I would recommend it for use when anyone wants to quickly develop a neural network. Or if a user is solving any machine learning problem that includes deep learning. And this kind of problem will be like image recognition, face recognition, doing some text analysis using deep learning which includes LSTM or some other algorithm.

Performs well when you are doing some implementation which requires neural network implementation and some other deep learning models
It has lots of inbuilt tools which you can have clean your data before processing
It supports Tensorflow as its backend, so it can easily use GPU

With Keras you don't have much power to configure your model. So, if it can be possible to do the customization to the deep level, then it will be good.
It is only available for Python, doesn't have other language support.
Would love to see dynamic chart creation, like PyTorch

Usability

Azure Machine Learning Studio 7.0

Based on 1 answer

Good UX/UI and overall good usability, but it takes a while to get used to the product & platform. The whole design seems fragmented with little in terms of integration with project management tools such as JIRA, or wireframing. Overall it feels like an unfinished product that's meant for teaching more than for production.

Support Rating

Azure Machine Learning Studio 1.0

Based on 1 answer

Support is nonexistent. It's very frustrating to try and find someone to actually talk to. The robot chatbots are just not well trained.

Alternatives Considered

The answer is quite simple: Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Workbench is the cheapest and most user friendly analytics tool I have ever seen! Unless you are running a team of data scientists, this is the tool to go. Most functions (marketing, sales, finance, supply chain, logistics, HR, R&D, etc.) could easily integrate Azure ML in its day to day activity.

TensorFlow and Caffe are bit hard to learn but they give you power to implement everything by you own. But most of the time it is not required to implement our own algorithm, we can solve the problem with just using the already provided algorithms. As compared to TensorFlow and Caffe, Keras is very easy to use and develop things.

It helped me in learning the basic concept of deep learning by having hands-on experience.
It has helped us to implement our NN with very little time.
It doesn't give you the whole power to customize your neural network. If you want that then you have to shift to TensorFLow
