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.

Executive Head of analytics at a retailer with 5,001-10,000 employees
A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I found most valuable is the data catalog, as it assists with the lineage of data through the preparation pipeline."
"The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The most valuable features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"The most valuable features are the ability to store artifacts and gather reports and measures from experiments."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"Technical support has been good, and when I called them at the start of using the product with some issues they were very helpful."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The data processing of the solution is very good, easy to use, both for enterprise and personal use."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"he solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The payment and monitoring metrics are a bit confusing not only for Amazon SageMaker but also for the range of other products that fall under AWS, especially for a new user of the product."
"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."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"From the cost point of view, it's relatively on the higher side."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"Amazon might need to emphasize its capabilities in generative models more effectively."
"In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."
"The pricing for the Notebook endpoints is a bit high, but generally reasonable."
"The solution is quite expensive. The pricing is too high."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The preparation of both the mining and modeling process could be improved. The solution requires data and will reflect data, but the preparation of the data is not useful for end-users; we ended up having to do the preparation in another tool."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"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 initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"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."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
