Empowerment in regulatory content generation marred by inconsistency and hallucination issues
While it is good, we sometimes encounter hallucination issues, which is a significant concern. We are changing the prompt and fine-tuning it, but we still face some inconsistent behavior. We have specific instructions and keep the temperature very low to avoid overly generative responses, ensuring we receive specific answers from the particular source document without deviation; however, the results can sometimes vary. The main issue with Azure OpenAI is the inconsistency in output. We have a set template instruction, and it should generate within those parameters without any creativity because it's meant for regulatory authoring documents. The business provides the template instructions, and it should generate accordingly. While we have different prompts for various needs, sometimes it generates the correct results, and sometimes it does not, leading to inconsistency. For stability, based on the current model I am using, I would rate Azure OpenAI a 7 due to the ongoing hallucination issues.

Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems
We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

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 is the ALM."
"Azure OpenAI is easy to use because the endpoints are created, and we just need to pass our parameters and info."
"The Azure platform integrates seamlessly with Databricks and all other Azure-related tools such as Power BI."
"Azure OpenAI's main use case for me involves defining solutions for incident remediation where AI provides intelligence to solve problems, perform root cause analysis, or triage incidents or changes."
"Compared to other language models, OpenAI offers richer and more articulate responses."
"Its ability to understand and respond well to queries, including language translation for clients, is beneficial."
"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"We extensively utilize Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform for our machine learning workflows. Specifically, we leverage the IO branch for EDA data in Suresh Live Virtual, employing Forte IT for training machine learning models. The AI model registry in Vertex AI is crucial for cataloging and managing various versions of the models we develop. When it comes to deploying models, we rely on Google Cloud's AI Prediction service, seamlessly integrating it into our workflow for real-time predictions or streaming. For monitoring and tracking the outcomes of model development, we employ Vertex AI Monitoring, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance and results. This integrated approach within Vertex AI provides a unified platform for managing, deploying, and monitoring machine learning models efficiently."
"The support is perfect and fantastic."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"I noticed there are no instructional videos or guides on the network portal for initial configurations. There is limited information available, and this is a concern for me. I would like to see more resources and guides to address these issues."
"Azure needs to work on its own model development and improve the integration of voice-to-text services, particularly for right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Urdu. The accuracy in these languages requires improvement."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"The product must improve its dashboards."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"The main issue with Azure OpenAI is the inconsistency in output. We have a set template instruction, and it should generate within those parameters without any creativity because it's meant for regulatory authoring documents."
"I have found the tool unreliable in certain use cases. I aim to enhance the system's latency, particularly in responding to calls. Occasionally, calls don't respond, so I want to improve reliability."
"The product features themselves are fine. However, with Microsoft scaling the service so much, the support structure needs to keep pace. When solving complex issues, the process of interacting with Microsoft can be quite time-consuming."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"Google Vertex AI is quite complex to navigate and to start services with, as I need to do a lot of iterations to finally activate the services, which is one major flaw, although it is powerful."
"I think the technical documentation is not readily available in the tool."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"Google can improve Google Vertex AI in terms of analysis and accuracy. When passing a very large context, instead of receiving vague responses, it would be better if the system could prompt users not to pass overly large prompts and provide clearer guidance on how to fine-tune Gemini for specific use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"Regarding pricing and licensing, it's a bit complex due to the minimum purchase requirement for PTO units. We're evaluating the best approach between PTE and pay-as-you-go models. Our organization is cautious about committing to PTE due to the fixed bandwidth reservation, while pay-as-you-go doesn't offer enough flexibility. We're discussing these matters with legal teams to ensure compliance and data security."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"The cost is quite high and fixed."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
"The price structure is very clear"
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
