## Azure Custom Vision Service Reviews
  ### 1. Azure custom vision service

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yee C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2020

**What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

I like how Azure custom vision service quickly recognizes differences between the images. I've played around with it, adding or deleting some things, some big things and some small things and it is able to recognize the differences. That is a pretty cool feature. On a more personal note,  I have yet to test it out on those kids spot the difference games. That will be my next experiment. It would be pretty cool to use it on that and quickly spot the difference. I feel like it is fairly easy to use as well. It is easy on the eyes and the user interface doesnt look too complicated. I'm still a novice but I haven't seen anything that looked like it would be an issue for when I really need to use it but so far so good. Whenever I use a new software, softwares that usually dont pass the test can be seen right off the bat. The way it looks, the initial feel of how things work, the navigation of the software, how easy it is to navigate, how many clicks does it take to get you somewhere. All these things matter because it gives the user the impression right off the bat if it is clunky or a smooth software to use.

**What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

I'm not sure if there is anything I dislike about Azure custom vision service. I'm sure I will eventually see something I dont like but for now, I haven't experienced anything too in depth yet to find something I do not like. Usually software that doesnt pass the mustard are ones that doesnt feel good using it at the beginning. the way it looks when you turn it on, how cluttered it looks, how many buttons there are, how substantive and connected each click of the wy as you're working on it, all these things that a user does in the first 5 minutes gives us a lasting impression of the software.

**What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've only tried it on small things, not tried it on any projects yet as I have not had the need to. Right now, my experience with it has only been testing it out. As I commented on the earlier question, my next experiment is to try it out on those kids spot the difference games. That would be pretty cool to find all the differences. It'll make you look super stellar to the kids.

  ### 2. Azure Custom Vision Service in AI for DAM

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Don G. | Principal Product Manager - Digital Media, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2020

**What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

We have been using the Azure Custom Vision Service for close to a year now.  We have leveraged it for AI to anaylze and tag images with metadata that can be brought back into OpenText Media Management utilizing a service we have written called Rich Media Analysis (RMA).  We have been having good analysis results utilizing Custom Vision this way.

**What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

Continued improvement in documentation on how to build/leverage custom training using  Azure Custom Vision Service.

**Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:**

For those that are looking for custom training in AI service providers, Azure Custom Vision Service is a very solid choice.

**What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automated metadata tagging of assets in our DAM.

When bulk-tagging of metadata in assets in a DAM, being able to do this in an automated fashion using AI can be a significant time savings for DAM librarians and archivists.

  ### 3. This Product Was Good For My Company!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew L. | Marketing Director , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

I liked that it easily customized my own state-of-the-art computer vision models for my unique use cases. I just uploaded a few labeled images and let Custom Vision Service do the work!

**What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

It was a little hard to understand when I first started using the product!

**What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allowed me to use my labeled images to teach Custom Vision Service the concepts I wanted it to learn!

  ### 4. Sophisticated Vision Service

**What do you like best about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

I like that the algorithms test themselves on the images I submit.

**What do you dislike about Azure Custom Vision Service?**

Not able to be used for detecting minor differences.

**Recommendations to others considering Azure Custom Vision Service:**

Easy to incorporate into projects and fast detection after it has been trained.

**What problems is Azure Custom Vision Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using a Raspberry Pi to train for detecting objects.  Works quickly after the training to identify items.

  ### 5. Image Classification out of the box
