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

"The solution is really scalable."
"Machine Learning Studio is easy to use."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"The most valuable feature is its compatibility with Tensorflow."
"The most valuable feature is the knowledge bank, which allows us to ask questions and the AI will automatically pull the pre-prescribed responses."
"The integration with Azure services enhances workflow and meets my expectations."
"The interface is very intuitive."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
"I cannot comment on specific improvements yet as we are still exploring and need more time to identify the areas that require enhancements."
"Performance is very poor."
"The solution must increase the amount of data sources that can be integrated."
"The pricing policy should be improved."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio was rigorous for someone new like me, but mastering it made things simpler."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"The inference should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution cost is high."
"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."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"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."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
