Likelihood to Recommend
It is very well suited for image processing and recognition based applications and can be easily used using API calls without actually. writing any code for image processing. It can be used with any professional software development as it is built with so much precision. I would not suggest it for a sole feature-based application like image tagging only because for that you can create your own algorithm specific to a domain you want.

Google Images analysis model is a good one and I think is very useful in our case of detections. Speech AI is also a good one. I can only recommend Google Cloud AI API and the model for that second will be SpeechKit by Yandex both these tools have exceptional values one can utilise to enhance their projects.

  • Smart reply and its AI suggestions make the organization think more carefully about their e-mail responses in Gmail. We were skeptical at first but it really works well for many instances.
  • We do a lot of business and contracts in Western Europe and South America, so the translate solutions make this much easier for our banking paperwork.
  • When we go to meetings or during a meeting, we often use the Google voice search to save time on research and filtering ideas or analysis.

  • Hard to find what to use - To find the right products, you need look closely at the details of each API, and find which suits your purposes. This can be easily fixed by creating a main page that details all of the products simply.
  • Expensive - The API costs can quickly add up, especially during the setup process and as engineers figure out the usage of the API.
  • No playground or training - There is a lack of an "API playground" or training sessions that could make onboarding engineers to this API much easier.

We are extremely satisfied with the impact that this tool has made on our organization since we have practically moved from crawling to walking in the process of generating information for our main task to investigate in the field through interviews. With the audio to text translation tool there is a difference from heaven to earth in the time of feeding our internal data.

Usability
Very much suitable for many applications where the image processing features are secondary and independent of any domain. This makes it a general solution and the recognition features are returned in a JSON object in response to the API called made which is a very simple process.

I give 8 because although it´s a tool I really enjoy working with, I think Google Cloud AI's impact is just starting, therefore I can visualize a lot/space of improvements in this tool. As an example the application of AI in international environments with different languages is a good example of that space/room to improve.

Every rep has been nice and helpful whenever I call for help. One of the systems froze and wouldn't start back up and with the help of our assigned rep we got everything back up in a timely manner. This helped us not lose customers and money.

In fact, you only need the basic tech knowledge to do a Google search. You need to know if your organization requires it or not,. our organization required it. And that is why we acquired it and solved a need that we had been suffering from. This is part of the modernization of an organization and part of its growth as a company.

Google's documentation for their AI and Machine Learning products is a bit more straightforward and still much easier to onboard into compared to the Azure Machine Learning and other AI products. Additionally, Google's Cloud AI products provide more comprehensive specific use-cases that are API-optimized, and easier to integrate into existing scripts and backends.
