N/A
The Face API available from Microsoft's Azure suite of services is an AI service that analyzes faces in images. It is used to embed facial recognition into apps for a secured user experience. No machine-learning expertise is required. Features include face detection that perceives facial features and attributes—such as a face mask, glasses, or face location—in an image, and identification of a person by a match to a private repository or via photo ID.

Usability
Amazon AWS
Very much suitable for many applications where the image processing features are secondary and independent of any domain. This makes it a general solution and the recognition features are returned in a JSON object in response to the API called made which is a very simple process.
