Room For Improvement

Amazon SageMaker users seek better integration, clearer documentation, improved scalability, enhanced features, and reduced deployment costs for greater accessibility.
Cohere could improve text matching, ERP understanding, and creative capabilities, with better reporting, integration, and support documentation.
Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement.
AWS & Azure Engineer at a media company with 11-50 employees
This would empower citizen data scientists to utilize the tool more effectively since many data scientists do not have a core development background.
Lead Consultant at Saama
Integration of the latest machine learning models like the new Amazon LLM models could enhance its capabilities.
Senior Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We want such features because when chatting with clients, we can demonstrate that employing Cohere's reranking model significantly improves results compared to not using it.
Director at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Because it does not have extensive understanding of Oracle functionalities in ERP, it sometimes gives wrong results or the confidence score is lower than desired.
Sr Test engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
During the embedding process, measurable metrics are not visible.
DevOps Engineer at CHI Software
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Amazon SageMaker pricing reasonable but costly, competitive with Azure and Google Cloud, with expensive querying.
Cohere's pricing is competitive, but production costs can be high, especially with Oracle; AWS credits help mitigate expenses.
The cost for small to medium instances is not very high.
AWS & Azure Engineer at a media company with 11-50 employees
For a single user, prices might be high yet could be cheaper for user-managed services compared to AWS-managed services.
Lead Consultant at Saama
The pricing can be up to eight or nine out of ten, making it more expensive than some cloud alternatives yet more economical than on-premises setups.
Senior Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is expensive to use all Oracle services.
Senior Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cohere's pricing, setup cost, and licensing are better.
Senior Solution Architect at Hitachi Systems India Private Ltd
The prices are competitive compared to competitors.
DevOps Engineer at CHI Software

Machine Learning Engineer at Macquarie Group
Automation has transformed document review and reduces manual effort in financial workflows
There will be many features in Amazon SageMaker itself, but we don't know whether the feature is there or not, particularly the documentation part. Whatever the new releases will be, they will not post very fast. It is very easy to deploy Amazon SageMaker. The documentation is also very good. It is good because we are able to collaborate with our notebooks. At a time we can develop simultaneously and work on different use cases in the same notebook itself.
Singh Aman - PeerSpot reviewer
Generative AI Engineer at Tata Consultancy
Have improved project workflows using faster response times and reduced data embedding costs
One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search. Let's suppose I have provided textual data that has been embedded. I have to use some extra process from numpy after embedding the model. In the case of OpenAI embedding models, I do not have to use that extra process, and they provide lower distances compared to my results from Cohere. I was getting distances of approximately 0.005 sometimes, but in the case of Cohere, I was getting distances around 0.5 or sometimes more than that. I think that can be improved. It was possibly because of some configuration or the way I was using it, but I am not exactly sure about that.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was that it was all managed by AWS, and we had AWS credits, so I did not have to dive into that.
