Azure Face API	N/A	N/A	The Face API available from Microsoft's Azure suite of services is an AI service that analyzes faces in images. It is used to embed facial recognition into apps for a secured user experience. No machine-learning expertise is required. Features include face detection that perceives facial features and attributes—such as a face mask, glasses, or face location—in an image, and identification of a person by a match to a private repository or via photo ID.	$9 30,000 transactions free per month, 20 transactions per minute

User Testimonials
	Azure Face API	National Instruments Vision Builder AI
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft No answers on this topic	NI (National Instruments) The perfect scenario is a production environment where items are passing in front of a camera on some type of conveyor system. Vision Builder AI can be set up to inspect those items and make decisions that can be handled down the line (rejection, sorting, etc.). It's great if you have an isolated vision system as part of a larger system that needs to just pass on results. It's not as well suited if you need that code tightly coupled with other code, such as vision-guided robotics. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft No answers on this topic	NI (National Instruments) It all comes down to tradeoffs. Do you want something that is extremely flexible and full-featured or do you want something that is easy and fast to use? Sure there are things that you can't do in Vision Builder AI that you can implement in LabVIEW, however, the vast majority of the applications that we work on do not need that extra functionality so Vision Builder AI is the best choice for us. If we find out along the way that Vision Builder AI is not going to work for us at least we have all of the steps and parameters figured out that we can use when moving to LabVIEW.
