An AI platform AI Platform to train your machine learning models at scale, to host your trained model in the cloud, and to use your model to make predictions about new data
It's a host of use cases depending on, again, the the client requirement.  A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational…

Provides good integration and used for data labeling
We use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio to train our models and for data labeling The solution's most beneficial feature is its integration with Azure. We are an Azure-based company, and the solution's integration feature allows us to log in through Cosmos DB or Application Insights.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's Google Vision API is particularly valuable."
"Since the model could be trained in just a couple of hours and deploying it took only a few minutes, the entire process took less than an hour."
"On GCP, we are exposing our API services to our clients so that they send us their information. It can be single individual records or it can be a batch of their clients."
"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate."
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational solution really quick."
"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"It's easy to use."
"The AutoML is helpful when you're starting to explore the problem that you're trying to solve."
"The solution is really scalable."
"Scalability, in terms of running experiments concurrently is good. At max, I was able to run three different experiments concurrently."
"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
 

Cons

"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite."
"Customizations are very difficult, and they take time."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the process to make your own models."
"The initial setup was straightforward for me but could be difficult for others."
"One thing that I found is that Azure ML does not directly provide you with features on Google Cloud AI Platform, whereas Vertex provides some features of the platform."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual. Then, we came up with a truth set and developed different machine learning models with the help of that truth set, so now it's completely machine learning."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"We can create a label job, but we still have to use the Azure Machine Learning REST APIs, which are not yet supported in the Python SDK version 2."
"Performance is very poor."
"In the Machine Learning Studio, particularly the Designer part, which is essentially Azure's demo designer, there is room for improvement. Many customers and users tend to switch to Microsoft Azure Multi-Joiners, which is a more basic version, but they do so internally. One area that could use enhancement is the process of connecting components. Currently, every time you want to connect a component, such as linking it to your storage or an instance like EC2, you have to input your username and password repeatedly. This can be quite cumbersome. Google, for instance, has made it more user-friendly by allowing easy access for connecting services within a workspace. In a workspace, you can set up various resources like storage, a database cluster, machine learning studio, and more. When connecting these services, there's no need to enter your username and password each time, making it a more efficient process. Another aspect to consider is the role of the designer, and they were to integrate a large language model to handle various tasks, it could significantly enhance the overall scalability and usability of the platform."
"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has an attractive starting program, which costs only 300 USD for a duration of three months. During this period, one can accomplish a lot of work on the solution."
"For every thousand uses, it is about four and a half euros."
"The licenses are cheap."
"The price of the solution is competitive."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"The product is not that expensive."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"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."
"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."
