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."
"The product is well organized. The thing is how we will get the models to work within our code. We have some suggestions there, but we want to gain more experience and be ready to answer that because we are currently working on this and don't have all the answers yet. The tool is well organized. What I am very happy about is the ease of deploying new resources. You can easily create your pipeline within minutes."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"Their support is helpful."
"The graphical nature of the output makes it very easy to create PowerPoint reports as well."
"The solution is scalable."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
"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 solution cannot connect to private block storage."
"The AutoML feature is very basic and they should improve it by using a more robust algorithm."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"The interface is a bit overloaded."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"One area where Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve is its user interface structure."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."

"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
