Chose Vertex AI
Out the gate, Vertex just seemed to be more accurate on command with our prompts. We spent less time versus other platforms getting exactly what we wanted. Google's UI is way more robust, too, with how you can configure the exact settings you want when doing image generation. …
Chose Vertex AI
We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's …
Chose Vertex AI
I have used OpenAI for their LLM and Vector Embedding service, they are really good at it. But Vertex AI has other better services like training pipeline , depolyment creation etc.
Chose Vertex AI
I have used AWS sagemaker is the past for AI/ML model development in my previous organization for everything. Sagemaker is good with respect to certain services but when we talk about Vertex AI in comparison, AutoML is the differentiator. AutoML is very strong and is able to …
Chose Vertex AI
Let's say that Azure OpenAI Service offers you exactly what you look for in simple-to-understand terms: your own private instance of OpenAI API backend.

Chose Vertex AI
Vertex AI is much more accessible to non-developers than IBM's product. Moreover, Vertex AI integrates well with other Google products, enhancing its capabilities. A big plus is its integration with cloud storage, that allows for better management and access of data. In all …

Since we have used this platforms in multiple scenarios we can confidently say that where this excels is when you want to combine free form Q&A bots with structured responses. Gemini shines through and stands tall with it's natural language model and accurate reading of knowledge base to provide the best answers to whatever prompt you can throw at it.

It is built in a way that supports low latency real-time data processing. The model can be triggered using different streaming engines without the need to write additional codes. It has serverless that enables developers to write code [that] automatically transform to auto-scaling production workload, significantly reducing time to market and resources.

Cons
  • Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
  • Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
  • Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

Performance
Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

The other platforms do a decent job, but we've gravitated more towards using Vertex now.
