We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More Hugging Face Pros →

"It is also totally Open-Source and free. Open-source applications are not good usually. but TensorFlow actually changed my view about it and I thought, "Look, Oh my God. This is an open-source application and it's as good as it could be." I learned that TensorFlow, by sharing their own knowledge and their own platform with other developers, it improved the lives of many people around the globe.""TensorFlow provides Insights into both data and machine learning strategies.""TensorFlow improves my organization because our clients get a lot of investment from their investors and we are progressively improving the products. Every six months we release new features.""What made TensorFlow so appealing to us is that you could run it on a cluster computer and on a mobile device.""It is open-source, and it is being worked on all the time. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks. You can just use your local machine with the open-source TensorFlow and create pretty good models.""Google is behind TensorFlow, and they provide excellent documentation. It's very thorough and very helpful.""Edge computing has some limited resources but TensorFlow has been improving in its features. It is a great tool for developers.""The most valuable features are the frameworks and the functionality to work with different data, even when we have a certain quantity of data flowing."

Cons
"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."

More Hugging Face Cons →

"Personally, I find it to be a bit too much AI-oriented.""It would be nice to have more pre-trained models that we can utilize within layers. I utilize a Mac, and I am unable to utilize AMD GPUs. That's something that I would definitely be like to be able to access within TensorFlow since most of it is with CUDA ML. This only matters for local machines because, in Azure, you can just access any GPU you want from the cloud. It doesn't really matter, but the clients that I work with don't have cloud accounts, or they don't want to utilize that or spend the money. They all see it as too expensive and want to know what they can do on their local machines.""I would love to have a user interface like a programming interface. You need to have a set of menus where you can put things together in a graphical interface. The complete automation of the integration of the modules would also be interesting. It’s more like plumbing as opposed to a fully automated environment.""For newcomers to the field, the learning curve can be steep, often requiring about a year of dedicated effort.""It would be nice if the solution was in Hungarian. I would like more Hungarian NAT models.""In terms of improvement, we always look for ways they can optimize the model, accelerate the speed and the accuracy, and how can we optimize with our different techniques. There are various techniques available in TensorFlow. Maintaining accuracy is an area they should work on.""TensorFlow Lite only outputs to C.""However, if I want to change just one thing in the implementation of TensorFlow functions I have to copy everything that they wrote and I change it manually if indeed it can be amended. This is really hard as it's written in C++ and has a lot of complications."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
  • More Hugging Face Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "TensorFlow is free."
  • "I think for learners to deploy a project, you can actually use TensorFlow for free. It's just amazing to have an open-source platform like TensorFlow to deploy your own project. Here in Russia no one really cares about licenses, as it is totally open source and free. My clients in the United States were also pleased to learn when they enquired, that licensing is free."
  • "We are using the free version."
  • "It is open-source software. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks."
  • "I did not require a license for this solution. It a free open-source solution."
  • "I am using the open-source version of TensorFlow and it is free."
  • "I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "It is an open-source solution, so anyone can use it free of charge."
