Overall Satisfaction with Azure Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM)

I am using the Azure DSVM for [an ]AI-based product on which my company is working. We are looking for a machine [that] can be used to train AI models and have a maximum throughput with highly saleable options. The Azure DSVM provides all the functionalities which we are currently using in the organization.
  • Machine Learning
  • Power BI
  • Data Warehouse
  • Azure DSVM pricing must be reduced so that an AI-based start-up can use the Azure DSVM.
  • Azure must create an environment to use Azure DSVM offline as well.
  • Lack of frameworks
  • Azure DSVM is little costly with long term support for ML based environments.
  • Azure DSVM is very good for short tasking and costs us [a] little low than the on-prem server.
  • [Scaling] option is very convenient.
Azure DSVM provides [many] cost-effective solutions rather than using the Amazon SageMaker. Amazon products are a little more detailed products but this detailing is [a] little costly in comparison to the Azure. Azure DSVM is way more controlled than the Amazon SageMaker and it is very cost-effective as compared to Amazon SageMaker. We are already managing Aure services so we explored the Azure DSVM which turned out [to] be a good choice.
