avoided. At least it's easy to find the relevant algorithm, apply that algorithm to the data, then get the desired output through Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. I also like the API feature of the solution which is readily available for me to expose the output to any consuming application, so that takes out a lot of headache. Otherwise, I have to have a developer who knows the API, and I have to have an API app, so all that is completely taken care of by the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio designer. With the solution, I can concentrate on how to improve the data quality to get quality recommendations, so this lets me concentrate on my job rather than focusing on the regular development of APIs or the pipelines, in particular, the data pipelines pulling the data from other sources. All the data is taken care of and you can also concentrate on other required auxiliary activities rather than just concentrating on machine learning."
"Their web interface is good."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the process to make your own models."
"Customizations are very difficult, and they take time."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual. Then, we came up with a truth set and developed different machine learning models with the help of that truth set, so now it's completely machine learning."
"I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite."
"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"One thing that I found is that Azure ML does not directly provide you with features on Google Cloud AI Platform, whereas Vertex provides some features of the platform."
"The initial setup was straightforward for me but could be difficult for others."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"Operability with R could be improved."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"In terms of data capabilities, if we compare it to Google Cloud's BigQuery, we find a difference. When fetching data from web traffic, Google can do a lot of processing with small queries or functions."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"I would like to see modules to handle Deep Learning frameworks."
"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."
