User Testimonials
	IBM Watson Visual Recognition (discontinued)	IBM watsonx.ai
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products As I mentioned before, it can only be employed in simple basic visual recognition applications. It can be employed in large projects and relying it on completely is not encouraged. It's better to create your own algorithms rather than using it. If you are from a non-programming background, then I may suggest you rely on this and use it to develop simple apps that can predict a few plants and animals. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM Based on my experience, I can recommend that you have a good AI management system in your company account, and if you have the money at your disposal to invest in IBM watsonx, do not hesitate. We are using API models to obviously build a work environment with sustainable flow as well. We have AI and ML lifecycle support.

Usability	Discontinued Products I am giving this rating on the basis of its usability in real-time applications and based on the interface to upload negative and positive images to train the AI. But it's not perfect and sometimes its predictions are wrong. On overall usability, it's better if you are planning on working with UI rather than using complex programs and algorithms on your own.
