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

"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"As long as the model is not too complex, it's a pretty easy solution to roll out."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"Scalability, in terms of running experiments concurrently is good. At max, I was able to run three different experiments concurrently."
"The interface is very intuitive."
"Auto email and studio are great features."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
 

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."
"In terms of data capabilities, if we compare it to Google Cloud's BigQuery, we find a difference. When fetching data from web traffic, Google can do a lot of processing with small queries or functions."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI consultation like image and video classification, and improvement in the presentation of data."
"In the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
"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."
"Stability-wise, you may face certain problems when you fail to refresh the data in the solution."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved. Using this product, I can not prepare the data very much and this is a bottleneck in machine learning."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"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 product's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
