What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?

For me, it's incredible that you got a fully-fledged custom vision service, and for free! It's sonmewhat magic that, getting a dataset on your own, uploading it to the as-a-service form of Custom Vision, and with a few more clicks, you have a trained model, and the training is done in seconds! Seems unbelievable for me. Not so long, you needed to do it by hand, and not as a service you can freely consume. It's priced accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?

This is (as of January 2019) a relatively new service that Microsoft offers inside the Azure Services umbrella, and it has a couple rough edges. For example, at the moment I can't export directly my model to Tensorflow Lite (when using Object recognition, I can't select the "compact" models). But I wrote them, and they told me that this very feature will be available in the near future, so this won't be an issue soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:

Can be used initially as-a service, but later ported to your Azure Subscription to get better quotas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problem I am solving is to get an object recognition model to be used with our computer vision based apps.It solves it better than other alternatives (e.g. try to train the model yourself, doing the entire project of training in local, with a TensorFlow local installation, and with all the commands and scripts) the ease to use, out-of-the-box service ready to throw to it some images, and getting in matter of seconds a trained model.

What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?

I like how Azure custom vision service quickly recognizes differences between the images. I've played around with it, adding or deleting some things, some big things and some small things and it is able to recognize the differences. That is a pretty cool feature. On a more personal note, I have yet to test it out on those kids spot the difference games. That will be my next experiment. It would be pretty cool to use it on that and quickly spot the difference. I feel like it is fairly easy to use as well. It is easy on the eyes and the user interface doesnt look too complicated. I'm still a novice but I haven't seen anything that looked like it would be an issue for when I really need to use it but so far so good. Whenever I use a new software, softwares that usually dont pass the test can be seen right off the bat. The way it looks, the initial feel of how things work, the navigation of the software, how easy it is to navigate, how many clicks does it take to get you somewhere. All these things matter because it gives the user the impression right off the bat if it is clunky or a smooth software to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?

I'm not sure if there is anything I dislike about Azure custom vision service. I'm sure I will eventually see something I dont like but for now, I haven't experienced anything too in depth yet to find something I do not like. Usually software that doesnt pass the mustard are ones that doesnt feel good using it at the beginning. the way it looks when you turn it on, how cluttered it looks, how many buttons there are, how substantive and connected each click of the wy as you're working on it, all these things that a user does in the first 5 minutes gives us a lasting impression of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've only tried it on small things, not tried it on any projects yet as I have not had the need to. Right now, my experience with it has only been testing it out. As I commented on the earlier question, my next experiment is to try it out on those kids spot the difference games. That would be pretty cool to find all the differences. It'll make you look super stellar to the kids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?

Azure Custom Vision is the easiest way to classify images, it is the best option for artificial intelligence services, one of the reasons I choose this software is its wonderful user interface for training that happens to be compatible with any programming language, In addition, I can customize my own vision models which makes it even more attractive, the fact of being able to upload images and let the same application do that difficult job of identifying the objective of the photo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?

I love that Microsoft creates this type of software that gives immediate solutions to existing problems, and with everything they invest in cybersecurity I feel free to use their services. I never find anything negative in this wonderful software, its updates are successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:

Do not stop using Azure Custom Vision is the best artificial intelligence tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

I love being able to generate that experience in my clients since I can upload information on the Web safely and know that Azure Custom Vision will do an excellent job, the most important thing is to feel sure that information will not be leaked because it has data privacy, it is awesome as just uploading an image and tagging the precision is perfect. The ease in which I can handle multiple documentation API, API keys generate a lot of security. The other reason this software is my favorite is that I can access it from wherever I want.

What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?

The custom vision service is by far the easiest way to create classification or object detection models for images. The Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?

The only way to really tweak the model the service gives you is to train more images. While this isn't a bad way, there are some other optimizations that can be done to get better performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:

The Custom Vision service is at least worth considering if planning to show how viable using image AI can be for a product or service. It performs very well and can even be used for production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?

Powerful features, mature API documentation, multiple usages,

UI console for training and testing,

API for training and testing in code, supporting multiple programming languages.

Good UI for showing the traninig, testing and model performances results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?

Too many different API keys, including project key, API key, iteration key,

prediction key and training key. Could be improved to a more concise API

calling technique.

Difficult to tune the model for your customized usage or purposes.

Could be better improved in this situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:

Easy and convenient to use. But there isn't much space for tuning your custom model. You can change the model by feeding different training samples and different tagging. The model itself is powerful enough to adapt your customized changes or purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving a computer vision and image recognition project using Azure Custom Vision Service.

Benefits: Finished the project and accomplished the project goal, save much time for tuning the model or building a deep learning model on my own.

Part of the datapipe line, feeding images into the custom vision service to do object recognition and tag classification and feed the result back into the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
