Likelihood to Recommend Google Cloud AI is a wonderful product for companies that are looking to offset AI and ML processing power to cloud APIs, and specific Machine Learning use cases to APIs as well. For companies that are looking for very specific, customized ML capabilities that require lots of fine-tuning, it may be better to do this sort of processing through open-source libraries locally, to offset the costs that your company might incur through this API usage.
Read full review 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
Read full review Pros good conversion from the voice to the text speed in the conversion from voice to text time-saving in the conversion activity analysis of the results of the conversion in real time Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Some of the build in/supported AI modules that can be deployed, for example Tensorflow, do not have up-to-date documentation so what is actually implemented in the latest rev is not what is mentioned in the documentation, resulting in a lot of debugging time. Customization of existing modules and libraries is harder and it does need time and experience to learn. Google Cloud AI can do a better job in providing better support for Python and other coding languages. Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We are extremely satisfied with the impact that this tool has made on our organization since we have practically moved from crawling to walking in the process of generating information for our main task to investigate in the field through interviews. With the audio to text translation tool there is a difference from heaven to earth in the time of feeding our internal data.
Read full review Usability So far we have not had any problems with the application, it is extremely easy to use and it is also easy to install. It does not require much training since the instruction is quite clear for its execution and application in the procedures of the company. The team in charge of this application is very pleased to work with this app.
Read full review Support Rating Every rep has been nice and helpful whenever I call for help. One of the systems froze and wouldn't start back up and with the help of our assigned rep we got everything back up in a timely manner. This helped us not lose customers and money.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating In fact, you only need the basic tech knowledge to do a Google search. You need to know if your organization requires it or not,. our organization required it. And that is why we acquired it and solved a need that we had been suffering from. This is part of the modernization of an organization and part of its growth as a company.
Read full review Alternatives Considered These are basic tools although useful, you can't simply ignore them or say they are not good. These tools also have their own values. But, Yes, Google is an advanced one, A king in the field of offering a wide range of tools, quality, speed, easy to use, automation, prebuild, and cost-effective make them a leader and differentiate them from others.
Read full review Return on Investment Artificial intelligence and automation seems 'free' and draws the organization in, without seeming to spend a lot of funds. A positive impact, but who is actually tracking the cost? We want our employees to use it, but many resist technology or are scared of it, so we need a way to make them feel more comfortable with the AI. The ROI seems positive since we are full in with Google, and the tools come along with the functionality. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
