Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search.""The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature.""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.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy.""OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs.""The product saves a lot of time.""Two aspects I appreciate are the turnaround time and ease of use. As it's a managed service, the quick turnaround is beneficial, and the simple interface makes it easy to work with. Performance and scalability are also strong points since you can scale as needed.""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."

"It's got quite a big community, which is useful.""Edge computing has some limited resources but TensorFlow has been improving in its features. It is a great tool for developers.""It empowers us to seamlessly create and deploy machine learning models, offering a versatile solution for implementing sophisticated environments and various types of AI solutions.""It provides us with 35 features like patch normalization layers, and it is easy to implement using the Kras library when the Kaspersky flow is running behind it.""I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I am not a developer but more of an account manager. I can find what I want with TensorFlow. I haven’t contacted technical support for any issues. Since TensorFlow is vastly documented on the internet, I usually find some good websites where people exchange their views about the solution and apply that.""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.""The most valuable feature of TensorFlow is deep learning. It is the best tool for deep learning in the market.""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
"We are awaiting the new updates like multi-model capabilities.""There are no available updates of information that are currently provided.""Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources.""I noticed there are no instructional videos or guides on the network portal for initial configurations. There is limited information available, and this is a concern for me. I would like to see more resources and guides to address these issues.""Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved.""Sometimes, the responses are repetitive.""Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand.""The solution needs to accommodate smaller companies."

"Personally, I find it to be a bit too much AI-oriented.""The solution is hard to integrate with the GPUs.""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.""There are connection issues that interrupt the download needed for the data sets. We need to prepare them ourselves.""JavaScript is a different thing and all the websites and web apps and all the mobile apps are built-in JavaScript. JavaScript is the core of that. However, TensorFlow is like a machine learning item. What can be improved with TensorFlow is how it can mix in how the JavaScript developers can use TensorFlow.""I know this is out of the scope of TensorFlow, however, every time I've sent a request, I had to renew the model into RAM and they didn't make that prediction or inference. This makes the point for the request that much longer. If they could provide anything to help in this part, it will be very great.""TensorFlow deep learning takes a lot of computation power. The more systems you can use, the easier it is. That's a good ability, if you can make a system run immediately at the same time on the same task, it's much faster rather than you having one system running which is slower. Running systems in parallel is a complex situation, but it can improve. There is a lot of work involved.""It would be nice if the solution was in Hungarian. I would like more Hungarian NAT models."

  • "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."
