The summary above is based on 15 interviews we conducted recently with Azure OpenAI and Hugging Face users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"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."
"We can use the solution to implement our tasks and models quickly."
"Azure OpenAI is easy to use because the endpoints are created, and we just need to pass our parameters and info."
"The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users."
"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."
"What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
"The product must improve its dashboards."
"Sometimes, the responses are repetitive."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"The solution needs to accommodate smaller companies."
"Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand."
"Latency performance is a major part. And I'm seeking support for multiple models that handle text, images, videos, and voice. I'm from India, and I'm looking for more support in Indian languages. There are 18 official languages and many more unofficial. We need support for these languages, especially in voice moderation, which is not yet available."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"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."
"The area that needs improvement would be the organization of the materials. It could be clearer and more systematic. It would be good if the layout was clear and we could search the models easily."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
