Easy to use and manage, but the documentation does not have a lot of information
We use the product for deploying machine learning models. We use it for the machine learning model development process We're currently implementing a project on a cross-selling model. It is like a standard XGBoost model. I’m evaluating the tool to see whether it will improve the workflow.…

Handles complex reports involving analysis and comparison of multiple documents
We use OpenAI for the insurance process to analyze documents and insurer-to-client requests in the public parts of our process.  We plan to use it for confidential parts as well. This is the main solution we're aiming for We have a case from a company where we need to generate a complex report…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We've had experience with unique ML projects using SageMaker. For example, we're developing a platform similar to ChatGPT that requires models. We utilize Amazon SageMaker to create endpoints for these models, making accessing them convenient as needed."
"The few projects we have done have been promising."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"Its versatility makes it incredibly useful for technical problem-solving, content creation, data analytics, and more."
"It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search."
"We can use the solution to implement our tasks and models quickly."
"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"The solution has a very drag-and-drop environment. Instead of coding something from scratch or understanding any concept in extensive depth before deployment, this is good. Plus, they have an auto dataset, which means you can choose any dataset they have instead of providing your own. So that's also pretty nice."
"Azure OpenAI is useful for benchmarking products."
"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"The document intelligence feature has significantly aided in our operations, facilitating the creation of descriptive content."
 

Cons

"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"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."
"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 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."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"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."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"Sometimes, the responses are repetitive."
"There are no available updates of information that are currently provided."
"We are awaiting the new updates like multi-model capabilities."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in their support services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"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."
"The pricing is comparable."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The cost is quite high and fixed."
"Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
"The cost structure depends on the volume of data processed and the computational resources required."
"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"The solution's pricing depends on the services you will deploy."
"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"Azure OpenAI is a bit more expensive than other services."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
