Featured Reviews

Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker ( /products/amazon-sagemaker-reviews ), such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue ( /products/aws-glue-reviews ) integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks ( /products/databricks-reviews ) integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow ( /products/tensorflow-reviews ), PyTorch ( /products/pytorch-reviews ), and MXNet ( /products/mxnet-reviews ), and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.
VS
A straightforward initial setup and good reporting but needs better documentation
It would be ideal if it could be put onto the NMP where you can make more of an analysis. Right now, people don't have enough time to go through the report and make an analysis. It should provide the information of what is on the report into some kind of a dialogue form. Then, a person can ask certain questions and it could interactively give the required report. 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. If you are doing certain operations of RDBMS, you suffer in terms of the latency of the data. That can be improved upon. Users should be able to cross tables of the web pages they are developing on Spotfire and this needs to be really easy and convenient. Right now, you need to do a lot of tweaks. The solution should be more user-friendly and require fewer tweaks, extensions, and workarounds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"SageMaker supports building, training, and deploying AI models from scratch, which is crucial for my ML project."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"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. 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 performance."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
 

Cons

"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"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 solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction."
"One area where Amazon SageMaker could improve is its pricing. The high costs can drive companies to explore other cloud options. Additionally, while generally good, the updates sometimes come with bugs, and the documentation could be much better. More examples and clearer guidance would be helpful."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
