Support team is available and answers all the questions and it is also free which is good for personal projects
The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions. I think it's free for personal projects unless you want to go to production. I haven't really used it that much, but the features that I have used so far, I have no issues with them.

Pros

"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps."
"The most valuable feature is data normalization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"It is very easy to test different kinds of machine-learning algorithms with different parameters. You choose the algorithm, drag and drop to the workspace, and plug the dataset into this component."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"I've developed a couple of chatbots using Azure OpenAI, leveraging its documented solutions and APIs. The tools available make it straightforward to implement machine learning solutions. However, there are challenges, such as hallucinations and security issues, but overall, it works well and is quite fast, allowing for the development of interesting projects."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
 

Cons

"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"The solution should be more customizable. There should be more algorithms."
"It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general."
"A problem that I encountered was that I had to pay for the model that I wanted to deploy and use on Azure Machine Learning, but there wasn't any option that that model can be used in the designer."
"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."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"The solution must increase the amount of data sources that can be integrated."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"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 solution cost is high."
"The product is not that expensive."
