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

"SageMaker supports building, training, and deploying AI models from scratch, which is crucial for my ML project."
"It's user-friendly for business teams as they can understand many aspects through the AWS interface."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is SageMaker Studio."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"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 have found that the solution is very stable."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"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."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"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

"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."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"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 could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
