A user-friendly platform that automatizes machine learning techniques with minimal effort
I mostly use LLM models on Vertex AI. When there is a large document or multiple documents, I put them in the index database of Vertex AI's platform and it extracts the right information We work with clients who request the implementation of a certain document into a chatbot. Because of the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services."
"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users."
"Azure OpenAI is useful for benchmarking products."
"The most crucial aspect is the conversational capability, where you can simply ask questions, and it provides answers based on your content and documents, particularly tailored to your specific environment."
"GPT was useful for our projects."
"OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"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."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"The fine-tuning of models with the use of Azure OpenAI is an area with certain shortcomings currently, and it can be considered for improvement in the future."
"One major drawback of Azure OpenAI is its availability, as it's not consistently accessible for effective use."
"There are no available updates of information that are currently provided."
"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."
"Sometimes, the responses are repetitive."
"There is room for improvement in their support services."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"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."
"I believe that Vertex AI is a robust platform, but its effectiveness depends significantly on the domain knowledge of the developer using it. While Vertex AI does offer support through the console UI in the Google Cloud environment, it is better suited for technical members who have a deeper understanding of machine learning concepts. The platform may be challenging for business process developers (BPDUs) who lack extensive technical knowledge, as it involves intricate customization and handling numerous parameters. Effectively utilizing Vertex AI requires not only familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch but also a proficiency in Python programming. The complexity of these requirements might pose challenges for less technically oriented users, making it crucial to have a solid foundation in both machine learning principles and Python coding to extract the full value from Vertex AI. It would be beneficial to have a streamlined process where we can leverage the capabilities of Vertex AI directly through the BigQuery UI. This could involve functionalities such as creating machine learning models within the BigQuery UI, providing a more user-friendly and integrated experience. This would allow users to access and analyze data from BigQuery while simultaneously utilizing Vertex AI to build machine learning models, fostering a more cohesive and efficient workflow."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product pricing six out of ten."
"The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
"The cost is quite high and fixed."
"The solution's pricing depends on the services you will deploy."
"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
"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 price structure is very clear"
"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."
