What do you dislike about the product?
Initially I found this really difficult to learn and this is something which can be worked upon like its not thatb easy to learn.
There were some cases and situations when we faced a lot of difficulty integration couple of data sources. And last but not the least is that this can be used for some specific situations but can not fit directly into complex business problems.

A highly robust and well-documented platform that simplifies the complex world of AI
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The primary advantage lies in the ability of AI to create value across the entire spectrum of a company's operations. The ultimate goal of employing AI is to generate value, support business growth, and identify opportunities for product enhancements and increased sales. It creates fresh sales opportunities and contributes to revenue growth. The benefits extend to discovering uncharted customer interests and needs, often hidden from plain view, which can lead to the introduction of new products and expand market reach.
What is most valuable?
It stands out for its substantial AI capabilities, offering a broad spectrum of features for crafting solutions that meet specific requirements. The usability of Watson Studio, including the creation of notebooks and seamless data integration, is remarkably user-friendly and straightforward. It essentially provides an all-in-one enterprise tool that offers a comprehensive perspective on data modeling, tracking, and processing.
What needs improvement?
The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use. Providing training sessions can be immensely helpful in helping users navigate and understand the tool's potential. This approach would empower users to explore and make the most of the tools and technologies at their disposal. Another area where IBM could enhance its offering is by providing more visibility to end users regarding the vast potential that Watson offers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with it for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is exceptionally stable, and my experience with it has been highly positive. It's a robust product that performs very well.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It offers a wide array of products that can scale both horizontally and vertically, making scalability a robust aspect of its offerings.
How are customer service and support?
The support is exceptional and stands out as a significant advantage. Their communication is highly effective, whether it's about updates, patches, or changes in terms and conditions. It keeps clients well-informed about the services they're working on, and their communication is so comprehensive that they even share information about topics that may not directly pertain to my work but are relevant to me as a client.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The Watson ecosystem is undeniably potent, and it's fascinating to observe its evolution in the realm of artificial intelligence. When contemplating the latest trends in AI, such as the significant advancements in models like GPT, it's intriguing to find that Watson had already ventured into these areas, and the capabilities are undeniably robust.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is relatively simple and easy to get started with. It can be challenging for newcomers to fully grasp the tool's complete potential, resulting in missed opportunities for both personal and business growth. While the setup is straightforward, there's room for improvement in terms of guidance on how to progress from basic setup to more advanced usage. It would be beneficial to have a clearer path for users to transition from simple configurations to utilizing more complex features.
What about the implementation team?
The time required for implementing the solution can vary based on project requirements. It typically begins with understanding a client's request and translating it into a feasible solution. Once it is defined and approved, the actual implementation in the cloud is quite straightforward. Templates and resources are readily available, and you can work efficiently with them. Moving from the development phase to production can be time-consuming, mainly due to the need to meet various quality standards.
What was our ROI?
A quick time-to-market is a crucial aspect of any solution you introduce, considering both the initial cost and the return on investment. Increasing your sales or lead-to-cash conversion rates by even a small percentage, whether quarterly or annually, can substantially offset the costs associated with cloud investments. In general, the ROI tends to be positive when evaluated in this context.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is generally reasonable and straightforward but can vary significantly depending on the specific workloads in use. For more complex workloads, such as running deep learning AI models, the cost structure might not be as competitive when compared to other cloud service providers.
What other advice do I have?
I highly recommend it and I would strongly encourage is for users to explore its full potential across various use cases spanning industries like retail, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications, and more. The versatility it offers is truly remarkable. For instance, in the financial sector, you can leverage Watson for tasks like feedback analysis and constructing a fraud detection pipeline. It facilitates interactions with real-time data to prevent credit card fraud and other illicit activities. It is incredibly powerful but comes with a steeper learning curve to unlock its full capabilities. I would rate it nine out of ten.
A reasonably priced product that is reliable and scalable at the same time
What needs improvement?
The solution's interface is very slow at times. The interface of the product needs improvement.

DBA
What do you like best about the product?
It's distributed capability, availability and horizontal scaleability.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area I wanted to see in their next major version is ease fo backup tool. Maybe integrated within OpsCenter with more flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RDBMs typically very hard to scale horizontally and it gets performance degradation as your data increases, however if you design your queries and data model correctly and properly, the speed of operations are sub-millis, especially for large write operations.
Good experience, very good product
What do you like best about the product?
The quality of the product is really good, it really goes beyond the open source Apache Cassandra.
What do you dislike about the product?
