Azur Systems vs. Picatic

I would highly recommend Azure machine learning design for those with less access to high-end computing infrastructure, as using Azure saves a lot of time, money, and effort by providing a hustle-free platform that is easy to use and train your employees on. On the other hand, if you are looking for complete control of the machine learning model you create and would like to add detailed functionalities and try different algorithms, then Azure is less suitable here as it’s very high level.

I have recommended the software to several clients that are interested in running events. Overall if you are needing to run an event, be it paid or otherwise, this tool does enable you to keep track of all that is happening and to send event reminders. The fees charged are also very reasonable and those can be passed on to the attendees if needed

• Leverage machine learning as a service.
• Accelerate machine learning with best-breed algorithms.
• Support remote working with cloud-based services.
• Creation of compliant and secure machine learning applications.

• Intuitive layout of the site. They have done a nice job of making the platform easy to navigate for any user using their services.
• Very responsive online service support. Whenever we have had questions in the past, some from the Picatic team was responded immediately, and were personable and professional.
• The site is versatile in that you can embed not only images but video as well which can really make a dynamic presentation for the viewer or intended audience.

Incentivized

• Limited storage for those using the free version.
• Limited number of machine learning algorithms.
• Because of its high-level design, it doesn’t give the developers much control as you don’t write much code in to do what you exactly want.

It’s fierce competition, but Azure as a Microsoft product is more stable and performs better than Amazon AWS since all of our machines are built on Microsoft Operating systems. Azure provides a pay-per-minute service, unlike AWS, which provides a pay-per-hour service. Azure allows direct linking to exist cloud storage that we already use at our institution, such as OneDrive. Azure has a friendly and easy-to-use interface that staff and students are already used to working with other Microsoft products.

• Reduce energy consumption caused by GPUs.
• Saves on recycling and transporting costs and maintenance caused by buying high-end equipment.
• Improve productivity as building products using Azure is easier than building everything up from scratch (e.g., machine learning and AI applications).

• It had a positive impact when charging for events because the money showed up before the event which helped with cash flow for food and beverages and rental space.
• Time to set up and launch a landing page for creating events reduced from 8 hours to 3 hours once I made the switch. It was also a time saver to have the reminder emails function directly on the page as well.
