What is our primary use case?
In my field, which is a FinTech company, Anyscale Platform is mainly used for security purposes, protecting data and everything by applying all the basic features from the platform.
For us, we are mainly using Anyscale Platform with VS Code development for providing services for production deployment from my end, as per my role.
We mainly do coding with Anyscale Platform, but if you dig deeper, as I mentioned, we are a FinTech company, so we work daily to prevent fraud. The entire integration with the platform helps us address this, along with faster service provision and risk assessment using Anyscale services.
What is most valuable?
Anyscale Platform provides top features including AI and ML workflows which are reliable and scalable, along with management capabilities. The integration with services like AWS and GCP is beneficial, and we also have a built-in monitor.
The monitoring feature of Anyscale Platform, particularly the metrics dashboard, stands out because it shows GPU memory usage and visualizations that simplify our experience with the entire dashboard along with a well-prepared debugging and logging system.
Since adopting Anyscale Platform, we have observed a drastic improvement in overall security, and it is cost-efficient. The performance and productivity boost have led to a reduction in the number of people needed for operations, and scalability has also improved significantly.
What needs improvement?
Anyscale Platform sometimes lags and there is no response, which happens rarely but is noted. Additionally, a built-in CI/CD integration could be a useful addition.
That was just a suggestion from my end regarding CI/CD integration since we have been using it differently, but I cannot add more than that.
The overall performance and boost from Anyscale Platform is amazing, but I still see some improvement points, which is why I chose that score.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Anyscale Platform for more than over a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Anyscale Platform is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Anyscale Platform is good.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is outstanding, as the support team is always available whenever we need to reach out or raise a ticket, and they assist us effectively.
I rate the customer support a ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
The entire process with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was smooth, with the costing sheet metrics provided and approval received, which seemed reasonable.
What was our ROI?
I do not really receive reports on exact numbers or budget saved, but if four people used to work on a particular task, that has reduced to one due to Anyscale Platform, allowing others to focus on different tasks.
I mentioned previously that we reduced the number of people needed for certain tasks from four to one, which signifies fewer people, less money saved, and time saved, although I do not have the entire metrics available.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The entire process with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was smooth, with the costing sheet metrics provided and approval received, which seemed reasonable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The other options were evaluated, but Anyscale Platform seemed the best choice.
What other advice do I have?
I advise others looking into using Anyscale Platform to consider its scalability and the services provided, which are all on point. I provided a review rating of seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
