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.

Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Has a drag-and-drop interface and AI capabilities
It's difficult to pinpoint one single feature because KNIME has so many. For starters, it's very easy to learn. You can get started with just a one-hour video. The drag-and-drop interface makes it user-friendly. For example, if you want to read an Excel file, drag the "read Excel file" node from the repository, configure it by specifying the file location, and run it. This gives you a table with all your data. Next, you can clean the data by handling missing values, selecting specific columns you want to analyze, and then proceeding with your analysis, such as regression or correlation. KNIME has over 4,500 nodes available for download. In addition, KNIME offers various extensions. For instance, the text processing extension allows you to process text data efficiently. It's more powerful than other tools like NVivo and Palantir. KNIME also has AI capabilities. If you're unsure about the next step, the AI assistant can suggest the most frequently used nodes based on your previous work. Another valuable feature is the integration with Python. If you need to perform a task that requires Python, you can simply add a Python node, write the necessary code,

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"It's user-friendly for business teams as they can understand many aspects through the AWS interface."
"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."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"The few projects we have done have been promising."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"Automation is most valuable. It allows me to automatically download information from different sources, and once I create a workflow, I can apply it anytime I want. So, there is efficiency at the same time."
"We can deploy the solution in a cluster as well."
"The solution is good for teaching, since there is no need to code."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"The solution allows for sharing model designs and model operations with other data analysts."
"We are able to automate several functions which were done manually. I can integrate several data sets quickly and easily, to support analytics."
"KNIME is fast and the visualization provides a lot of clarity. It clarifies your thinking because you can see what's going on with your data."
"It's a coding-less opportunity to use AI. This is the major value for me."
 

Cons

"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"In general, improvements are needed on the performance side of the product's graphical user interface-related area since it consumes a lot of time for a user."
"There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"Amazon SageMaker can make it simpler to manage the data flow from start to finish, such as by integrating data, usingthe machine, and deploying models. This process could be more user-friendly compared to other tools. I would also like to improve integration with Bedrock and the LLM connection for AWS."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the collaboration with serverless architecture, particularly integration with AWS Lambda."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"There are some parameters that I would like to have at a bigger scale. The upper limit of one node that tries to find spots or areas in photos was too small for us. It would need to be bigger."
"The most difficult part of the solution revolves around its areas concerning machine learning and deep learning."
"I would like to see better web scraping because every time I tried, it was not up to par, although you can use Python script."
"There should be better documentation and the steps should be easier."
"The solution is inconvenient when it comes to wrangling data that includes multiple steps or features because each step or feature requires its own icon."
"It could input more data acquisitions from other sources and it is difficult to combine with Python."
"Not just for KNIME, but generally for software and analyzing data, I would welcome facilities for analyzing different sorts of scale data like Likert scales, Thurstone scales, magnitude ratio scales, and Guttman scales, which I don't use myself."
"The license is quite expensive for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The product is expensive."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"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."
Information not available
"While there are certain limitations in functionality, you can still utilize it efficiently free of charge."
"KNIME is free and open source."
"KNIME is free as a stand-alone desktop-based platform but if you want to get a KNIME server then you can find the cost on their website."
"The price of KNIME is quite reasonable and the designer tool can be used free of charge."
"The price for Knime is okay."
"This is a free open-source solution."
"KNIME is a cost-effective solution because it’s free of cost."
"It is expensive to procure the license."
