Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Autopilot feature is really good because it's helpful for people who don't have much experience with coding or data pipelines. When we suggest SageMaker to clients, they don't have to go through all the steps manually. They can leverage Autopilot to choose variables, run experiments, and monitor costs. The results are also pretty accurate.""We were able to use the product to automate processes.""The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far.""The few projects we have done have been promising.""Allows you to create API endpoints.""Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker.""The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment.""We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."

"I appreciate CDSW's ability to logically segregate environments, such as data, DR, and production, ensuring they don't interfere with each other. The deployment of machine learning is fast and easy to manage. Its API calls are also fast.""The Cloudera Data Science Workbench is customizable and easy to use."

Cons
"I would suggest that Amazon SageMaker provide free slots to allow customers to practice, such as a free slot to try out working with a Sandbox.""The product must provide better documentation.""Lacking in some machine learning pipelines.""AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available.""The training modules could be enhanced. We had to take in-person training to fully understand SageMaker, and while the trainers were great, I think more comprehensive online modules would be helpful.""SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services.""The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly.""Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."

"The tool's MLOps is not good. It's pricing also needs to improve.""Running this solution requires a minimum of 12GB to 16GB of RAM."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is complicated as it is based on what kind of machines you are using, the type of storage, and the kind of computation."
  • "The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
  • "SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
  • "Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
  • "I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
  • "There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
  • "I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price. The solution is priced reasonably. There is no additional cost to be paid in excess of the standard licensing fees."
  • "You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
