Stable and scalable with excellent technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution."
  • "The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for data science.

What is most valuable?

The technical support of the solution is great. We have a contract with Microsoft and they are very good. 

The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution. 

The pricing is very good.

What needs improvement?

The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms. 

The solution needs more functionality.

For how long have I used the solution?

We're at the beginning of the process and have only been using the solution for a few months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. We haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. We haven't experienced any crashes.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is extremely scalable. This is because it's on the cloud. If a company needs to scale up they can do so quickly and easily.

At the moment, we have five employees using the solution. They are data scientists and engineers.

How are customer service and technical support?

The solution offers very good technical support. Microsoft is well represented here in France. We've been very satisfied with support so far.

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

Previous to this solution, we had an improvised product. It wasn't a native cloud solution. We ended up choosing Azure Machine Learning because Azure is our management product. It made it easy for us to switch to the cloud.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy because it's a cloud solution. With the cloud option, you just subscribe, and you are ready to go in a few minutes.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the product. It's a solution that can cover all the processes from data preparation to mobilization data while serving the clients and production.

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 is our primary use case?

I am using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for my personal use.

What is most valuable?

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.

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?

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a stable solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. I think it's a cloud service, and whenever I create a new workspace, it takes me around five to ten minutes to deploy it.

What about the implementation team?

I implemented this solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to new users. It's easy for people to use.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a nine.

Split dataset, data visualization are helpful, but it needs integrated Pivot Table feature
Pros and Cons
  • "Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
  • "I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."

What is our primary use case?

My  primary use of ML Studio is to experiment with different algorithms and learn the techniques of machine learning. In the meantime, I have developed a few models related to finance. One of the predictive models I designed was an Invoice Discrepancy Prediction model using a Multiclass Neural Network algorithm. This model predicts if an invoice will have a variance of some sort when checked against the purchase order, before the payments are to be processed.

How has it helped my organization?

Thanks to the model I designed, the productivity of processing invoices has increased by over 11%, because the team members only verify invoices that are discrepancy-free now.

What is most valuable?

  • Split dataset
  • variety of algorithms
  • visualizing the data
  • drag and drop capability 

are the features I appreciate most. 

The capability to model the data by finding empty cells and filling missing values by deriving the median and more, are great features that makes the job way easier.

What needs improvement?

I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system. It also needs features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.
