    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.

    Keras is quite perfect, if the aim is to build the standard Deep Learning model, and materialize it to serve the real business use case, while it is not suitable if the purpose is for research and a lot of non-standard try out and customization are required, in that case either directly goes to low level TensorFlow API or Pytorch

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    • One of the reason to use Keras is that it is easy to use. Implementing neural network is very easy in this, with just one line of code we can add one layer in the neural network with all it's configurations.
    • It provides lot of inbuilt thing like cov2d, conv2D, maxPooling layers. So it makes fast development as you don't need to write everything on your own. It comes with lot of data processing libraries in it like one hot encoder which also makes your development easy and fast.
    • It also provides functionality to develop models on mobile device.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • 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

    • As it is a kind of wrapper library it won't allow you to modify everything of its backend
    • Unlike other deep learning libraries, it lacks a pre-defined trained model to use
    • Errors thrown are not always very useful for debugging. Sometimes it is difficult to know the root cause just with the logs

    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.

    I am giving this rating depending on my experience so far with Keras, I didn't face any issue far. I would like to recommend it to the new developers.

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

    Keras have really good support along with the strong community over the internet. So in case you stuck, It won't so hard to get out from it.

    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.

    Keras is good to develop deep learning models. As compared to TensorFlow, it's easy to write code in Keras. You have more power with TensorFlow but also have a high error rate because you have to configure everything by your own. And as compared to MATLAB, I will always prefer Keras as it is easy and powerful as well.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • 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

    • Easy and faster way to develop neural network.
    • It would be much better if it is available in Java.
    • It doesn't allow you to modify the internal things.
