Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable, reliable product.""Stability-wise, it is a great tool.""The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people.""The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great.""It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements.""It is a very stable and reliable solution.""It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company.""Watson Studio is very stable."

"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that.""The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."

Cons
"The initial setup was complex.""I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries.""The solution's interface is very slow at times.""Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images.""We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers.""It's sometimes easy to get lost given the number of images the solution opens up when you click on the mouse and the amount of different tabs.""Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge.""Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."

"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes.""To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
