Takayuki Umehara - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…
Mahender Reddy Pokala - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved model deployment on edge devices, but compatibility and scalability present challenges
I found OpenVINO's ability to convert custom models into its format particularly beneficial, as businesses sometimes require unique models specific to their use cases. Utilizing OpenVINO allowed me to run these custom models on devices directly, which I found quite impressive. Additionally, the Model Zoo offered by OpenVINO added value to the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their web interface is good."
"It is very easy to test different kinds of machine-learning algorithms with different parameters. You choose the algorithm, drag and drop to the workspace, and plug the dataset into this component."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is easy to use and deploy."
"Machine Learning Studio is easy to use."
"Its ability to publish a predictive model as a web based solution and integrate R and python codes are amazing."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
"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."
"The interface is very intuitive."
"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
"The runtime of OpenVINO is highly valuable for running different computer vision models."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
"The benefit from using OpenVINO is that NVIDIA is dominating the market of GPUs and they set the price, so if I am able to run an LLM doing inference in commodity hardware, I am saving costs."
"Intel's support team is very good."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio was rigorous for someone new like me, but mastering it made things simpler."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"The pricing policy should be improved. I find the pricing to be not a good story in this case, as it is not affordable for everyone."
"Improvement in integration is crucial, and it'll be interesting to see how it develops, especially with SAP's move towards cloud-based solutions like SAP Rise and its collaboration with hyper scalers like AWS. Integrating SAP with hyperscaler machine learning solutions could simplify operations, although SAP's environment is complex. SAP has initiated deals with AWS for this purpose, but I'm not as familiar with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio's involvement."
"The speed of deployment should be faster, as should testing."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve by adding pixel or image analysis. This is a priority for me."
"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"It would be great if OpenVINO could convert new models into its format more quickly."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
"Scalability is a challenge with OpenVINO, particularly when I try to connect multiple streams of input or run multiple edge devices consecutively."
"I couldn't get it to run on my Raspberry Pi 4 because the software packages to download were no longer available."
"I think that it's not properly designed for scalability. It's designed for other purposes, specifically to be able to use Intel hardware and run inference using generative models or deep learning models in Intel hardware."
"It has some disadvantages because when you're working with very complex models, neural networks if OpenVINO cannot convert them automatically and you have to do a custom layer and later add it to the model. It is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"From a developer's perspective, I find the price of this solution high."
"We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."
