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 few projects we have done have been promising."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"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."
"SageMaker supports building, training, and deploying AI models from scratch, which is crucial for my ML project."
"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is SageMaker Studio."
"The most valuable features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"The pricing for the Notebook endpoints is a bit high, but generally reasonable."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"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 entry point can be a bit difficult. Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"One area where Amazon SageMaker could improve is its pricing. The high costs can drive companies to explore other cloud options. Additionally, while generally good, the updates sometimes come with bugs, and the documentation could be much better. More examples and clearer guidance would be helpful."
"From the cost point of view, it's relatively on the higher side."
"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."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"The pricing is comparable."
"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 support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Amazon SageMaker?
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.
