Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The notebook feature allows you to write inquiries and create dashboards. These dashboards can integrate with multiple databases, such as Excel, HANA, or SQL Server."
"The solution is very easy to use, so far as our data scientists are concerned."
"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use​.​​"
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the availability of ChatGPT in the solution."
"The platform as a service provides user-friendly instruments, making the experience easy."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers a hands-on experience with lots of flexibility."
 

Cons

"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"In the Machine Learning Studio, particularly the Designer part, which is essentially Azure's demo designer, there is room for improvement. Many customers and users tend to switch to Microsoft Azure Multi-Joiners, which is a more basic version, but they do so internally. One area that could use enhancement is the process of connecting components. Currently, every time you want to connect a component, such as linking it to your storage or an instance like EC2, you have to input your username and password repeatedly. This can be quite cumbersome. Google, for instance, has made it more user-friendly by allowing easy access for connecting services within a workspace. In a workspace, you can set up various resources like storage, a database cluster, machine learning studio, and more. When connecting these services, there's no need to enter your username and password each time, making it a more efficient process. Another aspect to consider is the role of the designer, and they were to integrate a large language model to handle various tasks, it could significantly enhance the overall scalability and usability of the platform."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"I would like to see modules to handle Deep Learning frameworks."
"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."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"It is not easy. It is a complex solution. It takes some time to get exposed to all the concepts. We're trying to have a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a machine learning model using negative actions. It was not easy. The components that we're using might have something to do with this."
"The price could be improved."
