Featured Reviews

NeerajPokala - PeerSpot reviewer
Machine Learning Engineer at Macquarie Group
Automation has transformed document review and reduces manual effort in financial workflows
There will be many features in Amazon SageMaker itself, but we don't know whether the feature is there or not, particularly the documentation part. Whatever the new releases will be, they will not post very fast. It is very easy to deploy Amazon SageMaker. The documentation is also very good. It is good because we are able to collaborate with our notebooks. At a time we can develop simultaneously and work on different use cases in the same notebook itself.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Executive at Empowered Analytics
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The return on investment varies by use case and offers significant value in revenue increases and cost saving capabilities, especially in real time fraud detection and targeted advertisements."
"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"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 few projects we have done have been promising."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"The technical support from AWS is excellent."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"They could add features such as managing environments, experiment management across those environments, and the integration with training datasets as you go through those experiments."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"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 pricing is comparable."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"

If you manage it effectively, their pricing is reasonable. It's similar to anything in the cloud; if you don't manage it properly, it can be expensive, but if you do, it's fine.
What needs improvement with Amazon SageMaker?
It takes some work. We need to refer to the documentation. The documentation is good regarding what other providers we are able to connect with. Out of five, I can say 3.5.
