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.

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 most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"Auto email and studio are great features."
"For the best, reliable results, it is the best solution to have in mind."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
"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."
"It is a solution that can cover all the processes from data preparation to mobilization data while serving the clients and production."
 

Cons

"The development support, costing twenty-nine dollars per month, is almost ineffective, with long email response times."
"There needs to be continuous monitoring and improvement, especially regarding security issues, to address threats from hackers."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"I think they should improve two things. They should make their user interface more user-friendly. Integration could also be better. Because Microsoft Machine Learning is a Microsoft product, it's fully integrated with Microsoft Azure but not fully supported for other platforms like IBM or AWS or something else."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"I'm rating Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio eight out of ten because it still needs some improvement."
"When you use different Microsoft tools, there are different pricing metrics; it doesn't make sense, and the pricing metrics are quite difficult to understand and should be either clarified or simplified."
"It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"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."
"The solution cost is high."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
