We performed a comparison between MathWorks Matlab and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."
"One of the notable advantages is that it offers both a visual designer, which is user-friendly, and an advanced coding option."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"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."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
"Azure's AutoML feature is probably better than the competition."
"The visualizations are great. It makes it very easy to understand which model is working and why."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"The AutoML feature is very basic and they should improve it by using a more robust algorithm."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"Operability with R could be improved."
"I have found Databricks is a better solution because it has a lot of different cluster choices and better integration with MLflow, which is much easier to handle in a machine learning system."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product."
"I think it should be made cheaper for certain people…It may appear costlier for those who don't consider time important."
