    Kortical is an end to end AI as a Service (AIaaS) platform designed to accelerate the creation, iteration, explanation and deployment of world-class machine learning models. The vendor describes the key benefits of Kortical is AutoML that writes custom machine learning solutions from the ground up in code. Getting hands-on with the code is optional but being able to edit code it makes it easy to get the best of data scientists and AutoML, while also getting the benefits of full…N/A

    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.

    Kortical
    Kortical is really widely applicable to many use cases, although it doesn't handle images or video it is great to help you build really great ML models without needing to plan ahead what you are going to try, you let the platform build you the best model. It is suited to beginner and more advanced data scientists as you can edit the code to narrow the search space which makes model creation more you build it without AutoML. Hosting the model behind an API that is ready to go is great as it saves so much time vs doing that dev work from scratch

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Easy to create the experiment.
    • Easy to adopt the best algorithm.
    • Efficient way to deploy the model as a web service.
    • Centralized platform for the life cycle of machine learning goal.

    • The NLP models results were much better than the ones that we did outside of the platform.
    • It is really easy and quick to build a good model with a lot of the manual boring tasks all done automatically like one hot encoding, etc.
    • Kortical shows the features and their importance for any model type as part of the platform which is great for understanding the models.

    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.

    • It would be ideal to have Jupyter built into the platform, they say it is coming.
    • Also while it is easy to use, at the start it would have been helpful to have more help guides.

    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.

    I'm satisfied with the Azure Machine Learning Studio- it fulfilled my goal in a single channel. Even haven't worr[ied] about the maintenance or any fault tolerance. This provide[s] the user interactive UI to grab the features easily. [Their] support teams also very help[ful], they stand with us at any time.

    Their support is great as we use Slack and we have our own channel and they always respond really quickly. Data Science support is available to help unblock you as well as dev support as we're setting up the data feeds. It would be great if there were more FAQ or self-help guides in the platform but the personal touch is also really appreciated and probably gets us there quicker anyway.

    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.

    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).

    • ROI is great as what we would spend on compute we get the AutoML for essentially the same price so it is cost neutral as Kortical comes with compute built-in.
    • The results mean that we can automate so much more than our previous model so that is key to the positive ROI.
    • The platform auto trains new models and lets us know when there is a better model so it has saved a lot of time so we can focus on new business problems to solve with ML.

    Kortical Screenshots

    Screenshot of Lab Screen is the main screen where you upload your data, select the target column and then hit start training for the AutoML to turn your data into machine learning data,  automatically build features and then generate the code on the screen (which you can edit if you wish) and leave it to train to find you the best model based on your data.Screenshot of The graphs show you how many iterations Kortical has gone through to find you the best model.Screenshot of You can explore any model in more detail.Screenshot of You get high level explanations for each modelScreenshot of Also row by row explanations - here is a passenger that is highly likely to survive the titanic, due to being female, first class cabinet and high fare but her age at 35 was counting against her surviving a little and you can get these for every row and future prediction.
