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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
"Azure's AutoML feature is probably better than the competition."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The solution is scalable."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"You will be able to create your machine-learning project and extract insights from it just by dragging and dropping components and adjusting some parameters."
"MLS allows me to set up data experiments by running through various regression and other machine learning algorithms, with different data cleaning and treatment tools. All of this can be achieved via drag and drop, and a few clicks of the mouse."
"The product is well organized. The thing is how we will get the models to work within our code. We have some suggestions there, but we want to gain more experience and be ready to answer that because we are currently working on this and don't have all the answers yet. The tool is well organized. What I am very happy about is the ease of deploying new resources. You can easily create your pipeline within minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
 

Cons

"Customer service is below average."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"I would like to see better prediction and analysis."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve. The solution is good for test development but it is not good for production environments."
"I cannot comment on specific improvements yet as we are still exploring and need more time to identify the areas that require enhancements."
"Performance is very poor."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
