I was able to use Watson to detect or determine the sentiments of the text or the content of its text.

It is good to have/include the Watson as an IBM cloud service, which may determine the sentiments of the users in the web application. Though the service has its short coming, it sometimes doesn't detect the sentiments, or it is because I have configured more than two services.
  • It worked.
  • It is Pre-configured app.
  • It is useful.
  • Sometimes it doesn't work when it is configured to two or more services.
  • It should be working with more than two services.
  • Sometimes it worked.
  • It has some erratic problems.
  • It must be working with two or more services.
