Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills.""The solution is integrated with our Microsoft Azure tenant, and we don't have to go anywhere else outside the tenant.""ML Studio is very easy to maintain.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics.""Azure's AutoML feature is probably better than the competition.""Azure Machine Learning Studio's most valuable features are the package from Azure AutoML. It is quite powerful compared to the building of ML in Databricks or other AutoMLs from other companies, such as Google and Amazon.""The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."

"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."

More OpenVINO Pros →

Cons
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this.""Using the solution requires some specific learning which can take some time.""I think it should be made cheaper for certain people…It may appear costlier for those who don't consider time important.""Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve in providing more efficient and cost-effective access to its tools for companies like mine.""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.""The platform's integration feature could be better.""Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms.""There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps."

More Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
  • "When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
  • "From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
  • "The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
  • "There is a license required for this solution."
  • "I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
  • "In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
  • "My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."

  • "We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Databricks gives you the option of working with several different languages, such as SQL, R, Scala, Apache Spark, or Python. It offers many different cluster choices and excellent integration with… more »
    Top Answer:The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem.
    Top Answer:I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap. It was on a yearly basis, and there were also usage-based costs.
