Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet, and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.
Gokul Anil - PeerSpot reviewer
Has streamlined test creation and analysis while needing better semantic accuracy for specific domain knowledge
Cohere is very useful because I have been in scenarios where code was written with multiple reusable concepts containing many functionalities covered as different functions, but without descriptions of what particular functions were doing. We used Cohere intelligence and its knowledge on Oracle ERP PPM, and it was able to read through all the TypeScript code and create descriptions intelligently, which were almost 90% correct when reviewed. It was very useful because we had 500-plus reusables, and it was able to analyze all of them and put them into a catalog. This makes it very easy to find and use the catalog to determine whether existing functionality is already implemented, preventing redundant implementations. When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors. The time savings are significant - what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum. We can complete many more tests in a day or sprint with Cohere's help. Along with test automation, we handle analysis tasks, and now we have more time for better analysis. We are planning to implement test analysis capabilities as well. Once you receive the requirements and test cases, you can directly use them as input, and it will generate all artifacts and test data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"We've had experience with unique ML projects using SageMaker. For example, we're developing a platform similar to ChatGPT that requires models. We utilize Amazon SageMaker to create endpoints for these models, making accessing them convenient as needed."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The most valuable features are the ability to store artifacts and gather reports and measures from experiments."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors; the time savings are significant—what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum."
"A direct benefit of using Cohere's reranking model is that we can tell clients we have this module rather than missing this piece, as reranking is a very important component that companies discuss to enhance RAG quality."
"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
 

Cons

"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"The dashboard could be improved by including more features and providing more information about deployed models, their drift, performance, scaling, and customization options."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"I would recommend having more walkthrough videos and articles beyond AWS Skill Builder."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"While integration is available, there are concerns about how secure this integration is, particularly when exposing data to SageMaker."
"The entry point can be a bit difficult. Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"It's challenging for us to make a conclusion about quality, but the speed is good."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
