Featured Reviews

reviewer2319402 - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Business Development at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good fit for medium-sized companies, and offers good AutoML feature
In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment. It's a good product for customization and developing products. But when we need the most control over the delivery, Watson isn't the best. We can't fix everything because we're working with a machine that's creating a product. And the ability to go in-depth and tweak our model easily would be really nice.
reviewer2760291 - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of AI at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has accelerated AI solution development through automated evaluation and fine-tuning
Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems. Prem Studio has a straightforward yet powerful approach to evaluate disparate AI architectures on our business problems and to accurately fine-tune the most promising ones. This significantly reduced time-to-market, almost by a factor of ten in my case, for solutions tailored and optimized for customer requirements and KPIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can enable and change developer productivity with artificial intelligence-recommended code based on natural language input or exciting source code."
"We have seen an ROI, as it has improved self-service and customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution's the cost and human labor savings."
"I was particularly interested in trying the AutoML feature to see how it handles data and proposes new models. The variety of models it provides is impressive."
"I like the whole concept of using Watson; it has a lot of good features and we find the image classification very useful."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution ten out of ten."
"The solution is very valuable to our organization due to the fact that we can work on it as a workflow."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
"Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems."
 

Cons

"They should add more GPU processing power to improve performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data."
"Scaling is limited in some use cases. They need to make it easier to expand in all aspects."
"Sometimes training the model is difficult."
"If I consider how we want to use it in our organization, certain areas of improvement can be addressed. For instance, we want to use it with Generative AI, not like ChatGPT, but in a way intended for industrial use."
"The supporting language is limited, and other languages could be added."
"In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment."
"However, early on, they relied heavily on building out these massive reference tables. That was a ton of the work that had to be done."
"Honestly, I haven't seen any comparative report that has run the same data through two different artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities to get something out of it. I would love to see that."
"The inference should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've only been using the free tier, but it's quite competitive on a service basis."
"The pricing model is good."
