Customization and integration empower diverse AI applications
We are familiar with most Google Cloud services, particularly infrastructure services, storage, compute, AI tools, containerization, GCP containerization, and cloud SQL. We are familiar with approximately eighty percent of Google's services, primarily related to infrastructure, AI, containers, backup, storage, and compute. We are familiar with Gemini AI and Google Vertex AI, and we have completed some exercises and cases with our customers for Google AI. We use automation in machine learning. I work with a team where everyone has specific responsibilities. We have design and development processes in place. Based on my experience, I would rate Google Vertex AI a 9 out of 10.

Versatile, well-built, and powerful
The initial setup of the DGX server was quite straightforward. We treated it like any other server during deployment. It went to the data center, where they set it up, placed it in the rack, and enabled it. The deployment process was familiar, using our standard tools like Foreman and Ansible. Since the operating system is supported, we didn't encounter any specific challenges. For deploying the DGX server, we typically need two people for software tasks and sometimes vendor assistance for hardware setup. The process takes about four hours, with NVIDIA firmware updates taking the most time (around two hours), and the rest dedicated to OS and Ansible deployment. Maintaining the DGX server is pretty straightforward. We treat it like any other server, with around 10% downtime, while the rest of the cluster remains up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."
"The support is perfect and fantastic."
"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."
"With just one single platform, Google Vertex AI platform, we can achieve everything; we need not switch over to multiple tools, multiple platforms, as everything can be accomplished through this one single platform for integration with existing workflows, systems, tools, and databases."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"The most valuable thing about DGX Systems is their super-fast connection."
 

Cons

"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 is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"I believe that Vertex AI is a robust platform, but its effectiveness depends significantly on the domain knowledge of the developer using it. While Vertex AI does offer support through the console UI in the Google Cloud environment, it is better suited for technical members who have a deeper understanding of machine learning concepts. The platform may be challenging for business process developers (BPDUs) who lack extensive technical knowledge, as it involves intricate customization and handling numerous parameters. Effectively utilizing Vertex AI requires not only familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch but also a proficiency in Python programming. The complexity of these requirements might pose challenges for less technically oriented users, making it crucial to have a solid foundation in both machine learning principles and Python coding to extract the full value from Vertex AI. It would be beneficial to have a streamlined process where we can leverage the capabilities of Vertex AI directly through the BigQuery UI. This could involve functionalities such as creating machine learning models within the BigQuery UI, providing a more user-friendly and integrated experience. This would allow users to access and analyze data from BigQuery while simultaneously utilizing Vertex AI to build machine learning models, fostering a more cohesive and efficient workflow."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"Both major systems, Azure and Google, are not yet stabilized, especially their customer support."
"One thing that could be better in DGX Systems is their power consumption."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is moderate."
"The price structure is very clear"
"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 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."
