What do you dislike most about the product or service?

Logo recognition seems to lag behind Azure's competitors and is a highly requested feature from our users. It would have been nice to have more capabilities related to audio, such as being able to index a specific audio track. Azure Video Indexer generates quite a lot of images and better controls over those images could offer a lot of value for other applications of the images without having to generate more.
