Automation reduces costs and boosts efficiency in financial tasks
I use Amazon Augmented AI for voice recognition and emotion recognition when I receive numerous emails, which are often not worth replying to. I rectify this with machine learning tools. I work in the financial industry, specializing in banks, insurance companies, government, and more The most…

Platform accelerates model development, enhances collaboration, and offers efficient deployment
The best features Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers include deep integration with Python notebooks and Azure Data Lake, which allows me to import external data, and through the pipeline, I can build my models, performing what is called data injection for my model building, making that deep integration quite interesting to use. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a powerful platform for those already in the Azure ecosystem because it allows for scalability and provides a good environment for reproducibility, as well as collaboration tools, all designed and packaged in one place, which makes it outstanding. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has positively impacted my organization by reducing our project delivery times and increasing the pace at which we work, allowing us to focus on other more important tasks. Using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has reduced our model development time from approximately four hours to about two hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Amazon Augmented AI is its automation capability."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use​.​​"
"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"As long as the model is not too complex, it's a pretty easy solution to roll out."
"Even for people from the business side, this is a very good product."
"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."
"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
 

Cons

"There needs to be continuous monitoring and improvement, especially regarding security issues, to address threats from hackers."
"The development support, costing twenty-nine dollars per month, is almost ineffective, with long email response times."
"The solution must increase the amount of data sources that can be integrated."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"I'm rating Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio eight out of ten because it still needs some improvement."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"I have found Databricks is a better solution because it has a lot of different cluster choices and better integration with MLflow, which is much easier to handle in a machine learning system."
"Stability-wise, you may face certain problems when you fail to refresh the data in the solution."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
"The solution cost is high."
