Botkeeper
Well, Suited Scenarios are: Automating the data entry, analysis, bookkeeping, managing finances fairly on this basis, and pulling out burndown charts, reports, and other analytical chapters. hence it helps in understanding the business, cash flows, or issues related to that which surely end up with the ideas of revenue growth directly and indirectly as well. And the most important thing in all this is done by AI-powered tools so management of resources overhead is no more. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: When it comes to a strong comprehensive accounting then the bookkeeper fails there and we need to integrate with third-party service providers to achieve the goal. So this is the worst scenario. And for detailed resources, one needs a vast knowledge base, and that's not the case with the Botkeeper as its knowledge base appears to be limited to basic.

TensorFlow is great for most deep learning purposes. This is especially true in two domains: 1. Computer vision: image classification, object detection and image generation via generative adversarial networks 2. Natural language processing: text classification and generation. The good community support often means that a lot of off-the-shelf models can be used to prove a concept or test an idea quickly. That, and Google's promotion of Colab means that ideas can be shared quite freely. Training, visualizing and debugging models is very easy in TensorFlow, compared to other platforms (especially the good old Caffe days). In terms of productionizing, it's a bit of a mixed bag. In our case, most of our feature building is performed via Apache Spark. This means having to convert Parquet (columnar optimized) files to a TensorFlow friendly format i.e., protobufs. The lack of good JVM bindings mean that our projects end up being a mix of Python and Scala. This makes it hard to reuse some of the tooling and support we wrote in Scala. This is where MXNet shines better (though its Scala API could do with more work).

Pros
Botkeeper
  • They have a clean and easy portal that I can log into and link all accounts so they have access to what they need
  • They are so good at what they do that I only need to respond to 1 or 2 emails a month for uncategorized transactions or clarifications
  • They process all of our AR, AP, year end reports, sales tax, and bookkeeping. And it's all very accurate and on time.

  • A vast library of functions for all kinds of tasks - Text, Images, Tabular, Video etc.
  • Amazing community helps developers obtain knowledge faster and get unblocked in this active development space.
  • Integration of high-level libraries like Keras and Estimators make it really simple for a beginner to get started with neural network based models.

Cons
Botkeeper
  • their current interface
  • the scoping tool (makes sense once you're using botkeeper)

  • RNNs are still a bit lacking, compared to Theano.
  • Cannot handle sequence inputs
  • Theano is perhaps a bit faster and eats up less memory than TensorFlow on a given GPU, perhaps due to element-wise ops. Tensorflow wins for multi-GPU and “compilation” time.

Community support for TensorFlow is great. There's a huge community that truly loves the platform and there are many examples of development in TensorFlow. Often, when a new good technique is published, there will be a TensorFlow implementation not long after. This makes it quick to ally the latest techniques from academia straight to production-grade systems. Tooling around TensorFlow is also good. TensorBoard has been such a useful tool, I can't imagine how hard it would be to debug a deep neural network gone wrong without TensorBoard.

Botkeeper is quite new to accounting solutions. The tech base is quite new and cutting edge. Service support is quite fast and good. Integration support is open to another third party to enhance in all possible ways. Eliminates overhead of hiring permanent resident accountants. Great user experience and well-optimized tools.

Keras is built on top of TensorFlow, but it is much simpler to use and more Python style friendly, so if you don't want to focus on too many details or control and not focus on some advanced features, Keras is one of the best options, but as far as if you want to dig into more, for sure TensorFlow is the right choice

  • Learning is s bit difficult takes lot of time.
  • Developing or implementing the whole neural network is time consuming with this, as you have to write everything.
  • Once you have learned this, it make your job very easy of getting the good result.
