    It's very useful when used with large file systems, once the models index the files good enough, the suggestions are very impressive and produce grounded answers. Since it can natively work with blob storage the requirement for pre-processing the data is eliminated i.e. the data can be searched in its raw form, this makes Azure AI Search a very powerful tool when used with Azure Stack.

    we used Vertex AI on our automation process the model very useful and working as expected we have implemented in our monitoring phase this very helpful our analysis part. real time response is very effective and actively provide detailed overview about our products.this phase is well suited in our org. this model could not applicable for small level projects why because this model not needed for small level projects and without related resource of ML this model not useful. strictly on non cloud org not suitable means on pram not suitable

    • Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
    • MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
    • Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Like virtually all Azure services, it has first-class treatment for .Net as the developer platform of choice, but largely ignores other options. While there is a first-party Python SDK, there are only community packages for other languages like Ruby and Node. Might be a game of roulette for those to be kept up-to-date. This might make it a non-starter for some teams that don't want to do the work to integrate with the REST API directly.
    • In my opinion, partitions inside of Azure Search don't count as data segregation for customers in a multi-tenant app, so any application where you have many customers with high-security concerns, Azure Search is probably a non-starter.
    • To elaborate on the multi-tenant issue: Azure Search's approach to pricing is pretty steep. While there is a free tier for small applications (50MB of content or less) the first paid tier is about 14x more expensive than the first SQL Database tier that supports full-text search. For many applications, it makes a lot more economic sense to just run some LIKE or CONTAINS queries on columns in a table rather than going with Azure Search.

    • Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
    • Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
    • Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

    I give 10 rating because by using this endpoint and api key only we able to build that chatbot product in a timeline given by our client and also creating the endpoint and keys from the portal is also very easy for Azure AI Search and it doesn't take much time and also scalability is good.

    Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

    It is good for me, and I want to rate this product 9/10. I hope they continue to improve and also offer a free plan with more benefits to learn Azure AI Search.

    We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's feature-set. This makes it suitable for bigger customers that have the capital and time to spend on a bigger project that is well researched and not quick to market like some of the other options that feel like a light-version of this.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • When integrated with our existing file system the Azure AI Search helped users tremendously by reducing search times and improve efficacy of intended result.
    • Since Azure AI Search is a PaaS solution, we had very short ideation to go-live timespan, which ended up reflecting in our product performance.
    • A rare but not negligible occurrence was correctness of search being questionable when new data was added to the system. The search returns false positive results.

    • It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
    • It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
    • It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.
