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

"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use​.​​"
"Even for people from the business side, this is a very good product."
"It's easy to use."
"Anyone who isn't a programmer his whole life can adopt it. All he needs is statistics and data analysis skills."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, I especially love the designer because you can just drag and drop items there and apply the logic that's already available with the designer. I love that I can use the libraries in Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I don't have to search for the algorithms and all the relevant libraries because I can see them directly on the designer just by dragging and dropping. Though there's a bit of work during data cleansing, that's normal and can't be avoided. At least it's easy to find the relevant algorithm, apply that algorithm to the data, then get the desired output through Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio. I also like the API feature of the solution which is readily available for me to expose the output to any consuming application, so that takes out a lot of headache. Otherwise, I have to have a developer who knows the API, and I have to have an API app, so all that is completely taken care of by the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio designer. With the solution, I can concentrate on how to improve the data quality to get quality recommendations, so this lets me concentrate on my job rather than focusing on the regular development of APIs or the pipelines, in particular, the data pipelines pulling the data from other sources. All the data is taken care of and you can also concentrate on other required auxiliary activities rather than just concentrating on machine learning."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"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. 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."
"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 performance."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
 

Cons

"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
"Right now, it is the number of algorithms available in the designer that has to be improved, though I'm sure Microsoft does it regularly."
"They should have a desktop version to work on the platform."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"One area where Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve is its user interface structure."
"I think they should improve two things. They should make their user interface more user-friendly."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI consultation like image and video classification, and improvement in the presentation of data."
"I would like to see better prediction and analysis."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"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 initial setup was quite complex."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
