    IBM StreamSets excels in real-time logistics data ingestion and transformation across hybrid systems. It’s less ideal for lightweight ETL tasks or static datasets where simpler tools can achieve similar results with less overhead and complexity.

    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
    IBM
    • It helps streaming huge data that we have in our Teradata database to various reporting applications that runs on cloud seamlessly.
    • We also use IBM StreamSets to power few BI dashboards that our product managers use on regular basis to showcase various data with clients.
    • I think the data quality is way better compared to Informatica tool.

    • 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
    IBM
    • The error messages I feel aren t always very descriptive so troubleshooting can take longer
    • Maybe more customisation options for scheduling can be done, rest it works pretty well.

    • 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.

    Usability
    IBM
    The StreamSets platform is very easy to use and the interface is extremely intuitive. The drag-and-drop, low-code design makes it accessible for teams with varying technical skills, allowing us to quickly connect sources, define transformations, and deploy pipelines without heavy coding. StreamSets allows us to get started quickly and not have to worry about our pipelines breaking once they're built.

    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.

    First advantage is that this software is particularly new and it keeps updating according to the needs of the user. Other advantage is the it organises and produces conclusions on the basis of data without leaving any relevant information. Other softwares lack in data summarising and readability of the charts and sheets they produce.

    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.
