Likelihood to Recommend A well-suited scenario for using AWS Tensor Flow is when having a project with a geographically dispersed team, a client overseas and large data to use for training. AWS Tensor Flow is less appropriate when working for clients in regions where it hasn't been allowed yet for use. Since smaller clients are in regions where AWS Tensor Flow hasn't been allowed for use, and those clients traditionally don't have enough hardware, this situation deters a wider use of the tool.
Read full review They have created Pytorch Lightening on top of Pytorch to make the life of Data Scientists easy so that they can use complex models they need with just a few lines of code, so it's becoming popular. As compared to
TensorFlow (
Keras ), where we can create custom neural networks by just adding layers, it's slightly complicated in Pytorch.
Read full review Pros Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) allows resizable compute capacity in the cloud, providing the necessary elasticity to provide services for both, small and medium-sized businesses. Tensor Flow allows us to train our models much faster than in our on-premise equipment. Most of the pre-trained models are easy to adapt to our clients' needs. Read full review Provides Benchmark datasets to test your custom algorithm Provides with a lot of pre-coded neural net components to use for your flow Gives a framework to write really abstract code. Read full review Cons SageMaker isn't available in all regions. This is complicated for some clients overseas. For larger instances, when using a GPU, it takes a while to talk to a customer service representative to ask for a limit increase. Given this, it's recommendable to ask in advance for a limit increase in more expensive and larger cases; otherwise, SageMaker will set the limit to zero by default. Since the data has to be stored in S3 and copied to training, it doesn't allow to test and debug locally. Therefore, we have to wait a lot to check everything after every trail.

AWS is better than IBM Watson ML Studio because it has direct and prebuilt clustering capabilities AWS, like IBM Watson ML Studio, has powerful built-in algorithms, providing a stronger platform when comparing it with MS Azure ML Services and Google ML Engine.
Read full review As I described in previous statements, Pytorch is much better suited than
TensorFlow from a software development look. This Pythonic idea was then taken and repeated by all the other frameworks. You can get to better performance models by better understanding the deep learning model code, so I think the choice of Pytorch is easy and simple.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive: It has allowed us to work with our overseas teams without any large hardware investing. Positive: Pre-trained models significantly reduce the time to develop solutions for our clients. Negative: Since it's a relatively new tool, you have to be careful about not paying for large errors while learning to use the tool.
