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 most valuable feature of Amazon Augmented AI is its automation capability."
"The visualizations are great. It makes it very easy to understand which model is working and why."
"The drag-and-drop interface of Azure Machine Learning Studio has greatly improved my workflow."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, I especially love the designer because you can just drag and drop items there and apply the logic that's already available with the designer. I love that I can use the libraries in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I don't have to search for the algorithms and all the relevant libraries because I can see them directly on the designer just by dragging and dropping. Though there's a bit of work during data cleansing, that's normal and can't be avoided. At least it's easy to find the relevant algorithm, apply that algorithm to the data, then get the desired output through Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. I also like the API feature of the solution which is readily available for me to expose the output to any consuming application, so that takes out a lot of headache. Otherwise, I have to have a developer who knows the API, and I have to have an API app, so all that is completely taken care of by the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio designer. With the solution, I can concentrate on how to improve the data quality to get quality recommendations, so this lets me concentrate on my job rather than focusing on the regular development of APIs or the pipelines, in particular, the data pipelines pulling the data from other sources. All the data is taken care of and you can also concentrate on other required auxiliary activities rather than just concentrating on machine learning."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
 

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."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great."
"When you use different Microsoft tools, there are different pricing metrics. It doesn't make sense. The pricing metrics are quire difficult to understand and should be either clarified or simplified. It would help us sell the solution to customers."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"There should be data access security, a role level security. Right now, they don't offer this."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"The platform's price is low."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
