Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio Reviews

We're mainly using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio to run experiments on our data for predictive analytics.

I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results.

The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long.

I've been using this solution for about a year.

It's pretty stable, and I have not had any issues. I would rate the solution's stability at nine out of ten.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio itself is not really designed to be deployed. You get the model output from Machine Learning Studio, and then you have to use other Azure services for deployment. Thus, it's not very scalable in that sense.

However, for scalability in terms of machine learning and running different algorithms, I would rate it at eight out of ten. In terms of deploying machine learning solutions, I would not rate it very high. I am the only one who uses this solution in my organization, and we are not planning to increase usage at present.

The initial setup wasn't too complex, and I would rate it at eight out of ten. The documentation was easy to follow.

The deployment took a couple of days. We obtained the data, made it available, and then set up the environment. We tried out different models and ran experiments.

We deployed it ourselves.

On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six.

If you want to train models on larger datasets, then Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a good solution. If you need to run a few diverse set of experiments with different environments, then it really comes in handy.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio at eight out of ten because it's easy to start using it. Also, it's pretty robust and stable, and the interface is nice to work with.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio can be used for a variety of machine learning tasks, including deployment and creation of new components.

The stability and performance of the solution are good. But there is nothing specific to point out since it works smoothly.

Though I won't outrightly state it is an expensive solution, I think it should be made cheaper for certain people.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for six to eight months. There are no versions of the solution since it is a complete set of tools that Microsoft provides. Hence, I highly doubt if there is some version.

It is a pretty stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. I do not know how many users are using the solution in my company since I am not from the administration department. So, maybe people from the administration department might know the number of users in our company.

I am not aware of how many technical staff members are needed for deployment and maintenance.

I have never contacted the technical support team of Microsoft since I never need their help.

The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward.

I just worked with the company, and so the installment and everything else were taken care of by their infra team.

Since I am a normal employee working in my company, I don't know whether the company has experienced any return on investment using the solution.

The solution operates on a pay-per-use model.

I can recommend the solution to others planning to use it. It is important to note that the solution is a bit costly. But, then the cost depends on the requirements of the person planning to buy it.

It's difficult to say whether Microsoft Azure is costly or not since it depends on individual needs. Time is important for some, and the tool is very time-efficient, making it seem less costly. It may appear costlier for those who don't consider time important.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

In terms of use case, we implement Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio using Python libraries, so basically, we have a centralized studio where we just have to drag and drop features and create the model out of the data that we have. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is pretty easy to use even for people who don't know much about coding. They just need to know the features and libraries, so it's similar to Tableau and Alteryx because users can drag and drop features to create models or pipelines. We create and deploy pipelines through Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

What I like best about Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is that it's a straightforward tool and it's easy to use.

Another valuable feature of the tool is AutoML which lets you get better metrics to train the model right and with good accuracy. The AutoML feature allows you to simply put in your data, and it'll pre-process and create a more accurate model for you. You don't have to do anything because AutoML in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio will take care of it.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it.

What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners.

I've used Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in the past year in my previous company, though I'm unsure about which version I was using at the time.

The functionality of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, specifically its underlying computing power, was managed by Azure, so stability-wise, it's a good solution.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a scalable tool. My previous company was on a volume-based model with it, and even if the data is large, it's easy to scale.

The company decided to go with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio because of the partnership with Azure Cloud, so it's a way to leverage all features. The data was also hosted on the Azure platform, which made it pretty straightforward to use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio rather than integrate with other tools.

Setting up Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio was very easy and is comparable to how easy it is to use any feature available in the tool.

Configuring the pipeline takes just ten to fifteen minutes, but that would still depend on the data volume.

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.

Approximately two hundred to three hundred people, mostly part of the data analytics team, were using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio within the company.

My advice to anyone using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for the first time is to have an understanding of machine learning, deep learning, and libraries. You should also know the scripts because features are created on top of the machine learning libraries used in Python. If you want more optimizations or a better accuracy rate, you need a proper understanding of machine learning or a machine learning background before using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

I'm rating Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio eight out of ten because it still needs some improvement. For example, because the drag-and-drop feature of the tool was written or based on Python, when you're creating a model in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, you'll get good accuracy by writing the script in Python, so accuracy isn't standard. You can customize your metrics to get good accuracy, but what you'll get is completely generalized, so whatever use case you feed into the pipeline, it'll create a test to get good accuracy, but it'll not give you a guarantee that this will be the only accuracy you'll get.

The previous company I worked in was a partner of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

I use the solution to create a data flow and map all the databases or users.

The drag-and-drop interface is good.

The solution must increase the amount of data sources that can be integrated. Many customers have different types of data sources. The tool only supports seven out of ten data sources. The tool must increase the integration of data sources.

The tool is used to create flows. Its stability does not matter much as far as it creates the flow. Once we have created the flow, we just need to deploy it in our environment. Once the flow is defined, we put the algorithm in the machine learning node.

The product will be only used by a couple of people who design the flow and the model. There might be only three or four users in an organization with 100 employees.

The product is cloud-based.

The product is not that expensive.

Scalability is irrelevant to the tool. BFSI and IT companies use the product in India. Everyone is trying to leverage AI. The market is going towards AI. I see a lot of opportunity in it. The consumption of AI will increase in the future.

I will recommend the solution to my clients. We can support them because we are a partner with Microsoft. The solution enables customers to design flows using most of the available data sources. They can also create algorithms for predictive analysis. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio primarily to develop small-scale machine learning models in the UI and later deploying them to the vendor for machine learning purposes.

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. In my experience, I haven't identified any specific features that need improvement. I appreciate its simplicity and prefer it not to become overly complicated. For more sophisticated tasks, I would turn to other solutions like DataBricks, but for simplicity and ease of use, Azure Machine Learning Studio works well for me.

In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Power BI within Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. This full integration would enhance the overall functionality and usability of the solution, creating a seamless experience for users.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio for the last six years. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the stability a solid ten. From my personal perspective and experience, it has been extremely stable and reliable.

As for scalability, I would rate it a six. While it meets my current needs and expectations, there is room for improvement in terms of scalability for larger or more complex projects. However, considering that Azure Machine Learning Studio is designed as a compact and versatile tool, I don't have high expectations for extensive scalability beyond its current capabilities.

In general, Microsoft is responsive to community feedback, which is positive. However, their first-line support can be quite frustrating and is often considered a disaster. Dealing with the initial support team can be time-consuming and unproductive, as they often lack knowledge about the product or the specific issue being addressed Microsoft should implement better protocols to quickly escalate issues to higher-tier support with more expertise and knowledge about the product.

Neutral

The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten.

I would recommend Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, depending on the problem you're trying to solve. For our organization, we've seen benefits in marketing, particularly in calculating customer lifetime value. It's useful because it doesn't require much time to develop and provides immediate business results. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio when we need to connect with the customer's data. We can connect easily, and fast, and test and train quickly. We have quick results.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me.

I have used Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio within the last 12 months.

The stability of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve. The solution is good for test development but it is not good for production environments.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio

I have used other solutions, such as Anaconda previously, and I prefer them over Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. They are more stable.

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is easy.

We have one data scientist for the deployment and a data analyst for maintenance of the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.

I would recommend this solution for MPPs for fast production or deployments, but do not recommend the solution for production.

I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a five out of ten.

The use cases actually depend on the client's requirements.

We have been working with multiple clients so they have their own use cases, they have their own problem areas, and based on their use cases, we use that platform.

One of the use cases is dealing with dealer churn.

It's easy to deploy. 

It has many features which help the person avoid delving into more technical things. It's more user-friendly from a user point of view.

The solution is stable.

Technical support is helpful.

It's highly scalable. Since it is on the cloud, you can expand the storage, you can expand the RAM, and all those things. The best thing is the scalability.

Technical support could improve their turnaround time. 

I've been using the solution for approximately a year now.

It's quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good. 

It's quite scalable. It's on the cloud which makes it quite scalable.

We tend to use it for medium-sized organizations. The number of users is around 10 to 15. They are mostly engineers. 

Microsoft technical support has been wonderful. They are helpful and supportive. That said, the turnaround time can be improved a bit. 

Positive

We have three people that can handle deployments. It takes about two months to deploy. 

We provide maintenance to our clients and only need one person to handle it. It's not too maintenance-intensive. 

I'm not aware of how much the solution costs. I don't handle any of the licensing. 

We're a customer and an end-user. 

We're using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

This solution can be used for data pre-processing, interactive data analysis, automated training, and pre-processing pipelines.

The solution is easy to use and has good automation capabilities in conjunction with Azure DevOps.

In the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces. This would be something that would be helpful. Additionally, a better version for traceability functionality regarding data would be beneficial.

I have been using this solution for approximately six months.

The solution is stable.

I have found Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio scalable.

We have approximately eight people using the solution in my organization.

I have previously used Databricks. We switched to this solution because it provides better automation capabilities, easier to use external code, and allows the use of other tools, such as Docker containers.

The installation is easy. However, there is a bit more to do than with the installation of Databricks. The time it takes for the installation is approximately one day with a two-person team.

We use one engineer for the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten.
