Featured Reviews

CollinsOmondi - PeerSpot reviewer
Support team is available and answers all the questions and it is also free which is good for personal projects
The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions. I think it's free for personal projects unless you want to go to production. I haven't really used it that much, but the features that I have used so far, I have no issues with them.
Serge Dahdouh - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly platform that automatizes machine learning techniques with minimal effort
We work with clients who request the implementation of a certain document into a chatbot. Because of the limited knowledge of AI, our task is to link that file to the ML and provide a platform that can work as a customer service. We previously used LangChain Phython, but now it is done through Vertex AI.

Pros

"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"We extensively utilize Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform for our machine learning workflows. Specifically, we leverage the IO branch for EDA data in Suresh Live Virtual, employing Forte IT for training machine learning models. The AI model registry in Vertex AI is crucial for cataloging and managing various versions of the models we develop. When it comes to deploying models, we rely on Google Cloud's AI Prediction service, seamlessly integrating it into our workflow for real-time predictions or streaming. For monitoring and tracking the outcomes of model development, we employ Vertex AI Monitoring, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance and results. This integrated approach within Vertex AI provides a unified platform for managing, deploying, and monitoring machine learning models efficiently."
"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
 

Cons

"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"I think the technical documentation is not readily available in the tool."
"Both major systems, Azure and Google, are not yet stabilized, especially their customer support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price structure is very clear"
"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
