Microsoft Azure Machine Learning

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Machine Learning from other similar products?

managing models in scale It is a nightmare on most platforms but azure ml makes it feel structured. it is better than local notebooks because we have a proper registry of all the models that we are building. it is the best as the devops integration is built in so that we can emit our deployment to production without any hand steps. this keeps our environment stable and the models that we are serving to customers are always the most recent that we had tested.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i personally really like the responsible ai dashboard since it allows us to check our data before launching anything to check the presence of bias in our data and it is very easy to share datasets and notebooks with my colleagues which has helped our team to collaborate more effectively. the managed endpoints are also great and take the scaling and security off of our hands so it feels like a very professional enterprise ready solution to a company that takes its data seriously.

I recommend to explore every feature right away but you will get more value by focusing on a small and clear use cases like building and deploying a single model end to end.
