Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker ( /products/amazon-sagemaker-reviews ), such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue ( /products/aws-glue-reviews ) integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks ( /products/databricks-reviews ) integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow ( /products/tensorflow-reviews ), PyTorch ( /products/pytorch-reviews ), and MXNet ( /products/mxnet-reviews ), and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Cons

"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"The user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of SageMaker and AWS, in general, need improvement as they are not intuitive and require substantial time to learn how to use specific services."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."

"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."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
