  ### 2. Best training system made so far

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Danielle G. | warranty/trouble shooting customer service agent, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

I was helpful thing is the best learning techniques when learning to use machinery and one of the best things about this is that it is precise and accurate, and that I am confident I am learning correctly

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

What I dislike the most, is the training models they could be more accurate and more detailed. This could be better by putting in more detail and more realistic images with in the training models.

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making the training more hands-on would be more helpful in solving. This would be beneficial to me because I'm a visual and hands-on learner, and when I have both of those at my hands, I am the best learner in learned to the best of my ability

  ### 3. Highly recommended API to serve vision models

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shreyas S. | Machine Learning Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

It supports serving models to edge devices with different hardwares. I had optimized an image classification model for ARM Mali GPU, It was good to have GCP support to various hardware platforms

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

In realtime it is difficult to monitor the models at production. Need to rely on third party software which is a bit tedious. If there are any GCP services that I could use to integrate with automl, it would be benefecial

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Supervised classification of Images are covered in AutoML, these are very useful for many day-to-day routine tasks in various domains. I had used it for face recognition

  ### 4. Good price-to-value ratio Vision AI solution

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

Google Cloud AutoML vision is pretty to use and developer friendly. We can also save a lot of time on training models since ML vision is ready to be used out of the box.

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

Cost. long term cost is pretty high once the volume accumulates. For huge volume, it may make us to start exploring alternative solutions or even building our own models

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Google Cloud AutoML Vision is providing value in various business areas of ours. For example, its helping us to perform OCR on receipts which are provided by customers.

  ### 5. It greatly facilitates IoT developments in the cloud.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carlos d. | Ecommerce Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

A lot of precision compared to other OCR engines, in addition to having a very fast response time. Another advantage is that you don't have to process the image before uploading it, unlike the other platforms I had used, which saves you a lot of work time.

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

Perhaps what I liked the least was the fact that there is little documentation available to properly understand the errors. In short, there is little information to learn from.

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Google Cloud AutoML Vision, I have saved a lot of time in OCR image processing, which I didn't have with other processors, as I had to do part of the process myself.

  ### 6. Best ML tool for real-world AI automation training

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arun S. | Technical support engineer, Information Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

  ### 7. Amazing ML Vision api with amazing results and state of the art performance

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Abhilash S. | Machine Learning Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

It offers a lot of services apart from just saving time by taking care of most of the Machine Learning Modelling on its own. One of the features I like the most is the ability to get the model offline as a docker image or Tflite rather than having a server endpoint. It helps to deploy the model on Edge devices and help it run offline.

During training, we get the option to select the model type to be more accurate or have better accuracy, so we can decide the best Time(Latency vs Accuracy ) tradeoff based on our personal needs.

It also notifies via email when training is complete and shows models metrics like precision, recall, and accuracy after training.

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

It is quite easy to use the API because of the user-friendly GUI and not having to use packages to run the models. I have not faced any problems and everything has worked well for me till my use.

**Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud AutoML Vision:**

It is a very easy-to-use platform that can even be used by a beginner too as it does not require major coding and has some samples to take care of the rest.

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are building a model to identify some id documents for the users. The first benefit I encounter was the ability to use the state-of-the-art algorithm with a few clicks and it takes care of the modeling steps on its own.

It also includes sample code for general functions like predict etc and one of the other things was the ability to get a GRPC endpoint as API which is faster than most other API frameworks.

  ### 8. It is good to try different files

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** José Carlos H. | Soporte Técnico de Telecable, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

What I like the most is that it allows me to classify customized images and practice with them. It is good for implementing models of different latencies and optimizing them.

**What do you dislike about Google Cloud AutoML Vision?**

What I like least about this program is that it depends on various other programs that have a high cost. I understand that using Google Cloud requires payment, but it depends on third-party programs.

**What problems is Google Cloud AutoML Vision solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To practice image models that are labeled and to be able to check their performance, it also benefits me that by connecting with an API I can connect with other programs.

  ### 9. Google Cloud AutoML Vision helps create your own learning model.
