We performed a comparison between Amazon SageMaker and MathWorks Matlab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The tool has made client management easier where patients need to upload their health records and we can use the tool to understand details on treatment date, amount, etc."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The few projects we have done have been promising."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is that you don't have to do any programming in order to perform some of your use cases."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"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 deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."
"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."
"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."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"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."
"The payment and monitoring metrics are a bit confusing not only for Amazon SageMaker but also for the range of other products that fall under AWS, especially for a new user of the product."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"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."
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."
Amazon SageMaker is ranked 5th in Data Science Platforms with 18 reviews while MathWorks Matlab is ranked 22nd in Data Science Platforms with 2 reviews. Amazon SageMaker is rated 7.2, while MathWorks Matlab is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Amazon SageMaker writes "Easy to use and manage, but the documentation does not have a lot of information". On the other hand, the top reviewer of MathWorks Matlab writes "Has Simulink feature which helps with visual representations ". Amazon SageMaker is most compared with Databricks, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Domino Data Science Platform and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, whereas MathWorks Matlab is most compared with IBM SPSS Statistics, Databricks, Anaconda and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.
