    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.

    Fast NLP analytics are very easy in SPSS Modeler because there is a built-in interface for classifying concepts and themes and several pre-built models to match the incoming text source. The visualizations all match and help present NLP information without substantial coding, typically required for word clouds and such. SPSS Modeler is good at attaining results faster in general, and the visual nature of the code makes a good tool to have in the data science team's repository. For younger data scientists, and those just interested, it is a good tool to allow for exploring data science techniques.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Few models: Even though it has a lot of Machine Learning models, it is quite limited when compared to R. Most Data Scientists still use and prefer R, so the newest models tend to release as R libraries. With Azure ML, we need to wait for Microsoft to evaluate and decide if including a new model is a good idea or not
    • Tableau interface: last time I checked there was no easy way to connect with Tableau.
    • Cloud based: You always need a good internet connection to use it.

    • Has very old style graphs, with lots of limitations.
    • Some advanced statistical functions cannot be done through the menu.
    • The data connectivity is not that extensive.
    • It's an expensive tool.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    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.

    It is easier to learn, it has a very cost effective license for use, it has native build and created for Azure cloud services, and that makes it perfect when compared against the alternatives. As a Microsoft tool, it has been built to contain many visual features and improved usability even for non-specialist users.

    When it comes to investigation and descriptive we have found SPSS Statistics to be the tool of choice, but when it comes to projects with large and several datasets SPSS Modeler has been picked from our customers.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • 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).

    • Positive - Ease of decision making and reduction in product life cycle time.
    • Positive - Gives entirely new perspective with the help of right team. Helps expanding the portfolio.
    • Negative - Needs to have good understanding about mathematical modelling, of which talent is rare and expensive. Hence, increase the costs for R&D and manpower.
