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."
"THIS IS THE ONLY MODELING APPROACH THAT EVER WORKED THE VERY TIME I RAN IT!!"
"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."
"Auto email and studio are great features."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Power BI within Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio."
"The pricing policy should be improved. I find the pricing to be not a good story in this case, as it is not affordable for everyone."
"In terms of data capabilities, if we compare it to Google Cloud's BigQuery, we find a difference. When fetching data from web traffic, Google can do a lot of processing with small queries or functions."
"Using the solution requires some specific learning which can take some time."
"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"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 solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"The product is not that expensive."
"The solution cost is high."
