Platform accelerates model development, enhances collaboration, and offers efficient deployment
The best features Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers include deep integration with Python notebooks and Azure Data Lake, which allows me to import external data, and through the pipeline, I can build my models, performing what is called data injection for my model building, making that deep integration quite interesting to use. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a powerful platform for those already in the Azure ecosystem because it allows for scalability and provides a good environment for reproducibility, as well as collaboration tools, all designed and packaged in one place, which makes it outstanding. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has positively impacted my organization by reducing our project delivery times and increasing the pace at which we work, allowing us to focus on other more important tasks. Using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has reduced our model development time from approximately four hours to about two hours.

Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to use all of the cognitive services, prebuilt from Azure."
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"If you want to build a solution quickly without knowing any coding, it's pretty good to start with."
"The product is well organized. The thing is how we will get the models to work within our code. We have some suggestions there, but we want to gain more experience and be ready to answer that because we are currently working on this and don't have all the answers yet. The tool is well organized. What I am very happy about is the ease of deploying new resources. You can easily create your pipeline within minutes."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a good solution that I would recommend to others, but I would like to see more support and more information available for developers."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"The solution should be more customizable."
"I rate the support from Microsoft as five out of ten. It could be improved."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like to have more ability to construct and understand the detailed impact of the variables on the model. Their algorithms are very powerful and they explain overall the net contribution of each of the variables to the solution. In terms of being able to say to people "If you did this, you'll get this much more improvement" it wasn't great."
"I would like to see better prediction and analysis."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"The solution cost is high."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
