Member of Technical Staff Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/25/2024 "My Review of Google's Vision API" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Vision API? we are using vision API in a project where we have to know the foods nutritions value so we get the food name by Image recognition API and then calculate its nutritions as per food contents. It is very easy to integrate it with our application and the api response time is also very fast.The models use by vision API are sone of the best models in Image recognition field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Vision API? For low quality image it sometime give wrong answer as some food has same colour. It does not provide us to customize or train the model for our specific use case. Configuration part is complex, which can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Vision API solving and how is that benefiting you? we are using vision API for recognition of food so that we can get its content and then calculate its nutrition. In our testing with other Image recognition service, vision API has outperform most of the models. The cutting edge models of google are easily available at affordable price, which helps in quick implementation of use cases. In our other use cases we are using OCR for text detection and object detection to detect objects and label them in a image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part is that with the introduction of Google Cloud Vision API, it has helped various government-related websites and secured platforms to integrate video recognition and face recognition in order to be more secure and provide security to the customers and safeguard their data. It has also helped many private businesses with video and face recognition features to build more security in their platforms and apps. I am a part of a company that works in payment gateway services and it has helped our company in the integration of face recognition features and video recognition to be more safe and secure our customer's data. It has also helped in detecting labels from images to get the required information. It has helped in optical character recognition in scanned documents to verify it. The ease of use and implementation of images are fast and it can provide alot of information based on the image. We are currently exploring its full potential and using it daily to improve the efficiency of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Member - Placement committee Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/15/2023 "Review: Google Cloud Vision" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Cloud Vision API? I like protobuf light weight protocol for light weight and fast transmission of payload and response. regarding APIs there is ease of use, implementation and integration is there. features provied are also ok, but in some cases AWS service was doing better than google API. So there needs to be some work done on improving the accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Vision API? I dislike the video labelling api as its very costly. Internaly it uses video segmentation only so it should be not that much costly. in a direrent service, in google ads account Customer Support was of no help. Bsically If someone is creating a google ads account for the first time then there shoud be a progress tracker with them and they should be able to see where is the client stuck. basically ease of implementation and integration is not there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Vision API solving and how is that benefiting you? Google Cloud vision API is trying to provide the features related to image. like labels, colors, objects detection, face recognition, optical character recogition, logo detection, etc. We use it for object detction and celebrities recognition. First of all if someone is using their own model for object detection or any of the common requirements, then it requires a lot of computation power, data set and a really skilled team. with google's vision api which is at an affordable cost, reduced the overall cost and most importantly carbon footprint. Vision API helps us in reducing the manpower to build a feature and helps us in launching the product very quickly, which very crucial for an early stage startup.
