Featured Reviews

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.

Has accelerated AI solution development through automated evaluation and fine-tuning
Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems. Prem Studio has a straightforward yet powerful approach to evaluate disparate AI architectures on our business problems and to accurately fine-tune the most promising ones. This significantly reduced time-to-market, almost by a factor of ten in my case, for solutions tailored and optimized for customer requirements and KPIs.

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."
"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"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 most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"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 features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
 

Cons

"The solution is complex to use."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"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."
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"The dashboard could be improved by including more features and providing more information about deployed models, their drift, performance, scaling, and customization options."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the collaboration with serverless architecture, particularly integration with AWS Lambda."
"The inference should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The pricing is comparable."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
