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.

Tibco Spotfire Expert (contractor via Amaris) at GSK
Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

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."
"I recommend SageMaker for ML projects if you need to build models from scratch."
"The most valuable features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"It's user-friendly for business teams as they can understand many aspects through the AWS interface."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"SageMaker has provided everything."
"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

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."
"Amazon might need to emphasize its capabilities in generative models more effectively."
"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."
"For any cloud provider, the cost has to be substantially reduced, especially in the case of Amazon SageMaker, which is extremely expensive for huge workloads."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"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."
"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."
"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
