we used Vertex AI on our automation process the model very useful and working as expected we have implemented in our monitoring phase this very helpful our analysis part. real time response is very effective and actively provide detailed overview about our products.this phase is well suited in our org. this model could not applicable for small level projects why because this model not needed for small level projects and without related resource of ML this model not useful. strictly on non cloud org not suitable means on pram not suitable

I've created a number of daisy chain notebooks for different workflows, and every time, I create my workflows with other users in mind. Jupiter Notebook makes it very easy for me to outline my thought process in as granular a way as I want without using innumerable small. inline comments.

Pros
Google
  • Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
  • MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
  • Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

  • Simple and elegant code writing ability. Easier to understand the code that way.
  • The ability to see the output after each step.
  • The ability to use ton of library functions in Python.
  • Easy-user friendly interface.

Cons
Google
  • Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
  • Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
  • Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

  • Need more Hotkeys for creating a beautiful notebook. Sometimes we need to download other plugins which messes [with] its default settings.
  • Not as powerful as IDE, which sometimes makes [the] job difficult and allows duplicate code as it get confusing when the number of lines increases. Need a feature where [an] error comes if duplicate code is found or [if a] developer tries the same function name.

Jupyter is highly simplistic. It took me about 5 mins to install and create my first "hello world" without having to look for help. The UI has minimalist options and is quite intuitive for anyone to become a pro in no time. The lightweight nature makes it even more likeable.

Performance
Google
Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's feature-set. This makes it suitable for bigger customers that have the capital and time to spend on a bigger project that is well researched and not quick to market like some of the other options that feel like a light-version of this.

With Jupyter Notebook besides doing data analysis and performing complex visualizations you can also write machine learning algorithms with a long list of libraries that it supports. You can make better predictions, observations etc. with it which can help you achieve better business decisions and save cost to the company. It stacks up better as we know Python is more widely used than R in the industry and can be learnt easily. Unlike PyCharm jupyter notebooks can be used to make documentations and exported in a variety of formats.

Return on Investment
Google
  • It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
  • It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
  • It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.

  • Positive impact: flexible implementation on any OS, for many common software languages
  • Positive impact: straightforward duplication for adaptation of workflows for other projects
  • Negative impact: sometimes encourages pigeonholing of data science work into notebooks versus extending code capability into software integration
