Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"It's easy to use."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very fast and simple for a data science solution."
"I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."
"The solution is scalable."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"I cannot comment on specific improvements yet as we are still exploring and need more time to identify the areas that require enhancements."
"It would be nice if the product offered more accessibility in general."
"A problem that I encountered was that I had to pay for the model that I wanted to deploy and use on Azure Machine Learning, but there wasn't any option that that model can be used in the designer."
"One problem I experience is that switching between multiple accounts can be difficult. I don't think there are any major issues. Mostly, the biggest challenge is to identify business solutions to this. The tool should keep on updating new algorithms and not stay static."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio was rigorous for someone new like me, but mastering it made things simpler."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
