Anomaly Detector Preview
An AI service that helps you foresee problems before they occur
Boost your business systems' reliability with early problem detection
Easily embed anomaly detection capabilities into your apps so that users can quickly identify problems. Through an API, Anomaly Detector Preview ingests time-series data of all types and selects the best-fitting detection model for your data to ensure high accuracy. Customise the service to detect any level of anomaly and deploy it where you need it most – from the cloud to the intelligent edge with containers. Azure is the only major cloud provider that offers anomaly detection as an AI service.
Powerful inference engine looks at your time-series data set and automatically selects the right algorithm to maximise accuracy for your scenario
Automatic detection eliminates the need for labelled training data. Save time and stay focused on fixing problems as soon as they surface
Customisable settings let you fine-tune sensitivity to potential anomalies based on your business’s risk profile
Speed your time to insights
Fast-track your problem-solving with simple set-up in the Azure portal and real-time anomaly detection. All it takes is three lines of code.
Detect problems for virtually any scenario
There are many types of time-series data – and no one algorithm fits them all. Anomaly Detector looks at your time-series data set and automatically selects the best algorithm from the model gallery to ensure high accuracy for your specific scenario: business incidents, monitoring IoT device traffic, managing fraud, responding to changing markets and more.
