Microsoft -
https://microsoft.com - Microsoft is based in Redmond, Washington. “Microsoft provides a number of software products for
data science and
machine learning,” according to the Gartner analysts. “In the cloud, it offers
Azure Machine Learning (including
Azure Machine Learning Studio),
Azure Data Factory,
Azure Stream Analytics,
Azure HDInsight,
Azure Data Lake and
Power BI. For
on-premises workloads, Microsoft offers
SQL Server 2019 and
SQL Server 2017 with
SQL Server Machine Learning Services, which was released in September
2017 — after the cutoff date for consideration in this
Magic Quadrant. Only Azure Machine Learning Studio fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this Magic Quadrant, although Microsoft's broader
advanced analytics offerings did influence our assessment of its Completeness of Vision. Microsoft remains a
Visionary. Its position in this regard is attributable to low scores for market responsiveness and product viability, as Azure Machine Learning Studio's
cloud-only nature limits its usability for the many advanced analytic use cases that require an on-premises option.”
