Azure Machine Learning vs. Keras

Azure can be a more unified product. It feels like 10 different tech teams were building it but we're not talking to each other. An example is when the user needs to know what is the next step. Automatically saving a previous state is very helpful as new users are usually not aware of the functionality.

I would recommend it for use when anyone wants to quickly develop a neural network. Or if a user is solving any machine learning problem that includes deep learning. And this kind of problem will be like image recognition, face recognition, doing some text analysis using deep learning which includes LSTM or some other algorithm.

• Easy to create the experiment.
• Easy to adopt the best algorithm.
• Efficient way to deploy the model as a web service.
• Centralized platform for the life cycle of machine learning goal.

• Implementing neural networks and deep learning models is easy with this.
• Data processing is easy with Python and Keras. Keras helps a lot and has a good collection of functions to do data processing.
• It has good integration with other devices like Android.

• Few models: Even though it has a lot of Machine Learning models, it is quite limited when compared to R. Most Data Scientists still use and prefer R, so the newest models tend to release as R libraries. With Azure ML, we need to wait for Microsoft to evaluate and decide if including a new model is a good idea or not
• Tableau interface: last time I checked there was no easy way to connect with Tableau.
• Cloud based: You always need a good internet connection to use it.

• I didn't face any issue so far.
• The only thing, you can't modify everything in this. So it's not recommended for constructing highly optimised algorithms.

Good UX/UI and overall good usability, but it takes a while to get used to the product & platform. The whole design seems fragmented with little in terms of integration with project management tools such as JIRA, or wireframing. Overall it feels like an unfinished product that's meant for teaching more than for production.

The reason for giving this much rating. 1. It makes my job really easy and fast. 2. Strong community support. 3. Overall cost.

I'm satisfied with the Azure Machine Learning Studio- it fulfilled my goal in a single channel. Even haven't worr[ied] about the maintenance or any fault tolerance. This provide[s] the user interactive UI to grab the features easily. [Their] support teams also very help[ful], they stand with us at any time.

Keras have really good support along with the strong community over the internet. So in case you stuck, It won't so hard to get out from it.

Not sure

The answer is quite simple: Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Workbench is the cheapest and most user friendly analytics tool I have ever seen! Unless you are running a team of data scientists, this is the tool to go. Most functions (marketing, sales, finance, supply chain, logistics, HR, R&D, etc.) could easily integrate Azure ML in its day to day activity.

As Keras is the high level API, so using Keras, we don't have to be bothered by the low level TensorFlow complexity, and we can reduce a lot coding and testing efforts.

• It is easy to learn and construct, which impacts directly on productivity.
• Good for experimentation and validation for simple models.
• Has a use cost less than the best alternatives in the market.

Incentivized

• It helped me in learning the basic concept of deep learning by having hands-on experience.
• It has helped us to implement our NN with very little time.
• It doesn't give you the whole power to customize your neural network. If you want that then you have to shift to TensorFLow
