Featured Review
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.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy.""We have many use cases for the solution, such as digitalizing records, a chatbot looking at records, and being able to use generative AI on them.""The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users.""Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution.""The product saves a lot of time.""The solution has a very drag-and-drop environment. Instead of coding something from scratch or understanding any concept in extensive depth before deployment, this is good. Plus, they have an auto dataset, which means you can choose any dataset they have instead of providing your own. So that's also pretty nice.""We can use the solution to implement our tasks and models quickly."

More Azure OpenAI Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses.""The most valuable feature is data normalization.""The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution.""The graphical nature of the output makes it very easy to create PowerPoint reports as well.""What I like best about Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is that it's a straightforward tool and it's easy to use. Another valuable feature of the tool is AutoML which lets you get better metrics to train the model right and with good accuracy. The AutoML feature allows you to simply put in your data, and it'll pre-process and create a more accurate model for you. You don't have to do anything because AutoML in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio will take care of it.""It's easy to use.""I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."

Cons
"The solution needs to accommodate smaller companies.""The product must improve its dashboards.""There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required.""Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand.""There is room for improvement in their support services.""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.""Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources.""We are awaiting the new updates like multi-model capabilities."

More Azure OpenAI Cons →

"There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps.""The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms.""They should have a desktop version to work on the platform.""The interface is a bit overloaded.""The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team.""In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great.""​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section.""Overall, the icons in the solution could be improved to provide better guidance to users. Additionally, the setup process for the solution could be made easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost structure depends on the volume of data processed and the computational resources required."
  • "The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
  • "The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
  • "The cost is quite high and fixed."
  • "The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
  • "Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
  • "I'm uncertain about the licensing, specifically the pricing. This falls under the purview of other teams, particularly the sales teams. I am not informed about the pricing details."
  • "According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
  • More Azure OpenAI Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
  • "The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
  • "There is a license required for this solution."
  • "I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
  • "In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
  • "My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
