Amazon Forecast is well suited when you are a company that's looking for a simple and effective solution in terms of understanding and predicting your resources planning in the AWS. However, it's also good to know that the cost that is incurred is higher and not suited for anything other than the AWS solutions integrations.

Keras is quite perfect, if the aim is to build the standard Deep Learning model, and materialize it to serve the real business use case, while it is not suitable if the purpose is for research and a lot of non-standard try out and customization are required, in that case either directly goes to low level TensorFlow API or Pytorch

  • One of the reason to use Keras is that it is easy to use. Implementing neural network is very easy in this, with just one line of code we can add one layer in the neural network with all it's configurations.
  • It provides lot of inbuilt thing like cov2d, conv2D, maxPooling layers. So it makes fast development as you don't need to write everything on your own. It comes with lot of data processing libraries in it like one hot encoder which also makes your development easy and fast.
  • It also provides functionality to develop models on mobile device.

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • Not easy for beginners as it requires insights to set the forecast
  • Much more expensive if considered for small businesses

Open Source
  • As it is a kind of wrapper library it won't allow you to modify everything of its backend
  • Unlike other deep learning libraries, it lacks a pre-defined trained model to use
  • Errors thrown are not always very useful for debugging. Sometimes it is difficult to know the root cause just with the logs

Keras is good to develop deep learning models. As compared to TensorFlow, it's easy to write code in Keras. You have more power with TensorFlow but also have a high error rate because you have to configure everything by your own. And as compared to MATLAB, I will always prefer Keras as it is easy and powerful as well.

  • Easy and faster way to develop neural network.
  • It would be much better if it is available in Java.
  • It doesn't allow you to modify the internal things.
