We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud.""Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable.""The APIs are valuable.""The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience.""All of the features of this product are quite good."

More Google Cloud Datalab Pros →

"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product.""Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience.""The product must be made more user-friendly.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."

"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes.""To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
