Room For Improvement

Cohere could improve text matching, ERP understanding, and creative capabilities, with better reporting, integration, and support documentation.
Users seek improved usability, algorithm variety, support, pricing, integration, deep learning modules, and better data preparation in Azure ML Studio.
We want such features because when chatting with clients, we can demonstrate that employing Cohere's reranking model significantly improves results compared to not using it.
Founding Engineer at Agentize.AI
Because it does not have extensive understanding of Oracle functionalities in ERP, it sometimes gives wrong results or the confidence score is lower than desired.
Sr Test engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
During the embedding process, measurable metrics are not visible.
DevOps Engineer at CHI Software
It would be beneficial for them to incorporate more services required for LLMs or LLM evaluation.
Data Engineer at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
I find the pricing to be not a good story in this case, as it is not affordable for everyone.
Solution Sales Specialist at Intent Solutions Group
In future updates, I would appreciate improvements in integration and more AI features.

Setup Cost

Cohere's pricing is competitive, but production costs can be high, especially with Oracle; AWS credits help mitigate expenses.
Microsoft Azure's pricing is seen as reasonable, though complexities and potential high costs require careful management.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is expensive to use all Oracle services.
Senior Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cohere's pricing, setup cost, and licensing are better.

Engineer at Roche
Have improved project workflows using faster response times and reduced data embedding costs
One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search. Let's suppose I have provided textual data that has been embedded. I have to use some extra process from numpy after embedding the model. In the case of OpenAI embedding models, I do not have to use that extra process, and they provide lower distances compared to my results from Cohere. I was getting distances of approximately 0.005 sometimes, but in the case of Cohere, I was getting distances around 0.5 or sometimes more than that. I think that can be improved. It was possibly because of some configuration or the way I was using it, but I am not exactly sure about that.

Platform accelerates model development, enhances collaboration, and offers efficient deployment
The best features Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers include deep integration with Python notebooks and Azure Data Lake, which allows me to import external data, and through the pipeline, I can build my models, performing what is called data injection for my model building, making that deep integration quite interesting to use. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a powerful platform for those already in the Azure ecosystem because it allows for scalability and provides a good environment for reproducibility, as well as collaboration tools, all designed and packaged in one place, which makes it outstanding. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has positively impacted my organization by reducing our project delivery times and increasing the pace at which we work, allowing us to focus on other more important tasks. Using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has reduced our model development time from approximately four hours to about two hours.
