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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"SageMaker supports building, training, and deploying AI models from scratch, which is crucial for my ML project."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"The tangible benefits we have observed from using Amazon SageMaker include improved time to insight and generally the common stack that is easier to support over time."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"Amazon SageMaker is highly valuable for managing ML workloads. It connects to AWS cloud resources, making it easy to deploy algorithms and collaborate using tools like GitLab. It offers a wide range of Python libraries and other necessary tools for modelling and algorithms."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."

Cons

"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."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"Comparatively, GCP offers very low cost when compared to Amazon SageMaker. People are moving from Amazon SageMaker to GCP because of the cost constraints."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"The training modules could be enhanced. We had to take in-person training to fully understand SageMaker, and while the trainers were great, I think more comprehensive online modules would be helpful."
"The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"We really don't like the protocols the solution offers. The solution is much more complex than other options."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The license is really expensive. This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"Price of the product"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"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."
