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."
"ML Studio is very easy to maintain."
"MLS allows me to set up data experiments by running through various regression and other machine learning algorithms, with different data cleaning and treatment tools. All of this can be achieved via drag and drop, and a few clicks of the mouse."
"It's easy to deploy."
"When you import the dataset you can see the data distribution easily with graphics and statistical measures."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
 

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."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI consultation like image and video classification, and improvement in the presentation of data."
"As for the areas for improvement in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, I've provided feedback to Microsoft. My company is a Gold Partner of Microsoft, so I provided my feedback in another forum. Right now, it is the number of algorithms available in the designer that has to be improved, though I'm sure Microsoft does it regularly. When you take a use case approach, Microsoft has done that in a lot of places, but not on the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio designer. When I say use case basis, I meant recommending a product or recommending similar products, so if Microsoft can list out use cases and give me a template, it will save me a lot of time and a lot of work because I don't have to scratch my head on which algorithm is better, and I can go with what's recommended by Microsoft. I'm sure that isn't a big task for the Microsoft team who must have seen thousands of use cases already, so out of that experience if the team can come up with a standard template, I'm sure it'll help a lot of organizations cut down on the development time, as well as going with the best industry-standard algorithms rather than experimenting with mine. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, apart from the use case template, is the improvement of the availability of libraries. Microsoft should also upgrade the Python versions because the old version of Python is still supported and it takes time for Microsoft to upgrade the support for Python. The pace of upgrading Python versions of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and making those libraries available should be sped up or increased."
"I cannot comment on specific improvements yet as we are still exploring and need more time to identify the areas that require enhancements."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"The interface is a bit overloaded."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The AutoML feature is very basic and they should improve it by using a more robust algorithm."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is not that expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"The platform's price is low."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
