    Chose IBM Watson Studio
    AWS Sagemaker is new, and I personally think it's better than sliced bread. There's very little set up to do. Watson Studio needs to up its game against Sagemaker.

    Chose IBM Watson Studio
    First, I have to deploy H2O myself. Then 4 paradigm cannot customize code and run customized code as easily as IBM DSX. Last, I should say AliPAI is a good alternative, but it's too expensive.

    H2O.ai
    Most suited if in little time you wanted to build and train a model. Then, H2O makes life very simple. It has support with R, Python and Java, so no programming dependency is required to use it. It's very simple to use. If you want to modify or tweak your ML algorithm then H2O is not suitable. You can't develop a model from scratch.

    It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

    Pros
    H2O.ai
    • Excellent analytical and prediction tool
    • In the beginning, usage of H20 Flow in Web UI enables quick development and sharing of the analytical model
    • Readily available algorithms, easy to use in your analytical projects
    • Faster than Python scikit learn (in machine learning supervised learning area)
    • It can be accessed (run) from Python, not only JAVA etc.
    • Well documented and suitable for fast training or self studying
    • In the beginning, one can use the clickable Flow interface (WEB UI) and later move to a Python console. There is then no need to click in H20 Flow
    • It can be used as open source

    • Integration of IBM Watson APIs such as speech to text, image recognition, personality insights, etc.
    • SPSS modeler and neural network model provide no-code environments for data scientists to build pipelines quickly.
    • Enforced best-practices set up POCs for deployment in production with a minimum of re-work.
    • Estimator validation lets data scientists test and prove different models.

    • The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
    • It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
    • It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

    Both are open source (though H2O only up to some level). Both comprise of deep learning, but H2O is not focused directly on deep learning, while Tensor Flow has a "laser" focus on deep learning. H2O is also more focused on scalability. H2O should be looked at not as a competitor but rather a complementary tool. The use case is usually not only about the algorithms, but also about the data model and data logistics and accessibility. H2O is more accessible due to its UI. Also, both can be accessed from Python. The community around TensorFlow seems larger than that of H2O.

    The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

    Return on Investment
    H2O.ai
    • Positive impact: saving in infrastructure expenses - compared to other bulky tools this costs a fraction
    • Positive impact: ability to get quick fixes from H2O when problems arise - compared to waiting for several months/years for new releases from other vendors
    • Positive impact: Access to H2O core team and able to get features that are needed for our business quickly added to the core H2O product
