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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"The most tool's valuable feature, in my experience, is hyperparameter tuning. It allows us to test different parameters for the same model in parallel, which helps us quickly identify the configuration that yields the highest accuracy. This parallel computing capability saves us a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is SageMaker Studio."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"Good data management and analytics."
"he solution is scalable."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"I would recommend having more walkthrough videos and articles beyond AWS Skill Builder."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"For any cloud provider, the cost has to be substantially reduced, especially in the case of Amazon SageMaker, which is extremely expensive for huge workloads."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"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."
"While integration is available, there are concerns about how secure this integration is, particularly when exposing data to SageMaker."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
