Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio Other Advice

Microsoft has increased the usability and the features since we first implemented this solution.

If I had to start this process over again, I would involve Microsoft earlier because they were great for providing support, as well as guidance on the architecture and what kind of stuff you can do with the tool, and what you should do with it. This was very helpful to orient the team to the right documentation and tutorials.

The second thing I would do is to start working with DevOps activity as soon as you can. We found ourselves redoing the same things many times, instead of having a DevOps pipeline to implement the stuff that we already stabilized, for example, and then not losing time.

The third thing is involving an integrator to help put together the big picture.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I can recommend the solution to others planning to use it. It is important to note that the solution is a bit costly. But, then the cost depends on the requirements of the person planning to buy it.

It's difficult to say whether Microsoft Azure is costly or not since it depends on individual needs. Time is important for some, and the tool is very time-efficient, making it seem less costly. It may appear costlier for those who don't consider time important.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

I began using Azure three months ago, connecting my local Visual Code environment with the actual environment. This was a major improvement for me, as I can now work and run experiments on my local computer. I'm really pleased with how comfortable I am using Azure on all platforms.

The solution requires a minimum of one developer for maintenance. We need a DevOps developer and the tech lead to define the scope of the problems to be solved. The tech lead will provide guidance and oversight, while the DevOps developer will be responsible for implementing the solutions.

I enjoy working and have no difficulty in recommending Azure Machine Learning Studio to others, however, I recognize that there are many implementations utilizing AWS. AWS is a formidable competitor, so it is essential to be familiar with both solutions. Unfortunately, I have missed out on opportunities because I am not situated in the US. The environment is excellent, however, the large American market and the companies therein rely heavily on our work. This requires me to stay apprised of current developments, such as the widespread adoption of AWS, and learn how to use alternative platforms.

I use Azure Machine Learning Studio for predictive modeling in my project. I follow a workflow that involves selecting data, preprocessing it, training models, and deploying them. The Studio's tools cover all these steps, making it convenient for me to build and deploy predictive models.

In a specific scenario, I used Azure Machine Learning Studio for data preprocessing by creating new variables. This involved tasks like transforming variable types or combining multiple variables to create new ones. Additionally, I employed cross-validation techniques, such as k-fold validation, to assess model performance and select appropriate metrics for evaluation.

The most important aspect of my machine learning projects is the quality of the data. It is crucial to determine whether the data can provide meaningful information relevant to the project's use case, regardless of the specific tools or features used.

The drag-and-drop interface of Azure Machine Learning Studio has greatly improved my workflow. It is easy to use and increases productivity by allowing quick experimentation and visualization of data pipelines. This feature enables me to iterate rapidly and efficiently, especially for small projects or presentations.

I would rate the performance of the solution at an eight out of ten for my team. However, our data volume is not the largest. While I believe our performance is strong, other companies might rate it lower due to different circumstances.

My advice for someone considering installing Azure Machine Learning Studio is that it is user-friendly, especially for technical users. You can easily upload data and analyze it with the examples provided. The drag-and-drop interface makes it intuitive, and upgrading to this tool for data analysis is a good idea.

Overall, I would rate Azure Machine Learning Studio as a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio does not allow users to have a PnP option, like an ERP or a CRM system, where everything works if you include the data with the system. Sometimes, it is difficult to generate good patterns using the solution. You need to have good experience with the solution to move around with the data from the beginning before coming up with different strategies to end different problems. In general, the product is not a straightforward solution.

There is a need for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio's users to put in some programming efforts to make the solution work accurately under different scenarios.

I rate the overall solution a six out of ten.

The major advice I give is that clients must get the user,somebody who understands the business issues, to be deeply involved with it and the data transformation. Most people don't. And that's true for data science applications. We don't just follow the data in a big pile and remodel, we advance the process that we're modeling. Consider what transformations of the data you need to make it workable and usable.

Remember, over half the initial value of modeling is the strategic understanding provided re the importance of different variables to the model and hence the organizaion's performance. Very often the modeling identifies opportunities for changing structures, decision rules, etc. even prior to the model's actual implementation technically.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

You will be able to create your machine-learning project and extract insights from it just by dragging and dropping components and adjusting some parameters. This tool is very user-friendly, so without a lot of programming skills you can build machine-learning projects. 

If you need more control over machine-learning modules you will need to add R or Python modules to create a customized machine-learning model.

Mahendra Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Analytics at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Approximately two hundred to three hundred people, mostly part of the data analytics team, were using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio within the company.

My advice to anyone using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for the first time is to have an understanding of machine learning, deep learning, and libraries. You should also know the scripts because features are created on top of the machine learning libraries used in Python. If you want more optimizations or a better accuracy rate, you need a proper understanding of machine learning or a machine learning background before using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

I'm rating Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio eight out of ten because it still needs some improvement. For example, because the drag-and-drop feature of the tool was written or based on Python, when you're creating a model in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, you'll get good accuracy by writing the script in Python, so accuracy isn't standard. You can customize your metrics to get good accuracy, but what you'll get is completely generalized, so whatever use case you feed into the pipeline, it'll create a test to get good accuracy, but it'll not give you a guarantee that this will be the only accuracy you'll get.

The previous company I worked in was a partner of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

It's an easy tool. They have a good level of resources and we are pretty low with resources as far as data science is concerned.

Azure Machine Learning offers an opportunity for those who haven't been introduced to Azure programming. You can use the data analytics and their statistics skills to build and deploy data science solutions that can be beneficial for society and for different organizations.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

If you want to build a solution quickly without knowing any coding, it's pretty good to start with.

I will take a week to learn, from my experience. For anyone who is interested in trying it, they should start with the free version, which is free for up to 10 gigabytes of workspace.

Just log in and start developing and exploring the tool before onboarding.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning a seven out of ten.

CP
Tech Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to be prepared to take a slow approach to get the best results.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this solution is that the strategic outsourcing contact will need to have a strategy for the next three to five years because the efficiencies that we will be gaining from AI will reduce the requirements on physical staff doing traditional roles. However, the support element will increase. It means that the roles will change and evolve over the next three to five years within the UK contact center based on the deployment of AI.

I think that we probably didn't start from the point that would have benefited us most in terms of the AI. Had we put more research into the front end then there would have been a lot less work during the implementation.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

For data science professionals or programmers I would rate this solution a four out of 10. A major feature is missing: creating ensemble models. This can be achieved with the tool, but it's clumsy and slow.

For marketing or business professionals I would rate it an eight out of 10. It has a low barrier to entry, and can quickly create models that can be used for proof of concept and justify further investment in a full data science or Big Data project.

R and Python, in my mind, are still the way to go for a true data science/predictive analysis project. MLS's value is the ease of use and low barrier to entry. If one is not a programmer or statistician, MLS is a good way to get a project started, create a proof of concept.

I'm a consultant. Our company is partners with Microsoft.

Users will find it easy to get into Azure. Even if they aren't always in touch with Azure, they'll find themselves in touch with the dynamic field. Users have to get into Azure because once they get into the cloud, they should have some basic understanding of Azure itself.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. However, I don't know their competitors, so I can't really compare them to others on the market.

SD
Business transformation advisor/Enterprise Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

I would Definitely recommend Azure Machine Learning Studio — no doubt about it, it's a full-contact solution. Having said that, it really depends on the customer's appetite and what they're comfortable with. For example, I have interacted with people who prefer a basic Google cloud platform — from an AML perspective, they just feel like it's primarily Google. Not because of AML per se, it's more from a data storage perspective, which in this case, works better.

Personally, I come from a VFA site in the financial sector. Over there, the customers are really conscious about hosting their station or their data, especially on the cloud. Typically, they are very restricted because they are not comfortable hosting customer data on the cloud. This is where I think Azure or Google or even AWS fall short — they don't play any role there. Because of this, people actually customize their solutions or model them to fit their custom sites and customer-based solutions. 

Overall, I would give this solution a rating of seven. It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code. As long as the model is not too complex, it's a pretty easy solution to roll out.
