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

"The Autopilot feature is really good because it's helpful for people who don't have much experience with coding or data pipelines. When we suggest SageMaker to clients, they don't have to go through all the steps manually. They can leverage Autopilot to choose variables, run experiments, and monitor costs. The results are also pretty accurate."
"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."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"It's user-friendly for business teams as they can understand many aspects through the AWS interface."
"I have seen a return on investment, probably a factor of four or five."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"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."
"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."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"Good data management and analytics."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"Amazon SageMaker can make it simpler to manage the data flow from start to finish, such as by integrating data, usingthe machine, and deploying models. This process could be more user-friendly compared to other tools. I would also like to improve integration with Bedrock and the LLM connection for AWS."
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"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."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"Technical support could be improved."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"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."
"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."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"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."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
