• Deployment is easy since its available on the cloud.
• It is directly as a service and no expertise in AI or ML is needed by the development team.
• Security of data since Azure promises that it does not store the data of the customers that is used by the service.

Incentivized

• The software is not user-friendly- it has a complicated interface and requires a lot of training to set up.
• The pricing is also costly - so for an individual user, not on a company plan, this is not affordable.

Having used both this service and IBM Watson's Text to Speech, I can safely say that IBM's product comes out on top but this is a close call as both products are very good in their own right. That being said, this Azure service lacks some of the extra functionality that can be found in other products such as broader multi-language support. This product is also more costly than some other alternatives which is a con in my opinion. Azure does, however, come out on top in regards to customer support and general support of the product as it is supported by Microsoft which also means that it integrates well with other parts of the Microsoft suite.

Incentivized

• The platform provides solutions for project information and easy management of client contacts.
• Reliable tools for quick reporting and the predictive data offered are quite relevant.
• Multiple data migration and easy to schedule through the platform.
