Integration with automation tools enhances customer sentiment analysis
Comprehend is a useful service for sentiment analysis as it analyzes customer transcripts to evaluate interactions between customers and agents. It provides scores indicating whether sentiments are positive, negative, or neutral. The integration with AWS services like DynamoDB and Lambda facilitates automated analysis, contributing to more informed assessments of customer interactions.

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

"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"If you want to build a solution quickly without knowing any coding, it's pretty good to start with."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."
"The drag-and-drop interface is good."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."
 

Cons

"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
"There is room for improvement in terms of accuracy. For example, when a sentence expresses a negative sentiment, such as 'I want to cancel my credit card,' it is crucial for the system to accurately identify it as negative."
"Improvement in integration is crucial, and it'll be interesting to see how it develops, especially with SAP's move towards cloud-based solutions like SAP Rise and its collaboration with hyper scalers like AWS. Integrating SAP with hyperscaler machine learning solutions could simplify operations, although SAP's environment is complex. SAP has initiated deals with AWS for this purpose, but I'm not as familiar with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio's involvement."
"It is a complex solution and it takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts, and setting up a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model was not easy."
"The pricing policy should be improved. I find the pricing to be not a good story in this case, as it is not affordable for everyone."
"The price could be improved."
"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
"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."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"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."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"The product is not that expensive."
