Liqing Pan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has built key functionality for AI workflows and improved speed in enterprise applications
It would be better to have a dashboard for users to showcase how reranking helps improve quality. When end users choose the service, they want to see the actual output. The evaluation part is challenging for recent large language model applications but remains very important. If Cohere could provide a dashboard where we can employ an LLM as a judge to check quality before and after reranking, that would be helpful. We could either have another large language model evaluate this part or allow UAT users to manually check with humans in the middle. As an enterprise provider, 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. For all applications we are building for clients, there's no other relationship. However, I'm curious if Cohere wants to explore education cases. One engagement of my company, Asian Ties, introduces education programs for young professionals and helps them through programs teaching about building generative AI pipelines. I want to see if Cohere has opportunities to collaborate with such institutions. Our education program includes an internship program accepted by two top universities in China along with local education institutions. Documentation is not a major blocking issue for us as we are sophisticated software engineers. Integration and the API provided for reranking models are not complicated, so we can easily handle that. The documentation is good. The major point is to prove the value through evaluation. We need a sophisticated solution to showcase visibly to our clients and engineering team to convince them that using this model creates improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

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."
"When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors; the time savings are significant—what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum."
"A direct benefit of using Cohere's reranking model is that we can tell clients we have this module rather than missing this piece, as reranking is a very important component that companies discuss to enhance RAG quality."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Machine Learning Studio for me is its convenience. I can quickly start using it without setting up the environment or buying a lot of devices."
"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 drag-and-drop interface is good."
"I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results."
"I find Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio advantageous because it allows integration with Titan Scratch and offers an easy-to-use drag-and-drop menu for developing machine learning models."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
 

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."
"It's challenging for us to make a conclusion about quality, but the speed is good."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve in providing more efficient and cost-effective access to its tools for companies like mine."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it. What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general."
"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
