Azure Machine Learning vs. InRule vs. MLReef

For [a] data scientist require[d] to build a machine learning model, so he/she didn't worry about infrastructure to maintain it.

All kind of feature[s] such as train, build, deploy and monitor the machine learning model available in a single suite.

If someone has [their] own environment for ML studio, so there [it would] not [be] useful for them.

With InRule, we are expecting to be able to move business logic out of the developer domain and back into the business domain. Business logic is currently captured in UI (data validation) and middleware layers. These are areas in any application where leveraging InRule's capabilities allow for changes in business logic to be made with little or no IT involvement.

Works well if you have to involve different roles in different organizations in a project. Less suited when you have a complex system of custom developed tools

• User friendliness: This is by far the most user friendly tool I've seen in analytics. You don't need to know how to code at all! Just create a few blocks, connect a few lines and you are capable of running a boosted decision tree with a very high R squared!
• Speed: Azure ML is a cloud based tool, so processing is not made with your computer, making the reliability and speed top notch!
• Cost: If you don't know how to code, this is by far the cheapest machine learning tool out there. I believe it costs less than $15/month. If you know how to code, then R is free.
• Connectivity: It is super easy to embed R or Python codes on Azure ML. So if you want to do more advanced stuff, or use a model that is not yet available on Azure ML, you can simply paste the code on R or Python there!
• Microsoft environment: Many many companies rely on the Microsoft suite. And Azure ML connects perfectly with Excel, CSV and Access files.

Incentivized

• It is easy to tweak business rule parameters.
• Create new logic with low barriers.

Incentivized

• Helps us to take on more client projects
• Can be used by data analysts as well as casual users

• It would be great to have text tips that could ease new users to the platform, especially if an error shows up
• Scenario-based documentation
• Pre-processing of modules that had been previously run. Sometimes they need to be re-run for no apparent reason

Incentivized

• Needs more debugging capabilities.

• Out of the box support for major cloud vendors

Easy and fastest way to develop, test, deploy and monitor the machine learning model.

- Easy to load the data set

-Drag and drop the process of the Machine learning life cycle.

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

InRule's Support Portal provides a "one stop shop" for submitting support questions, accessing training information, managing licenses, and getting updates on InRule's roadmap.

Not sure

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.

Incentivized

InRule offers a more organized software design, a well-structured framework in design, and is easier for new users to start contributing given documentation. Drools is spreadsheet-based and lacking the capability to do really advanced pseudo-programming.

Incentivized

• Productivity: Instead of coding and recoding, Azure ML helped my organization to get to meaningful results faster;
• Cost: Azure ML can save hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars for an organization, since the license costs around $15/month per seat.
• Focus on insights and not on statistics: Since running a model is so easy, analysts can focus more on recommendations and insights, rather than statistical details

Incentivized

• It is always reliable and efficient.
• Has won customers over.

• We can handle 4 to 6 times more projects at the same time with our team
• We stay engaged with our customers well beyond the project duration
