Specifically, it starts processing millions of documents in minutes by leveraging the power of machine learning without having trained models from scratch. If any of the content contains personally identifiable information not only can Amazon Comprehend locate it but it will also redact or mask it. Using NLP techniques Amazon Comprehend goes well beyond keyword search or rules-based tagging to accurately classify documents. For my task or development, I cannot find any difficulties with Amazon Comprehend.

Azure can be a more unified product. It feels like 10 different tech teams were building it but we're not talking to each other. An example is when the user needs to know what is the next step. Automatically saving a previous state is very helpful as new users are usually not aware of the functionality.

Cons
  • It will be great if Amazon Comprehend provide support specifically for litigation or related text documents to extract insights from it.
  • For REST API support using JAVA SDK, it will be great for developers if they provide support for testing without any credentials or account details.
  • Setting up for REST API integration can be as simple as possible.

  • Few models: Even though it has a lot of Machine Learning models, it is quite limited when compared to R. Most Data Scientists still use and prefer R, so the newest models tend to release as R libraries. With Azure ML, we need to wait for Microsoft to evaluate and decide if including a new model is a good idea or not
  • Tableau interface: last time I checked there was no easy way to connect with Tableau.
  • Cloud based: You always need a good internet connection to use it.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Good UX/UI and overall good usability, but it takes a while to get used to the product & platform. The whole design seems fragmented with little in terms of integration with project management tools such as JIRA, or wireframing. Overall it feels like an unfinished product that's meant for teaching more than for production.

For natural language processing tasks or techniques, there are many service providers out there in the market such as Azure Cloud Services, IBM Watson and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), but compared with them, Amazon Comprehend is the best service provider in contents of accuracy, speed of processing multilingual text, supporting SDK for most of the languages and well documented.

The answer is quite simple: Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Workbench is the cheapest and most user friendly analytics tool I have ever seen! Unless you are running a team of data scientists, this is the tool to go. Most functions (marketing, sales, finance, supply chain, logistics, HR, R&D, etc.) could easily integrate Azure ML in its day to day activity.
