User Testimonials
Amazon RekognitionPosit
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.

In my humble opinion, if you are working on something related to Statistics, RStudio is your go-to tool. But if you are looking for something in Machine Learning, look out for Python. The beauty is that there are packages now by which you can write Python/SQL in R. Cross-platform functionality like such makes RStudio way ahead of its competition. A couple of chinks in RStudio armor are very small and can be considered as nagging just for the sake of argument. Other than completely based on programming language, I couldn't find significant drawbacks to using RStudio. It is one of the best free software available in the market at present.

  • Ability to scale across the company is limited based on the users license, cannot share a dashboard to the general view of the company.
  • Ability to retain session - not simple method to customize view per user (e.g., once session is ended, the users will return next time to the baseline view).
  • Ability to enable communication between multiple users - leave notes, tag other users, or share specific view.

There is no other platform that meets our needs. Even if it was terrible we would still use it but fortunately for us it is a very solid project with a great support team. I hope in the future to expand our use and get more licences as well as upgrade to RStudio workbench but for now we are very happy.

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.

For someone who learns how to use the software and picks up on the "language" of R, it's very easy to use. For beginners, it can be hard and might require a course, as well as the appropriate statistical training to understand what packages to use and when

RStudio is very available and cheap to use. It needs to be updated every once in a while, but the updates tend to be quick and they do not hinder my ability to make progress. I have not experienced any RStudio outages, and I have used the application quite a bit for a variety of statistical analyses

Support of Amazon is great. So far we are having a great experience using it.

Since R is trendy among statisticians, you can find lots of help from the data science/ stats communities. If you need help with anything related to RStudio or R, google it or search on StackOverflow, you might easily find the solution that you are looking for.

We did it at the individual level: anyone willing to code in R can use it. No real deployment involved.

Accuracy and usability of amazon Rekognition are great. It provides many functionalities its competitors do not. Also, the Amazon service is great in general.

RStudio was provided as the most customizable. It was also strictly the most feature-rich as far as enabling our organization to script, run, and make use of R open-source packages in our data analysis workstreams. It also provided some support for python, which was useful when we had R heavy code with some python threaded in. Overall we picked Rstudio for the features it provided for our data analysis needs and the ability to interface with our existing resources.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
I think that RStudio scales pretty well based on the size of the datasets I'm using. It has multithreading capabilities unlike some other statistical analysis programs which is very useful in cutting down on time. The format of RStudio's syntax also makes it very easy to replicate regardless off the scale of the analysis and data set

Return on Investment
  • The best thing it made our work fast.
  • It reduces the chance of failure of a project which is based on image or video processing.
  • We can assign anyone in our team to work on this as it very easy to use.

  • Using it for data science in a very big and old company, the most positive impact, from my point of view, has been the ability of spreading data culture across the group. Shortening the path from data to value.
  • Still it's hard to quantify economic benefits, we are struggling and it's a great point of attention, since splitting out the contribution of the single aspects of a project (and getting the RStudio pie) is complicated.
  • What is sure is that, in the long run, RStudio is boosting productivity and making the process in which is embedded more efficient (cost reduction).
