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.

"The technical support is very good."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"Good data management and analytics."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
 

Cons

"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"There is room for improvement in the collaboration with serverless architecture, particularly integration with AWS Lambda."
"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"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."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"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."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price. The solution is priced reasonably. There is no additional cost to be paid in excess of the standard licensing fees."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"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."
