What differentiates Microsoft Azure Machine Learning from other similar products?

Azure Machine Learning integrates seamlessly with the Azure ecosystem tools and services. It provides a user-friendly drag-and-drop visual designer that helps average users develop and run advanced models within a low-code environment with minimal coding experience.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Azure ML is easy to use, has automatic model retraining capabilities, supports various programming languages/frameworks, and integrates with commonly used open-source data science and machine learning libraries.

What do you dislike most about this product?

While Azure Machine Learning is an easy-to-use service, it usually gets more complex as the project requires more customizations and more experienced AI, data, and Azure Cloud professionals to customize and optimize the Machine Learning workload on Azure.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend spending enough time learning about Azure ML features, limitations, and cost and also a high-level overview of Azure Cloud service through the Azure architecture center and the official service documentation.
