Vipul-Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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.
Takayuki Umehara - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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 platform's Google Vision API is particularly valuable."
"The feedback left about these tools was really helpful and informative for us"
"I have seen measurable benefits from Google Cloud AI Platform."
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"Azure's AutoML feature is probably better than the competition."
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"The solution facilitates our production."
"The visualizations are great. It makes it very easy to understand which model is working and why."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"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."
"The technical support from Google is not very fast. I think it is about a five out of ten even though they have courses online where I can learn a lot, if I really need support, I have to wait a very long time."
"The model management on Google Cloud AI Platform could be better."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the process to make your own models."
"If you want to be able to deploy your tools outside of Microsoft Azure, this is not the best choice."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think it should be made cheaper for certain people…It may appear costlier for those who don't consider time important."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"The price of the solution is competitive."
"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."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"The platform's price is low."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
