Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems
We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

Experience gains better customer interactions and user-friendliness but requires more efficient agent development
The development toolkit itself and the engine that supported the agent development was flexible. The features include support for RAG and support for generative AI. What we're looking to do is provide a human-like interface where natural language comes into play to serve HR data. Our users interact in a narrative fashion and get their queries answered. It has increased our serving of HR requests by 30%. It is user friendly, and our user base was able to work with it quite conveniently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With just one single platform, Google Vertex AI platform, we can achieve everything; we need not switch over to multiple tools, multiple platforms, as everything can be accomplished through this one single platform for integration with existing workflows, systems, tools, and databases."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."
"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"The development toolkit itself and the engine that supported the agent development was flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"Google Vertex AI is quite complex to navigate and to start services with, as I need to do a lot of iterations to finally activate the services, which is one major flaw, although it is powerful."
"Some of the tools should have more advanced settings available. Some are very locked into certain features and settings, and there is no customization."
"Both major systems, Azure and Google, are not yet stabilized, especially their customer support."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"The platform and toolkit that we use to develop agents could benefit from improvements from a user-friendliness perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
"The price structure is very clear"
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
