Python AWS & AI Expert at a tech consulting company
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.

Head of AI at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"We were able to use the product to automate processes."
"The technical support from AWS is excellent."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"I have seen a return on investment, probably a factor of four or five."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"They offer insights into everyone making calls in my organization."
"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 include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
 

Cons

"The product must provide better documentation."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"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."
"In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker. This would empower citizen data scientists to utilize the tool more effectively since many data scientists do not have a core development background."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"The inference should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price. The solution is priced reasonably. There is no additional cost to be paid in excess of the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"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."
