It should be easy to embed and customize, either online or offline. But service... I am more along the lines of scikit-learn here. The use case patterns (at least in my case) are hard to fit into a rigid black box. Looking back (say homonym filtering) i couldn't have done it with a block box. I'd leave it to infrastructure engineers to put it into ad-hoc service.
