Thousands of ML people already chose their tool
Previously used tensorboard and azureml but Neptune is hugely better. In particular, getting started is really easy; documentation is excellent, and the layout of charts and parameters is much clearer.

(âŠ) thanks for the great tool, has been really useful for keeping track of the experiments for my Masterâs thesis. Way better than the other tools Iâve tried (comet / wandb).
I guess the main reason I prefer neptune is the interface, it is the cleanest and most intuitive in my opinion, the table in the center view just makes a great deal of sense. I like that itâs possible to set up and save the different view configurations as well. Also, the comparison is not as clunky as for instance with wandb. Another plus is the integration with ignite, as thatâs what Iâm using as the high-level framework for model training.

This thing is so much better than Tensorboard, love you guys for creating it!

While logging experiments is great, what sets Neptune apart for us at the lab is the ease of sharing those logs. The ability to just send a Neptune link in slack and letting my coworkers see the results for themselves is awesome. Previously, we used Tensorboard + locally saved CSVs and would have to send screenshots and CSV files back and forth which would easily get lost. So Iâd say Neptuneâs ability to facilitate collaboration is the biggest plus.

Such a fast setup! Love it:)

For me the most important thing about Neptune is its flexibility. Even if Iâm training with Keras or Tensorflow on my local laptop, and my colleagues are using fast.ai on a virtual machine, we can share our results in a common environment.
