Machine Learning Engineer at Macquarie Group
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 tool has made client management easier where patients need to upload their health records and we can use the tool to understand details on treatment date, amount, etc."
"The solution's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"The return on investment varies by use case and offers significant value in revenue increases and cost saving capabilities, especially in real time fraud detection and targeted advertisements."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"There is no cessation from what I can see; whatever they have in the industry, they can solve 98% of the use cases."
"SAS internal support is very qualified and if we have any issues, we contact them and trust that they can help."
"Good data management and analytics."
"he solution is scalable."
"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 solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"Overall it is a good solution."
"Performance is excellent."
 

Cons

"The solution is complex to use."
"While integration is available, there are concerns about how secure this integration is, particularly when exposing data to SageMaker."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"In general, improvements are needed on the performance side of the product's graphical user interface-related area since it consumes a lot of time for a user."
"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 pricing is complicated as it is based on what kind of machines you are using, the type of storage, and the kind of computation."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The stability isn't perfect. We have issues with accuracy in some AI forecasting areas, and the accuracy is not as good as the clients need it to be."
"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 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."
"The solution is quite expensive. The pricing is too high."
"We really don't like the protocols the solution offers. The solution is much more complex than other options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"The pricing is comparable."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Amazon SageMaker?
If you manage it effectively, their pricing is reasonable. It's similar to anything in the cloud; if you don't manage it properly, it can be expensive, but if you do, it's fine.
What needs improvement with Amazon SageMaker?
It takes some work. We need to refer to the documentation. The documentation is good regarding what other providers we are able to connect with. Out of five, I can say 3.5.
